Burial Plots & Chapel

Burial Plots:

Burial plots are available at Waterside Cemetery and niches in the Chapel to any Marblehead resident taxpayer, ownership being non-transferable.

The Cemetery Department adopted a set of Rules and Regulations in 1945 which has been periodically updated.  All changes are carefully thought through by the Cemetery Board of Commissioners.  Rules are in place, not only for your safety, but to keep our cemetery in a condition that is respectful and comforting to everyone.  A description of these rules is also available from the Waterside Cemetery office which is open from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Maintenance:

Lot owners are asked to remove personal property from lots twice a year for clean-up of the cemetery. Clean-ups are done dependent on the weather but generally in March and October.

Chapel:

The Dr. Arland A. Dirlam Chapel, a non-denominational chapel holding approximately 75 people, is located in Waterside Cemetery.  There is a $200 fee for the use of the Chapel.
