New restrictions on Brentwood cemetery plots: During the April 9 Cemetery Trustees meeting, the Board moved to clarify that burial site purchases are typically restricted to Brentwood residents and their families. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #BrentwoodNH
The update to the Rules and Regulations was approved unanimously. This decision directly affects non-residents or families of non-residents who may have previously sought burial space within our town's cemeteries.
While the Board also addressed financial oversight—requesting clarification on land maintenance and retirement expenditures—the residency restriction is the most significant policy shift for the community to note. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/brentwood/cemetery-trustees/2026-04-09/
At the April 9 Cemetery Trustees meeting, the Board approved a significant update to the cemetery Rules and Regulations. The Trustees voted unanimously to state that burial site purchases are typically restricted to Brentwood residents and their families. This policy change limits access to local burial plots for non-residents or families of non-residents who may have otherwise sought space in Brentwood cemeteries. Residents should be aware of this shift in how cemetery access is managed. Additionally, the Board is exercising fiscal oversight by requesting clarification from the Superintendent regarding a $680 expenditure in land maintenance and specific expenditures within the NH Retirement account. The Trustees are also moving forward with updates on the South Road property and the Poor Farm Survey. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/brentwood/cemetery-trustees/2026-04-09/ #MeetingWatch #BrentwoodNH
