The 33 acres of The Edgewood Cemetery provides a scenic and tranquil resting place for families from all religious backgrounds and all walks of life. With over 100 years of service to the community we are ready to offer assistance to bereaved families in a thoughtful and caring way.
Whether a cremation lot or a more traditional grave space most lots now available will allow for a monument. Cremation lots will allow either a monument or a flat marker. Each full grave space purchased allows a flat marker and on lots of 2 graves or more a monument is also allowed.
Flowers may be planted and most lots also allow shrubs. Annual flowers are grown in our own greenhouses for Memorial Day planting. Plants for the cemetery may be purchased or we can plant them for you. “Flower bonds” may be purchased which provide for Memorial Day planting in perpetuity. Contact the cemetery office for more information.
In 1893 an act of the New Hampshire Legislature was passed creating a 10 member Board of Trustees to oversee The Edgewood Cemetery. In 2010 new legislation was enacted that added the Suburban Cemeteries to the care of The Edgewood Cemetery Trustees. The trustees have sole care of the Edgewood and Suburban Cemeteries and hire a superintendent to tend to the daily operations.
