Key Takeaways from the Cemetery Commission Meeting, April 11

The Commission is suggesting changes to the Cemetery bylaws to be voted on during the May Town Meeting. One will change a bylaw from "residents" to "taxpayers" may be buried in cemetery. Concern was raised at a previous meeting that the change in the bylaw is increasing the number of people eligible to be buried in Stockbridge cemetery at a time when the cemetery is running out of space. Another bylaw change would decrease the number of people on the Commission from 9 — 5 — the number who have a voice in proposing these decisions.
