Delta Township operates two cemeteries, Delta Center and Delta Hillside, located on St. Joe Highway east of Canal Road, and on Delta River Drive east of Webster Street, respectively. The two cemeteries are professionally maintained and operated by the Parks, Recreation and Cemeteries Department. If you are thinking of purchasing burial space, do yourself a favor and check our cemeteries and prices. You will find that we offer quality at a reasonable cost. All cemetery plots include the provision for perpetual care. Please feel free to contact us at 323-8555 for a printed copy of our rules and regulations or with any questions you may have. If you would like to find out what is available, please call us and set up an appointment with Cemetery Supervisor John Harmon. If you are ready to purchase and already know which plot number(s), you may go directly to the Clerk's Office.
We share management responsibilities with the Clerk's Office. We handle burials and ground maintenance, foundations, and the showing of plots for purchase, while the Clerk's Office handles the official recordkeeping, deeds, purchases, transfers, and the like.

Miscellaneous Information/FAQ
Each regular plot can accommodate 1 adult burial, or 1 adult + 1 infant depending on dimensions (generally under 2'-6"), 1 adult + 1 cremation, 2 children, or 4 cremations. Restrictions apply, please contact John Harmon for information on what your plot can accommodate.
If there is more than one burial on a plot, you may have more than one marker. The main marker will always be placed on the west, and any additional markers must be flush with the ground. Headstones are always placed above the head, and the head is always placed at the west end. The text can read from whichever direction you prefer.
Flowers must be removed after the first frost. Silk flowers are permitted from November 1 to March 15.
Foundations are poured until it becomes cold and the water lines are flushed.
When selecting a plot to purchase, you may choose from within the section currently being developed. We do not sell plots across the whole cemetery but rather section by section. |
