HELLO DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES OF WILLOWBANK,

At our latest board meeting, we learned our grounds maintenance volunteer Greg is leaving the board after 8 years of hard work and dedication to our cemetery. Thank you for everything you do and continue to do Greg. We will miss you.

Volunteers are needed in a few roles for the board. Please get in touch with us to learn more. We have about 4 meetings a year and overall are not that busy. 

Fall Cleanup is scheduled for October 24, 2026 10am, meet at the circle in the cemetery.

DONATIONS AND INITIATIVES FOR 2026

In 2025, the cemetery received an incredible amount of donations. THANK YOU!! We are putting those donations to use! First off, are the restorations to monuments and the grounds. Our big trees take a lot of maintenance and so a lot of professional landscaping is paramount! The board has a few initiatives for 2026: 

RESTORATIONS

LANDSCAPING/TREE MAINTENANCE

COLUMBARIUM 

PAINTING OF THE GATEWAY INTO THE CEMETERY

PAINTING OF BENCHES AND MAINTENANCE

ROAD MAINTENANCE

A PUBLIC SEATING AREA

TREE PLANTING

WE NEED YOUR EMAILS AND NEW ADDRESS INFORMATION! 

CURRENT CONTACT INFORMATION IS CRITICAL TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH EVERYONE . PLEASE SEND US YOUR CURRENT CONTACT INFORMATION THROUGH CONTACT US! THANK YOU!!

We have filled our two openings on the board and cannot be more thrilled to bring Ron and Andrew on board.  Welcome to both of you!

Also, we are very grateful to have had Dr. Stephen Heaton and Gary Bullock on the team. We already miss their presences and wish them all the best in the future!
