Cemetery Commission

Mission Statement:
The Cemetery Commissions's Mission is to provide:

  • adequate space for the town’s burial needs;
  • maintenance in perpetuity of the grounds and monuments in all four of the town’s cemeteries;
  • regulations that promote good order and respectful conduct;
  • accurate records of those buried there; and,
  • reliable assistance to Lincoln families in the burial of their dead.


Cemetery Commission Members, 2009-2010: Susan Harding, Chair; Manley Boyce; Julia Pugh

The Cemetery Commission oversees four cemeteries.  The Precinct Burial Ground is the oldest of these, located in the southeast corner of the Lexington Road Cemetery.  The Town Hill Cemetery, formerly known as the Meeting House Burial Ground, is located behind Bemis Hall.  The Arborvitae Cemetery is located at the corner of Trapelo and Lexington Roads.  Further down Lexington Road, the non-sectarian Lincoln Cemetery offers lots for purchase by Lincoln residents only.  All the Lincoln cemeteries are open to the public for respectful use during daylight hours.

Inquiries concerning lot purchases or burial arrangements should be directed to the Cemetery Agent:

Lincoln's cemeteries represent the care and attention of many people over many generations. We treasure their tranquility, so please tread lightly and honor the dead. The Lincoln Police regularly patrol the grounds.
