4-8-2024

Due to the wet spring weather, our cemetery avenues are very susceptible to damage from motor vehicles. Please do not drive into the cemeteries until the avenues open in May. If avenues become rutted, this may result in an extended closure to motor vehicles while repair work fixes the issue. Thank you for your help in keeping our cemeteries accessible for all.

The Town of Warren has contracted with Thomas A. Stevens Cemetery Memorials company to clean, repair and reset gravestones/monuments within it's town-maintained cemeteries. The work will resume in the spring of 2024 starting in the Stirling and Sawyer Cemeteries. Please contact the Town Sexton in writing if you do not want to have this work done on your plot.
