Cemeteries

Genoa Township owns and maintains four cemeteries that hold important historical significance to the community. Plastic flowers are prohibited during from April 1 through November 1 of each year as they interfere with the regular mowing and upkeep of the cemeteries.  Flags are placed by the Township on all veteran graves annually on Memorial Day.

For additional information, please contact the Maintenance Department at 614-568-2080.
