Boerne Cemetery update explains tree removal and grounds improvements

Boerne announced that crews would begin removing oak-wilt-infected trees from the city cemetery during the week of September 21. The update forms part of a broader grounds and safety program first described in January.

The city’s plan includes assessing headstones for leveling or securing, maintaining the six-acre grounds and addressing items that interfere with access or maintenance.

Families should review the official cemetery rules before placing decorations or furnishings. The city’s earlier announcement said collected mementos would be held for 30 days for retrieval through the Parks administration office at 1017 Adler Street.

This update does not establish that all announced tree work is complete. Visitors who need details about access, a particular gravesite or a collected item should contact the city directly.

The original notice explains the project’s scope and links to the cemetery information and applicable rules, providing a useful reference for families planning a visit.
