Click here to watch a video on the proposed changes to Chapter 26

Chapter 26 contains the definition of a single grave at the Forest Hill Cemetery.  The definition was orignially written to include one casket or 6 cremated remains.  Over the past 20 years the number of cremations has increased and the practice of the Town Sexton has been to include 2 cremated remains in the same grave site as a full sized casket.  The proposed change to the Cemetery Ordinance would be to change the definition to include the Town's current practice.  The change would read as follows. 

SINGLE GRAVE: A plot designated to contain the remains of one adult human being and two cremated remains of human beings; or two children and two cremated remains of human beings; or cremated remains of eight (8) human beings, at the discretion of the Town, provided such remains are the members of the same family or anyone approved for interment within said lot by the owner of said lot.
