The first recorded burial was in 1851. The original cemetery property consisted of 10 acres, and an additional 10 acres was purchased in 1999 for future expansion.

The cemetery is open to the public daily from dawn to dusk.

If you know of any veterans buried in the Allendale Cemetery that do not have a flag holder, please call Jody Hansen at 616-892-3111. Our goal is to ensure all of our veterans are properly acknowledged and honored. 

Please note the following:

  • All flowers must be planted in movable containers with handles
  • The Township will remove all floral designs, flowers, weeds, trees, shrubs, plants, or herbage if it becomes unsightly, dangerous, detrimental, or diseased
  • All trees planted on or removed from any gravesites must be done by the Township
  • The Township may remove all wreaths and flowers in late fall
  • Footings will be installed by the Township only, after both/all parties named on the headstone are buried

Fall Cemetery Cleanup

The Township maintenance staff conducts a fall clean-up in the cemetery each year at the end of October. Families are asked to pick up floral arrangements and/or any loose items that are on their family gravesites. During the cleanup process, floral arrangements, both real and artificial, that are not in typical cemetery containers (such as cement urns or baskets with a handle) and any loose items that have not yet been picked up by family members will be discarded. The only exception will be floral arrangements for burials that took place in the months of September and October.
