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.
