Beech Grove Cemetery in Westport, Massachusetts - Find a Grave Cemetery
The Town of Westport has responsibility for the care and maintenance of the three town-owned cemeteries in the community: Beech Grove on Main Road, Linden Grove and Maple Grove including the Mosher Cemetery, on Reed Road. The Westport Point Cemetery on Main Road is also regarded as a town cemetery. The Town provides maintenance for private cemeteries for which perpetual care funds were purchased in the past. These cemeteries are mainly on independent lots, but some are part of the property of individual private owners. As of February 2022, there are 35 such private cemeteries receiving maintenance services from the town of Westport Cemetery Department.
Beginning in August 2019, training was given to volunteers to clean stones. In May 2021, Town Meeting awarded CPA funds for gravestone restoration at town-owned cemeteries. In July a renowned gravestone repair expert, Jonathan Appell, conducted two two-day intensive training sessions. Six volunteers attended these sessions and have been repairing stones since that time. The Westport Gravestone Cleaning and Restoration Group was formed to do the cleaning and restoration. In addition, private funding was raised under the auspices of the Westport Historical Society to buy equipment and supplies to clean and restore stones in some of the accessible private cemeteries. Ted Kinnari, President of D/2Biological Solutions donates all the D/2 to clean the stones in town and private cemeteries.
