Easton committee weighs ground-penetrating radar for Lyon Cemetery, seeks clarity on Aquarion and Den Cemetery ownership
Summary
The committee discussed using ground-penetrating radar to map graves at Lyon Cemetery and asked for updates on property ownership and status from Aquarion and Den Cemetery, the minutes show.
The Easton Cemetery Committee discussed commissioning ground-penetrating radar (GPR) at Lyon Cemetery to develop an accurate map of grave sites to share with the town should future road work be required, the minutes submitted by Joan Kirk say.
Committee members asked for a status update from Gary and raised questions about property ownership and responsibilities involving Aquarion and Den Cemetery, which the minutes list as owners of relevant parcels. The minutes do not include further detail about any legal agreements, easements, or next steps for securing access or approvals.
The committee logged the GPR idea as a planning item to better identify burial locations and to provide the town with information in the event of infrastructure work near cemetery grounds. The minutes do not record a vote or an approved contract; they record only discussion and a request for further information.
The committee also noted that a garden club member had expressed interest in joining and helping with plantings at cemetery sites, an item the committee may address at a later meeting.
