Washington Township has three cemeteries located within the township; Texas Cemetery located on CR 4A at CR S, Mohler Cemetery at Twp Road U4 east of Twp Road 6 and Colton Heath Cemetery at CR V and CR 4. The township trustees have responsibility for oversight and maintenance of the cemetery properties.
The Cemetery Sexton reports directly to the Board of Trustees and has responsibility for coordinating and adhering to the township cemetery policy on grave locations, burial records and deeds, purchase and selling grave lots and following all regulations and requirements for burial of individuals and liaison with funeral directors when contacted.
The township maintenance personnel will follow the cemetery policies to insure that driveways are open and accessible for vehicle traffic, lawn is kept mowed and trimmed, brush, discarded ornaments and debris are removed as needed and all property kept in good condition to reflect positively on the esthetics of each cemetery.
