Clean Up Days

Cemetery grounds are regularly picked up several times throughout the year to maintain a beautiful and peaceful setting. We will have major cleanup in the spring to remove old, worn, and broken decorations. Our spring cleanup date is dependent on the weather. The Acton Cemetery Association will also hold restoration days to restore and maintain historic graves and markers. Please follow us on Facebook for announcements or call us for more information.
