Oakland Cemetery

This is a follow-up to the highly-successful clean-ups that took place in 2023. As a result of our efforts the cemetery is looking great and we hope to continue the momentum as we head into the spring and summer months. This event is being co-sponsored once again by Gateway Life Church and the Cranston Historical Cemeteries Commission.
CHCC will be actively participating in this effort on Saturday, May 4th and we urge anyone who has some time available on that day morning to come and lend a hand. If possible, please bring your own tools. Among the items needed to do the job are rakes, weedwhackers, leaf blowers, loppers, battery powered hedge trimmers, pruning shears and mowers. If possible, bring some yard waste bags as well. As always, we recommend long sleeves, work gloves and goggles for those working with power tools. The church will be providing water for the workers. Moving forward, we would like to see individuals, groups, families or businesses to adopt a section of the cemetery to maintain on a monthly basis. LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO GET THE JOB DONE!
