Select Board approves $1,200 repair of damaged headstones at Friends North Cemetery
Summary
The board approved Cornerstone Cemetery Services’ estimate of $1,200 to repair five broken and one leaning headstone at Friends North on Quaker Street, to be paid from the cemetery (Cypria) account; the vendor estimate is valid through 2026 and carries a five-year workmanship guarantee (excludes vandalism).
The Select Board reviewed a vendor estimate from Cornerstone Cemetery Services (estimate #2609 dated 07/17/2026) to repair five broken and one leaning headstone at Friends North on Quaker Street. Staff said the highway department had removed a fallen tree that had caused the damage and the vendor’s estimate—$1,200—was good through 2026.
A motion to approve the estimate and fund the work from the cemetery (Cypria) account passed. The vendor’s quote included a five-year workmanship and materials guarantee but excluded damage from vandalism; board members asked staff to sign the estimate so the work would be scheduled in the vendor’s queue.
