Rome Cemetery

We have a sprinkler running on the front lawn of the office area to water the newly planted grass and these guys were enjoying the shower. :) Not sure what kind they are.

The Rome Cemetery office will be closed Monday, May 25th so our staff may spend time honoring the deceased veterans in their families.

We will reopen on Wednesday, May 27th. We wish you all a safe Memorial weekend.

Periodically, we upgrade the cemetery maintenance equipment to enable our staff to continue to keep the grounds looking nice in the most efficient way possible. Doing this means we have equipment we no longer use and make available for sale. The equipment is still usable.

Currently we have 2 Bad Boy Zero turn mowers for sale. We are asking $1,500 for each mower. These were over $3,500 new.

If you are interested or know someone who might be, please reach out. They will be sold on a first come, first pay basis.

We would like to remind you the Annual Lot Owner meeting is on Monday, May 11 at 5 pm at the cemetery office.

If you would like to attend, but are unable to be here in person, please email the office at: [email protected] for the link to attend via Zoom.

The annual meeting is the chance for you to ask questions of the board of directors, bring any concerns you have and any suggestions for bettering the cemetery.

If you've been to the cemetery recently, you may have noticed a new sign just past the Kingsley Chapel. The sign highlights our rules and regulations as update in May of 2025. We hope you take a moment to read and become familiar with the rules and regulations. Compliance is not only appreciated but helps make the cemetery a welcoming place for all visitors.

Complete rules and regulations are available on our website www.romecemetery.org or by visiting the office.

As we endure the snow and cold and wait patiently for spring - it's not too early to think about making your sponsorship for Wreaths Across America.

This year's event takes place on December 19, 2026. Sponsoring early ensures that, if you are sponsoring a wreath for a specific veteran in Rome Cemetery, that wreath will be here. Sponsoring early also means you don't have to remember as the event gets closer and the holiday season becomes hectic.

You can sponsor online by going to: www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/NY0005P or by sending a check payable to Wreaths Across America to Rome Cemetery; PO Box 464; Rome NY 13442. Please include a note if your sponsorship is for a specific veteran.

If you have any questions, please reach out.

Check-out the Wreaths Across America Page that I Support! Wreaths Across America ("WAA") coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies every December to "Remember, Honor, and Teach" about the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families. Please check out this page to learn how you can help by sponsoring Veterans Remembrance Wreaths or by joining us on Decembe...

Due to the snowfall over the weekend, the cemetery office is closed today to allow for plowing and cleanup.

We will reopen on Wednesday. If you need to reach us, please message us here, email us at [email protected] or call the office at 315-336-6210 and leave a message. We will respond as soon as possible today.

Thank you for understanding and stay safe out there.
