Wilber Cemetery is Open!

The Wilber Cemetery is now open for the season. We ask family and friends of loved ones to remember that this cemetery IS NOT a perpetual care cemetery. This means that we DO NOT have a trust fund dedicated to ongoing maintenance of your loved one's sites. This is up to YOU to go out and clean up your loved ones plot and assure it is mowed, leaves removed, branches removed, etc.

We ask that you please maintain the site.

The Township is not permitted to maintain burial sites, but we will maintain the roads, utilities, grounds (with no burials), fences, etc.
