March 15 Deadline Looms for Decorating Cemetery Plots
Families who want to decorate cemetery plots beyond their headstones must submit an annual form by March 15th and assume all mowing and trimming responsibilities under a new village ordinance.
On Feb. 4, 2026 the New Glarus Village Board approved Ordinance 26-02, updating cemetery regulations and establishing new guidelines for decorations placed beyond headstones at the New Glarus Cemetery.

The changes take effect as the Village continues managing the cemetery under its new ownership and maintenance authority.
