As a charity, we will always be dependent upon our Volunteers and our Contributors. We provide assistance to the 33 cemeteries in our community. Despite appearances, and any story to the contrary, every cemetery needs the help and support that this charity can provide. Please help us help them.
The need for help with our cemeteries was never more obvious as when this group formed. We acted, and our actions were embraced by all who have seen our work. We aim to keep on helping. Middleborough's "Cemeteries with Associations" face the dual financial problems of close to zero percent interest rates and an increase in cremation resulting in a decrease in burials. Some of Middleborough's cemeteries without associations once appeared to be abandoned. People visit cemeteries and have reasonable expectations, regardless of ownership. Grass should be mowed. Stones should be standing. Trees should not endanger headstones. Names should be known and knowable. This is how we honor whose who are buried within our cemeteries. Cemeteries will always have needs, and our primary purpose is to preserve, maintain, and restore the cemeteries. Become a Volunteer or a Contributor of the FoMC. Enable our cemeteries to reflect the character of the people of Middleborough today.
