Smyrna CemeteryGreg Hall, Caretaker Cemetery Use Policy. Each burial and cremation plot is reserved with a $150 fee. Plots may be reserved in advance or selected at the time of need. Contact Burt Gottwald (503) 581-1788 for available locations. A vault is not required but is highly recommended. A permanent marker is required within six months of burial, however, an extension will be granted if estate settlement delays purchase of the marker. The only restrictions on markers are no plastic or resin, and flat 12 x 24 in. granite must be used in the cremation garden. Grave Markers may be ordered through the Cemetery Committee which is happy to be able to provide them at cost. Ordering through the funeral director is substantially more. All colors and styles are available. Joel Daniels has samples of granite and a book of print styles and designs.Work has been completed for the expansion of the Cremation Garden. Since most of the plots in the first phase were being used or were reserved, the committee decided it was time to develop phase two. New sections were added on either side more than doubling the number of spaces. This should be sufficient for a number of years. Annual May Cleanup takes place prior to Memorial day. After a morning of hard work, the participants are greeted with hot coffee and pastries.Cemetery Newsletter is published annually. Click on a List of Smyrna Cemetery Burials, updated June 2007.
