Beginning March 1, City of Brighton cemetery staff will begin the annual Spring Cleanup. To make way for cemetery maintenance like mowing, aerating and overseeding, staff will remove decorations from graves out of respect to those laid to rest and their families and friends. 

Nothing affixed to the headstone itself will be taken, except for glass. Please note that all glass items will be removed, regardless of whether they are affixed to a headstone, to abide by safety measures put in place by City Municipal Code. 

All items that are removed will be collected and placed around a tree in the area where a loved one is buried. Beginning March 13, staff will properly dispose of the items.

Cemetery staff appreciate the community’s cooperation in helping to ensure the City’s cemeteries are well kept to properly honor those who have been laid to rest.

If you have questions, please contact Rhiannon Natali, Brighton Cemetery Manager, at rnatali@brightonco.gov or 303-655-2060.
