At the May 6, 2026 meeting, Town of Concord cemetery staff gave an operations report summarizing April activity and upcoming planning steps.
Staff reported four full interments, four interments with cremated remains and two single graves sold during April. The report said the town meeting approved $850,000 for cemetery expansion and that staff will work with the town’s engineering department to establish start dates for the project.
