The Wenham Cemetery Commission supervises the operation of and establishes the rules for all burial grounds in the Town of Wenham. The Wenham Cemetery Commission’s goal is to maintain traditional New England cemeteries which are peaceful burial grounds for the citizens of Wenham.
Extensive research has been conducted to determine and identify lots at our historic Main Street Cemetery that will be made available and sold to current Wenham residents. Through their findings, nine (9) cremation plots, and one (1) full-burial plots will be made available for sale.
- $650.00 for cremation
- $1,300.00 for full-burial
The sale of lots will be determined through an application and points-based system for Wenham Residents only.
