Hedemarken Cemetery Inc.

“Expenses 2,576 total 2,576”

“Our only mission is to provide for the care and upkeep of the hedemarken church building and for the cemetery.”

“The year 2020 turned out to be a very unusual year, to say the least. Still, our only service is to provide for the care and upkeep of the cemetery at hedemarken lutheran church. We are a small congregation so phone calls and virtual meetings did suffice in getting the business of the year taken care of. The trustees did get together in may for a cleanup day. We picked up branches and filled dirt where needed, to make sure the cemetery looks great. It only took one day so all our time was donated. Due to the pandemic, the church was closed for the year. Funerals were held at the funeral home and meetings were held elsewhere. We are seriously considering closing the church for good this winter as it cost 5,057 in expenses in 2020. But the cemetery is there forever.”

“We had 2 major funerals in 2019, which resulted in memorials and donations of 4,042. We also sold two cemetery lots to non-members for 600. Our investments took an initial hit in the beginning of 2020, but by the end of the year recovered to make a gain of 6,486. We also had to transfer 8,000 from our investments to checking to cover expenses and keep enough in checking to keep from getting charged a service fee.”
