Overview

The Cemetery Section is responsible for the operation, maintenance and expansion of the town's cemeteries. The six cemeteries under town jurisdiction are: Fox Hill, North, South, Jacob Hill, Old North and the Rogers Family Tomb. Grave sites may only be purchased by town residents. At this time, graves are not sold pre-need. A recent expansion of the Fox Hill Cemetery provided 4,700 new graves.

The Parks & Trees Section is responsible for removing all dead trees on town property as well as those that are a danger to the public. Additional responsibilities include trimming and cutting back brush along town roadways. This section's duties also include maintaining facilities for the Recreation Department such as baseball and soccer fields.

Other areas maintained are the Town Common, Library, Town Hall, Police Station, Kids Konnection and 25 different squares located throughout the town. Other tasks include plowing snow, hanging banners, assisting other divisions, changing traffic light bulbs and emptying trash receptacles.

In addition, this division has taken on the task of treating the Town's catch basins with larvacide in an attempt to eradicate Culex Mosquitoes which are known to carry the West Nile Virus.
