Brighton Cemetery Commissioners’ Report
Another busy year has gone by. We were able to get some colored 4 x 4 posts put in to mark
off sections of the cemetery and now we need to record who is in each of these sections. This
will take much time to accomplish and if anyone is interested in this type of research, we
can use your help. Eventually, finding a loved one’s plot will be easier. We up-righted many
smaller headstones that were tipping over or that were already on the ground. Corner markers
were found and cleaned. Trying to find corner markers is a big issue and again, we would
appreciate the help of anyone to aid in finding and cleaning these grassed-over markers. Some
leaning trees were cut down and Staymat was put down on roads that needed fixing.

In March we will ask for bids that will include mowing the lawns with riding and/or push
mowers, cleaning up clippings, etc after every mowing and the spring cleanup.
Some Grant money has been approved, and we will be asking for funds from Town voters to
get work done that was neglected for so many years. Volunteers are very much appreciated for
as much time as they can donate. Please let us know if you have a few hours, days, or weeks
available to give us a hand.

There is a 3-year Cemetery Commissioner term opened… let Town Clerk know if interested in
this position.
