NEW MEMORIAL GARDEN

 

Date: MONDAY, DEC. 4TH 2023 AT 11 A.M.

 

The new Franklin Cemetery Memorial

Garden is completed and ready for use.

Located on the old “Potter’s Field” portion

of the cemetery behind the work shed in

the middle of the cemetery, it is ready to

receive ashes for scattering in the Garden.

 

We are very pleased with the results of this

new addition to the Cemetery to enlarge

the options for burials. There are 11

(eleven) niches in the retaining walls of the

 Garden for ashes placement with a bronze

sealing plague for $5,000. All other burials

in the Garden will be scattered amongst

the ground-cover and mixed into the soil.

 Scattered burials in the Garden are $1750

per person for space in the Garden and

$100 at the time of scattering. Designation

 of persons buried in the Garden will be on a

 2”x7” cast bronze plaque with the person’s

name and dates, attached permanently to

the retaining walls of the Garden at $150.

 

Use of the Memorial Garden can be

arranged by contacting Steve Bancroft,

the Cemetery Administrator, at

 franklincemetery@outlook.com.

Incredible scenery at every turn, and the

 relaxing, therapeutic smell of flowers in

our garden make our cemetery a popular

destination for people to walk, sit, have

lunch or just relax or meditate.  See our

photos below to view our beautiful burial

grounds.
