Present: All Trustees-
Mr. Charles McGettigan
The Trustees approved the minutes of July 24, 2009.
• Discussion Items
o Trustees agreed that the increase of the price of a single lot to
$300 would be effective on September 1, 2009.
o Brian attended a Selectman’s meeting during which the cost of all
burials was set at $300. The Trustees agreed that Brian should attend
another meeting to clarify our request that the cost to bury cremated remains
should only be $125. These prices are to cover burials on any day
of the week to include Saturdays and holidays.
o Update on Mt. Calvary- Doreece has not received any information from
the Diocese of Manchester to clarify who is eligible to be buried in Mt.
Calvary.
o Trustees requested Doreece to invite Carl to attend the next meeting
to provide input on topics of Green burials and the protocol for town employees
during a burial ceremony.
o Trustees discussed the storing of items removed by the Custodian
of the Cemeteries. The request will be that items removed should be stored
for a short time. We will revisit this topic to determine the length of
time for storage and if there is an appropriate place to store items. Family
members can call a member of the Cemetery Trustees to determine if their
item has been stored or discarded.
o Mr. McGettigan asked a question about inappropriate materials dumped
at Laurel Hill. Most of the Trustees were not aware of these items but
agreed that we would look into this and discuss further at our next meeting.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, September 23, 2009, at the Town
Hall Office at 7 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Maureen Donovan
