  • Belgrade Cemetery Report for 2022

Belgrade has four cemeteries: Ellis Cemetery, Quaker Cemetery, Pine Grove Cemetery and Woodside. Pine Grove Cemetery, located along Route 135 between Routes 27 and 8/11, is the only cemetery open for burials.   

Potable water for watering graves is available from all of Pine Grove Cemetery's spigots and from the spigot at the Old Town House. 

Belgrade residents can purchase perpetual care lots for $300 per plot through the Town Sexton. A lot consists of four or eight spaces. A single space can accommodate a single full burial or three burials involving cremains. Placement of annual flowers may be purchased for $100 per flower by contacting the sexton and filling out the appropriate form.

Non-residents can purchase a plot for $550 if they meet one of three conditions:

  • The non-resident must have been born in Belgrade.
  • The non-resident must have blood relatives either living in the community or buried in the cemetery.
  • The non-resident owns property and has paid property taxes in the Town for at least 20 years. 

Prior to assignment of a burial lot, non-residents or a legal representative must submit evidence of their bond to the community to the Selectboard for its review and approval.                                         

Full burials cost $600 on a weekday and $700 on a weekend or holiday. Cremation burials cost $200 on a weekday and $300 on a weekend or holiday. Prices, which voters approved on March 17, 2023, apply to residents and non-residents.  

Placement of items on gravesites is governed by a cemetery ordinance along with rules and regulations.
