Stella 
Greeter & Support Dog

Cedar Grove Cemetery is the home away from home of a beautiful West Highland White Terrier named Stella. Stella graciously greets visitors to the Cottage House at Cedar Grove and participates in all facets of cemetery maintenance, including visits to the monument company. But her greatest contribution is the comfort and support she offers to the bereaved when they come to the cemetery to make final arrangements for their loved ones. She is very intuitive and can often recognize when a visitor of the cemetery needs and extra touch of love.

Stella is Leon's dog and has been patrolling the grounds of the cemetery since 2020.
