Below are the ways to maintain Cemetery etiquettes: (Click on any of them to view it's details)

• Park your car or any other mobile system at the deisgnated area meant for it by the cemetery you visited.

Cemeteries are not recreation parks; its for serious and solemn business. Always keep to scheduled time (and do not keep the dead waiting). Do NOT go to a cemetery at night without permission from the cemetery association! If you are in that cemetery at night without permission you are going against the rules and regulations that protects cemetery and the organization have the right to get you arrested and possibly might be asked to pay a fine! Be cautioned!

Show respect to the dead. A cemetery is not a playground for ghost hunters and taphophiles. It is a memorial to honor those who have gone before us. Treat it as such (besides, if it is haunted, and you are disrespectful, a ghost might trip you and twist your ankle!).

Don't touch the sculptures on the graves. Don't lean on a monument or sit on one or pose for pictures while resting on a tombstone. Some of those are delicate and they have been exposed to the elements, you could damage them. And, yes that bench looks attractive, but it is for the mourners. Don't sit on it. If you do accidentally damage anything, report it to the cemetery association and be ready to pay for repairs! It's the right procedure to take.



• A cemetery is not a place for shouting and loud music. It's also not a place for you to make all your cemetery jokes! We are not telling you that you have to be as slient as a "grave yard" but it is not really appropriate to get silly at the cemetery.

• You are not allow to take any property of the cemetery you visited but remember not to leave any trash disposed by you while leaving the cemetery.
