GARBAGE IN CEMETERY

We find lots of plastic and sponge in our cemetery. We humbly request all parishioners NOT to use plastic and candles on the grave. As we try to beautify our cemetery, please avoid plastic vases and flowers; instead, you can use the same money for charity. For this, box will be kept outside the cemetery. You can put one flower-garland on the grave
