Reading commissioners advance draft bylaws to allow "Green" and "Natural" burials
Summary
The Commission reviewed a draft of revised Cemetery Bylaws that would add two burial types—'Green' and 'Natural'—and agreed to incorporate comments before seeking Selectboard, Town Clerk and public review.
Chair Adam Kozlowski presented a revised draft of Reading's Cemetery Bylaws at the May 6 meeting that would establish two new burial categories: 'Green' burials (a variant of full burial in maintained sections) and 'Natural' burials (a new unmaintained section of New Amsden where burials would occur without chemicals or caskets).
Commissioner Susan Goodhouse and Kozlowski discussed changes and agreed that commissioners' comments will be incorporated. The plan is to refer the draft to the Selectboard and the Town Clerk and then solicit public feedback before final adoption, so no bylaw changes are final at this stage.
