Funeral Schedule

FALL CLEAN UP

ANYTHING OF VALUE SHOULD BE REMOVED.

THE EQUIPMENT USED IN ORDER TO REMOVE LEAVES FROM LOTS IN THE CEMETERY CAN DAMAGE AND MISPLACE SMALL ITEMS.  AS THE HIGH VELOCITY BLOWERS REMOVE LEAVES THEY ALSO INADVERTENTLY REMOVE ITEMS FROM THE MONUMENTS.  THE BEST WAY TO AVOID THE LOSS OF ITEMS IS TO REMOVE THESE PROMPTLY.  CLEAN UP SHOULD BE COMPLETED MID-DECEMBER.

Funeral Rules

  • Only 1 "New Single Grave" or "New 2 Grave" burial per day
  • Monday-Friday you must be in by 1:00, Saturdays by 12:00, or a late charge will apply, $200/hour
  • No personal checks please. Make check payable to "City of Brockton"

There must be one hour between funerals that are in or near the same sections of the cemetery. The General Foreman, Erik Duquette, will making the final decision if he feels he can not accommodate the amount of traffic on any given day.

Additionally, families are no longer allowed to shovel dirt onto the casket. We have experienced some very negative situations because of this act.
