Community Wishlist
Our committee has identified a “Wish List” for the cemetery. This list will change as the restoration continues and the cemetery’s needs are identified. We encourage individuals, groups, and businesses to participate in the restoration. Monetary donations are also encouraged. Please note which item you want to fulfill in the memo line.
- Replace both 4 ft x 8 ft signs. Prefer a low maintenance product that can be washed and cleaned in the future.
- Ensure each unmarked grave has a temporary concrete marker with PVC sleeve and cross.
- Remove white rebar crosses from graves with markers.
- Replace and repaint front gate.
- Install permanent markers for unmarked graves.
- Native landscaping to return shade to the cemetery, without overwhelming or endangering the headstones.
- Benches for reflection.
- Memorial wall, with names of people of Ellsworth for whom we do not know where they are.
