Cremation markers with a flat level surface flush to the ground must be placed at each cremation site. Purchase can be arranged via onslowislandcemetery@gmail.com .
Crusher dust is available on the north side of the cemetery for family members to use to place around the edges of the cremation markers annually or as needed, to deter weed growth.
