Floral & Decoration Rules

We encourage you to honor your friends and family with flowers and decorations, but we do ask that you follow these floral and decoration rules. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact us. For your convenience, seasonal silk flowers may be purchased at our Customer Care Center.

Lot Modifications
Absolutely no lot modifications are permitted in Williamsburg Memorial Park. The only exception is our Private and Family Estate lots. Modifications to these areas are allowed, but only after you have received written permission.

Approved Decorations

The following decorations are permitted in all sections of our park. Please note that Williamsburg Memorial Park is not responsible for the security and/or care of any decorative items placed at a gravesite, or the replacement of items taken or damaged. Expensive items and family heirlooms should be avoided. When handling bronze vases, gloves are recommended as spiders and other insects will often nest in the underground compartment. Deer frequent our cemetery year-round and will graze on fresh flowers, so please keep that in mind when making your decorative selections.

Am I allowed to sell my property?

Yes. But as the property owner, you are responsible for advertising and setting the price.

b

How do I request maintenance?

Although we generally do a great job of maintaining our cemetery, and the individual lots within it, we occasionally miss something because of the shear size of the park. If you see something that needs to be addressed, simply fill out our Contact Form and select, “Lot Maintenance”, or call our office at 757-565-2006. Be sure to include your lot number (if known) and contact information.
