The county's maintenance director is asking that Hendry county cemetery code rules be observed in the 100-year old cemetery. A large sign at the entrance posts the rules for grave site decorations and additions indicating that borders, solar lights, arches, benches and other decorations are not allowed.
The sign has been there for at least a decade.
Generally, no additions to the grave sites are allowed, disallowing solar lights, pinwheels, benches, arbors and non-permanent items that interfere with maintenance and the ambiance of the cemetery.
The code violation signs are now mostly in the northwest section of the cemetery, with notations on the back indicating the items that must be removed. The original warning gave 30 days to comply, but that has recently been changed to six months.
