General Rules for Birding in Cemeteries
When birding in cemeteries, members should be respectful of the cemetery and its visitors.
Move away from areas where memorial and funeral services are being held and give grieving visitors space and privacy.
Follow all cemetery rules and regulations, particularly those concerning hours and parking.
Avoid touching monuments and do not use them for tables or backrests.
Do not bring food or drink with you. Picnicking is not permitted in most cemeteries, including Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Avoid gathering in large noisy groups.
Stay on paths to avoid trampling plantings.
Follow all parking rules. At Mount Auburn Cemetery this means parking entirely on the pavement; no wheels on the grass and only on roads without green lines. Do not park in the areas designated for funeral business only, such as the visitor lot at Mount Auburn.
