What is the Town doing given this lack of funding for cemetery maintenance?

Answer

With all the demands on the Town’s general operating funds, there are no good alternatives for the Town.  The DPW Director is trying to have DPW staff as available spend whatever time they can find on performing at least minimal work at the Cemetery, but with 27 acres of cemetery land, clearly we cannot keep up with the standard of maintenance of the Cemeteries that we all would like to see.  We know this is disheartening to family members, just as it is to the Town personnel who take pride in keeping the Cemeteries well tended and a place of comfort and solace to family members.
