Select Board reviews cemetery mapping tool and sets fall town‑meeting dates
Summary
The board reviewed a new cemetery mapping system with QR codes that allows users to locate graves and walking routes across Wareham cemeteries (Longneck, Sander, Agawam); it also set the fall 2026 town meeting for Oct. 26 and the warrant deadline for Sept. 14.
The Select Board discussed a new cemetery mapping system and agreed informational signage with QR codes will be installed at town cemeteries. The mapping product, which the clerk said cost approximately $1,500–$1,600, lets users search burial locations and provides walking paths; municipal maintenance and the cemetery commissioners provided the information and a demonstration.
