Where do the funds to maintain the Town

For the most part, the funding comes from the price residents pay for a grave. The price for each grave ($551 as of 2010) sold by the Town has three components: $137.50 is for the land itself, $1 is for recording the deed to that land, and the balance – $412.50 or 75% of the total charged – goes toward the perpetual care of the Town’s Cemeteries.
