The 2022 Memorial Service
Will be held at the Cemetery on
June 19, 2022 at 2:30 PM
After a hiatus of two years we will meet in the cemetery for our annual memorial service. Although the shadow of the pandemic remains the location of the service in the cemetery offers adequate space for social distancing.
Reverend Trish Miller of Leeds Anglican Ministries will lead the service and Gary Bracken will provide the music.
Remember to bring a lawn chair or blanket.
Board Report
Operating expenses for 2021 were $10,238.36. Net income for 2020 was $12,304.55; these amounts do not include $2400.00 which must be deposited in the Care and Maintenance Fund. A financial statement is included with this mailing.
The granite block that is our new sign is in place and will be engraved this summer.
The Cemetery Board thanks Rideauview Contracts, Thousand Islands Concrete, Leeder Monuments and D G Younge for their contribution in getting the sign erected.
Lillies Cemetery website and Facebook page
The cemetery website (www.lilliescemetery.ca) is now available on all devices: PCs, tablets and, smart phones.
A list of all recorded burials in Lillies Cemetery and the Baptist Burying
Ground has been added to the website.
On the Lillies Cemetery Facebook page there are regular notifications of interest including memorials for those who are buried in the Cemetery. These memorials are created using information in the Cemetery Register. To add a name to the memorial list contact the secretary-treasurer with the name, date of birth and date of death.
Trees, Shrubs, Flowers and other Decorations
We are pleased to see the flowers that have been planted by some families and we encourage others to do so.
Other mementos should be placed where they do not interfere with mowing. For safety reasons glass containers will be removed.
Please mark artificial flowers and saddles with your name or the name of the grave so that errant items can be returned to their proper place. Damaged and faded items will be removed.
As a volunteer organization the Baptist Cemetery welcomes anyone who is interested in becoming a board member or participating in any other capacity. If interested, please contact the secretary-treasurer.
Monument cleaning
Granite monuments can be cleaned by pressure-washing. The service is available locally; contact Donald Bracken at (613) 387-3294.
Marble monuments should not be pressure-washed; the stone is too soft. Clean marble monuments manually with a soft brush and water.
