Glenwood CemeteryGlenwood Cemetery

Glenwood Cemetery is located near the intersection of Great Road and Parker Street and is comprised of approximately 25 acres of land. The Cemetery and Parks Division has the responsibility for the maintenance and management of the Glenwood Cemetery. The grass is mowed and trimmed as needed around headstones and trees on a regular basis. All Town plantings and shrubs are trimmed in the spring. 

It is the lot owner's responsibility to maintain shrubs and plantings on their lots. The Cemetery Division will continue to remove shrubs that become unsightly or overgrown. The Town also directs the placement of monuments and flat markers to ensure conformance to Cemetery By-laws. The Cemetery Division installs G.I. Markers for our Veterans; the Veterans Administration supplies the G.I. Markers.
