The Twentynine Palms Cemetery Board would like to remind everyone of the rules regarding their loved one’s graves at the Twentynine Palms Public Cemetery. Cemetery regulations permit a maximum of three items not to exceed 18 inches high per full grave. Only plain white rock as provided by the cemetery is permitted. Removal or alteration of white rock and/or outline bricks is vandalism punishable under state law. You may view a copy of the cemetery rules and regulations at the cemetery office. All items not in compliance with the policy must be removed by October 31. Any noncompliant items remaining will be removed by Cemetery staff on November 1. You can pick them up during business hours Monday through Friday (excluding November 11, November 27, and November 28). Any unclaimed items will be disposed of on December 1. Signs will be posted at the entrance and in multiple spots on the grounds as a visual reminder to visitors.
