We ask that people be respectful when decorating around graves. Please do not encroach on graves next to one another. We ask that you only plant flowers. Trees and shrubs grow too large and become very difficult and costly to maintain. It is difficult for the maintenance crew to mow and trim around graves if there are plants or items placed in front or to the sides of the markers. The Town can not be responsible for any trees or shrubs that have been accidentally mowed or trimmed back.

If an emergency comes up please call Skip Borrelli and we will try and accommodate you as best we can. Thank you.

If you want to purchase a grave please call the Town Clerk's office 508-336-2920. Questions concerning the care of the cemetery call the Cemetery Caretaker: Skip Borrelli 401-286-7425.
