FAQS
The cemetery is non-denominational and welcomes all. The annual meeting is held on the Tuesday before Memorial Day; lot owners are welcome to attend. The cemetery works with all local funeral homes and local monument companies. Lots are available for purchase by contacting either President Mark Cance or Cemetery Superintendent Don Vogler.

No, but we will gladly provide you with a list of local monument companies that offer this service or you can reference our RESOUCES tab for this information.
Artificial pieces are allowed but only from November 1 through April 1. They will be removed by cemetery staff after this date and discarded.

We do allow the American flag to be placed on Veterans' graves. The Prairie View Cemetery Association places a flag on all Veterans' graves on Memorial Day weekend and removes them 1-2 weeks later. Families are encouraged and welcomed to place their own American flag the remainder of the year. We reserve the right to remove them once they are wind torn or faded.
