Plymouth commission asks staff to research cemetery rate changes
Summary
The commission debated whether to leave cemetery rates unchanged from 2020 or raise them; Superintendent Diane Maguire will consult the DPW director and survey neighboring cemeteries before recommending changes.
The Plymouth Cemetery Commission discussed whether to increase burial and lot rates, which have not been updated since 2020.
Commission members weighed keeping rates unchanged against potential increases to reflect current costs. The minutes record that Cemetery & Crematory Superintendent Diane Maguire will consult the town Department of Public Works director and research rates at surrounding area cemeteries to provide comparative data before the commission considers any change.
No vote or new rate schedule was approved at the May 20 meeting. The commission directed staff to return with findings for a future meeting so members can consider a formal rate proposal.
The minutes do not specify a timeline for receiving the comparative information or whether the research will include specific fee categories (for example, opening/closing, lot sales, or perpetual care).
