The CCA works very hard to ensure that our cemeteries are as safe and hazard-free as possible. However, there are many natural outdoor conditions and conditions inherent to a cemetery over which we have no control. When you visit a cemetery, we ask that you use proper judgement. Please educate yourself on common cemetery hazards, and the policies surrounding common hazards before visiting. We are not responsible for injuries, and you assume the risk caused by a failure to comply with these regulations.

• Slippery surfaces – Our cemeteries contain polished granite markers that are flush with the ground. Granite surfaces are slippery when exposed to rain, ice, frost, snow, and grass clippings. Please watch your step and walk on established grass only.
• Roadside visitation – To avoid potential injury when ground is snow covered, please limit your visits to roadside only.
• Concealed hazards — Snow or grass clippings can conceal walking hazards such as: raised markers, uneven surfaces, ground depressions, and decorations. Please watch your step.
• Exercise caution — Uneven ground and settling soil around gravesites can create walking hazards throughout the cemetery.
• Sinking hazards — Rain can create muddy conditions around gravesites that will not support a person’s weight. Avoid puddled areas or ground depressions to prevent injury.
