OTTUMWA, IOWA -- Press Release from City of Ottumwa

Crews at the Ottumwa, Calvary and Ottumwa Jewish Cemeteries will begin the annual fall clean up on Friday, October 1st.   Families that wish to keep any tributes or memorial decorations need to remove those items from the cemetery prior to that date.  If a shepherd’s crook is used to hang an arrangement, families may leave the shepherd’s crook, but please remove the arrangement.  Cemetery personnel will remove all floral tributes, decorations and wreaths remaining after that date.  Fall and winter decorations can be placed after November 1st.
