News Release

MILFORD — The Milford Cemetery Association is a nonprofit cemetery association whose board of directors are all volunteers. The association is dedicated to maintaining and managing the Milford Cemetery.

The cemetery does not receive any tax dollars for maintenance. It has been a tradition for many years to have a community volunteer day to spruce up the cemetery before Memorial weekend.

The Ancil Geiger American Legion takes care of placing flags on veterans’ gravesites and the Milford Volunteer Fire Department does the same for volunteer fireman.

On May 23, the cemetery board is asking volunteers to bring weed trimmers and rakes to clean up around the headstones. Come whenever you can during the day. There is a dumpster near the storage shed for trash.

May 24 will be the rain date.

For more information, call (574) 453-8676.
