Cemetery
The Village of Empress owns and operates a cemetery southeast of Town on a hill between the two rivers. The Village of Empress organizes a Town clean up every spring in June, weather permitting and volunteers are asked to assist the Town crew in an annual spruce- up. During the summer, the Town crew routinely maintains the grounds.
All monuments require a development permit that may be obtained at the Town office. Maintenance of monuments is the responsibility of the family of the deceased.
