Gordons ask trustees for clarity on cremation-lot markers at Turnpike Cemetery
Summary
Kevin and Madeleine Gordon requested guidance about corner markers and allowed monument size for their cremation lot in Turnpike Cemetery; trustees agreed to stake out the plot after the ground thaws and the Gordons intend to consult Peterborough Marble and Granite Works about marker options.
Kevin and Madeleine Gordon attended the Francestown Cemetery Board meeting on March 17, 2026, to ask about corner markers and the size and type of monument permitted on a cremation lot they purchased in the northern section of Turnpike Cemetery. The trustees said they will stake out the plot after the ground thaws to clarify boundaries and available space.
The Gordons said they planned to consult Peterborough Marble and Granite Works about markers and monuments. The trustees noted that the sexton, Daniel Keaveny, will assist with staking and with any required probing of adjacent plots this spring to confirm whether a full burial could be accommodated where questions about space exist.
