Thank you all for thanking me for all that I do. I appreciate it.
But, just so you all know, it is Michelle Falkinburg, Donna Brownell, Vern Stover, that are “The Association”. We have volunteers that are willing and ready to come out and help.
We do this together. We vote.
I thank them for all of their efforts.

Anyone that would like to join or volunteer to help out with different things just let us know.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEST CREEK CEMETERY ON YOUR 253rd YEAR!!

Our Cemetery will also be celebrating its birthday this July 4th. While we do not have an exact date, the first burial was Jarvis Pharo in 1773. We will celebrate with the USA and the cemetery will be 253 years old. Here is our proclamation with some fun facts. So much history here.

We will be submitting our application to be placed in the National Register as well in a few weeks.

Good morning!! Just letting you all know about our grass cutting schedule. The grass was scheduled to be mowed tomorrow on July 2nd but due to the extreme temperatures for the next few days the grass unfortunately will not be mowed. Probably not for the next few weeks. We have no control over scheduling. I apologize for the over grown cemetery. It was cut two weeks ago and is getting long. I know how bad this looks. Believe me, we do not enjoy having the cemetery look bad especially when we strive to make it nice and safe. We have heard, in the past, to get off of our lazy butts and mow it ourselves. Unfortunately, I cannot do that anymore or I would. But, those of you that own plots or grave sites, you are welcome to w**d whack your own. Yes, that is the cemeteries job to maintain. But all I am saying is if you wanted to, you can. Some of you do maintain your sites. We appreciate that.

Also, another thing that I need to address, that was brought to our attention. As you know, we have signs up on the new fences. One in particular is “No Dogs Permitted in the Cemetery.” Why do we do that? Because people walk their dogs through the cemetery and they p**p and the owner does not pick it up. So with that said, we will now have to place a couple more signs for the outside perimeters of the fences because people think it is ok to let their dogs p**p out there and not clean it up. We will definitely enforce it with cameras. We do no like being this petty but clean up after your pets. Do not let others step in it or clean up after you. Please be kind and considerate.
Thank you!

Have a wonderful July 4th!!

May is Cemetery Appreciation month!!

Be sure to get out and “appreciate” a cemetery in your community!!

Volunteers are always welcomed. Cemetery cleanup, placing flags and flag holders for our Veterans, and Wreathes for our Veterans in December for Wreathes Across America.

Donations are always welcome. We use donations for cemetery maintenance . You can mail to The West Creek Cemetery Association, PO BOX 15. West Creek, NJ 08092.

If anyone is interested in sponsoring a wreath or wreathes for our Veterans in the cemetery, the wreathes cost $17.00 per wreathe. You can write a check to The West Creek Cemetery Association and send a note for the veteran or veterans that you would like to sponsor. Or you can go on our page and you can make the donation yourself. When you get on the site for Wreathes Across America, just scroll down to the West Creek Cemetery Association and follow the directions.
Either way, we can do it and your name will be put in as the sponsor or you can do it on your own. Wreathes Across is done in December insuring all of our Veterans receive a wreathe. Usually, we fall short of sponsors and donations. We have 285 veterans in our cemetery. You can donate to us at anytime before December. We will deposit the check and put all of the money into wreathes across America to be deposited at once with everyone’s name and who they sponsor and the amount.

Any questions contact us on this page via messenger.

And as usual, we are always looking for volunteers. We would like to increase our members. This does not mean that you have to come out to meetings every month. We are looking for people that care to oversee the cemetery and maintaining it. Just simple cleanup, and new faces and ideas.

So let us know if you are interested. Send a message and find out about us. It is really easy. Just need more people. We would love to have you!!
