Cemetery
The Munro Township Cemetery is located on the corner of Bonnet and Brandau Road, adjacent the township hall. You must be a resident to purchase a grave site, and it may not be sold to a third party. However, the township may buy back unused plots at their original purchase price. Purchasers of lots simply acquire the right and privilege to burial, and the right to erect markers and monuments, subject to the cemetery ordinance.
The Cemetery Sexton is responsible for all opening and closings of burials, and the maintenance of the cemetery records.
Most questions regarding regulations on markers, memorials, plantings, and decorations, can be answered by reviewing the ordinance below:
For more information, or to purchase a cemetary lot please contact the Township Clerk.
