Cemetery Commission

There are four cemeteries in the Town of Middlesex that are open to the public. Three cemeteries are maintained by the Town and the fourth is privately owned.

The Middlesex Cemetery Commission is responsible for the three town-maintained cemeteries:

1. Middlesex Village Cemetery on Gallagher Road
2. North Branch Cemetery on North Branch Cemetery Road (off Bolduc Road near Rt 12). This is the Town’s only active cemetery
3. Carr Cemetery on East Hill Road at the southern end of Bolduc Road. This cemetery is privately owned but the town handles certain routine maintenance.

The Commission oversees the care, maintenance, and administration of these cemeteries, including setting burial fees, hiring contractors, and ensuring compliance with state law (18 V.S.A. Chapter 121).

The Town’s three cemeteries are well documented on FindAGrave.com

The Middlesex Center Cemetery is a privately owned cemetery located on Center Road about 2 miles from Interstate 89. The cemetery was founded in 1812 by some of the earliest settlers in Middlesex, and is operated by the trustees and officers of the Middlesex Center Cemetery Association, a non-profit corporation. The cemetery offers lots for sale and conducts burials.

The Association holds an annual meeting in the spring upon the seasonal opening of the cemetery. Meetings are open to all lot owners. Please contact the President of the Association, Steve Martin, if you are interested in purchasing a lot, are a lot owner interested in attending a meeting, or if you have other questions about the cemetery. Rules and Regulations for the cemetery are also available to anyone upon request and are posted at the cemetery.
