The general practice will be not to sell grave lots to non-residents. However, all requests for the purchase of grave lots by non- residents, will be subject to the decision of the Cemetery Trustees and the Sexton.
If such sales are made, they will be limited only to those people who were born in Charlestown, showing proof i.e. Birth Certificate, School Diploma, or at one time were residents of Charlestown, for at least ten years. Sales will be limited to not more than two lots per family.
No reservations for lots will be made until payment is received in full.
