🌷 Oakdale Cemetery Decoration Reminder 🌷

The City of Adel kindly asks that all headstone decorations be removed from Oakdale Cemetery. Removing these items allows our crews to safely and efficiently begin seasonal maintenance and grounds care.

Please take a moment to collect any decorations you wish to keep. Items remaining after March 16th will be removed during routine maintenance.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep Oakdale Cemetery a respectful and well-maintained place for all. Thank you! 🌿

Our private swim lessons typically fill for the entire summer within about 30 minutes, so having your residency approved ahead of time can help you avoid missing out on your preferred lessons.
