Funeral Rules

  • Only 1 "New Single Grave" or "New 2 Grave" burial per day

  • 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.
