It's already hard to remember what the forest looked like in ‘stick season,’ now that the cemetery is bathed in the bright, vibrant green of new foliage.

Trilliums, trout lilies, columbine and spring beauty have emerged and painted the forest landscape of the cemetery. These spring ephemerals are fleeting and some wildflowers, like red trillium, take years to produce a single bloom. You never know what you’ll find reaching towards the light under the leafy loam of the forest floor. We are open every day from dawn to dusk and we hope that you’ll visit and catch this beautiful display before the lush green ferns of summer take hold.

Here comes spring. The trout lilies are up at the cemetery, the mud is drying out, and we’re getting ready for tour season. In order for VFC to be successful we need your help. Volunteers are essential to how we operate and our commitment to keeping burials affordable.
