CREATING NEW GARDENS AND FEATURES

The Staff has been hard at work cleaning sodding and improving the grounds. We also installed a mausoleum foundation and have been winterizing the pond, wrapping and protecting trees from the winter weather and preparing our equipment for snow. We want our families to feel safe and cared for.

NEW ENGLAND CONFERENCE

The New England Cemetery Conference was held in Sturbridge MA. There were great speakers and vendors who updated the group on the latest trends in the cemetery profession.

HONORING LOVED ONES DURING HOLIDAYS

During the holidays, The Gardens Cemetery wants to honor and care for your loved ones in the most respectful manner. Wreaths or any special remembrance is welcomed.

STAFF APPRECIATION

Appreciating staff is a top priority of The Gardens Cemetery! Sharing a meal or a simple thank you go a long way.

RAILINGS AT THE HOLY RESURRECTION CHAPEL

Our new railings have arrived and were installed last week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday Eunice! Thank you for your loving and compassionate care to The Garden's Families. We hope you had a great day!

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

The Garden's Cemetery has the privilege of being a member and giving back to the community through various civic associations. The Kiwanis held their 30th Annual Yankee Swap at The YMCA. A great holiday tradition.

HISTORY BUFFS

For all you history buffs, a visit to a cemetery can tell you a lot about the past. The Granary Burying Ground in Beacon Hill dating back to revolutionary war or Kings Chapel Burial Grounds on Park Street are rich with history. Below is a cemetery beside the Publick House in Sturbridge.

BREAKING BREAD

We are so grateful to get to know our families. There is no better way than breaking bread and enjoying great conversation.

COFFEE, SCONES AND CONVERSATION

Lorne from AllGreen stopped by to enjoy some Holiday Cheer and bring delicious scones.

TABLE TALK PIE PRESENTATION

Thank you to all our volunteers who helped with the Thanksgiving Pie Give-a-way. It was a great time meeting our Gardens Families and have an opportunity to reconnect.
