Beaver Cemetery History

One of the oldest cemeteries in town, located in what is called “Beaver” in East Bridgewater, MA. The land was donated by the original families who lived in “Beaver” and unlike other cemeteries, is now owned by each lot owner and their family. When the cemetery was started each family took care of their own lots, but as years have gone by fewer and fewer families had taken on this responsibility and as a result the Trustees (board of lot owners) took over the job of maintenance and preservation of the cemetery. For over 100 years now the Proprietors have raised money through the Ladies Auxiliary, yard sales, fundraisers, and the sale of grave lots to support the General and Perpetual Care Funds. Today, families of loved ones in the cemetery continue to work together to maintain the preservation and history of Beaver Cemetery.

Lots for sale:

We currently have over 200 graves available for sale at $1,250 each. Grave lots are for both full burial and cremations. Each lot is allowed either one (1) full burial or four (4) cremations. A vault is necessary for cremations. Available Lots can be viewed on attached map. Please contact our office email address for more information. beavercemetery@gmail.com

    In Memory of Paul Carlson

    May 3, 1941 - May 17, 2022

    We want to take this time to acknowledge Paul Carlson for all the work and many hours he put into the care of Beaver Cemetery.  It is only through people such as Paul that we were able to achieve our non-profit status for the cemetery.  Paul put in many hours to have Beaver Cemetery registered as non-profit and we certainly appreciate all he did to get this established as well as all the years he served on the board. 


    DONATIONS CAN NOW BE MADE ON THIS SITE! 


    All friends and family of Beaver Cemetery can now make donations directly to Beaver Cemetery by clicking the "Donation Button" below.  All donations are made directly into the Beaver Cemetery Account at Bluestone Bank in East Bridgewater, MA.   The cemetery needs a stone wall to be replaced, and the lawn mowed and trimmed during the good weather.  All donations are tax deductible.  We greatly appreciate any donation, small or large to enable the members to keep this cemetery presentable.  


    Thank you for your continued help and support!
