Millinocket Cemetery

1 Seasonal 25 weeks 40 hrs 1 Seasonal 13 weeks hrs 2 Summer Help 13 weeks 40 hrs 1 Cemetery Sexton - Director

The Cemetery Committee consists of 5 Members for a 5-year period. Refer to the Town’s Web Site for more Information on the Cemetery Rules and Regulations

 The Millinocket Cemetery is 25 Acres in size with over 16,000 grave lots.  Spring burials are started in the second week of May which is very busy doing burials and getting the grass mowed and trimmed before Memorial Day. Typically the Cemetery is mowed twice during that short window of time along with doing burials in between.

 The Public Works Director schedules in the upcoming burials in the spring that get called in before the weather will allow the Cemetery crew to be able to do the burials.  On an average, there are burials every summer. Public Works will assist if the backhoe is needed for a full grave. A lot of graves are dug by hand if the machine can’t get into that area easily.

 Weekend burials occur which then we have to change the manpower around to accommodate the burial due to the budget not allowing overtime. We do not do burials on Sundays or Holidays.  After the Crew is done for the season or the end of October, Public Works will handle all the burials from then until the last of November. Then the Cemetery is closed for the winter.
