Cemetery Commission

The Barrington Cemetery Commission was established in January 1909 when Frederick S. Peck, a Barrington State Legislator and prominent citizen, gave the Town of Barrington a $10,000.00 endowment with the proviso that the citizens would elect three Commissioners, one each year for a three-year term, to have all management and control of Barrington Town Cemeteries. Since that time, no Town taxes have been raised or allocated for the care and maintenance of Barrington's six cemeteries.

Per the Town Charter, the Commissioners of Cemeteries and Burial Grounds have full control and management of all cemeteries and burial grounds belonging to the Town or in which the Town has any interest. The Commission has the right to sell and dispose of burial lots belonging to the Town and any interest of the Town in any burial lots in the cemeteries and burial grounds for such price, and under such terms, restrictions, rules and regulations, as they shall adopt.

Find more information about each cemetery below.

For more information, see the Town Charter, Title 16, Chapter 1.
