Honoring lives since 1873
GREAT News!
If you have visited Grove Cemetery recently, you may have noticed headstones marked with numbered stakes and caution tape. Sadly, time has taken its toll on headstones that are more than 100 years old, but fear not, for Grove Cemetery is embarking on a multi-year headstone repair project with the New York State Division of Cemeteries (NYSDOC) to repair those headstones. The project started in Oct of 2025 when we selected 50 headstones for repair and applied for a grant from NYSDOC. That project will cost $61,415.00 and hopefully be approved by June of 2026 and finished by July – Aug of 2026.
We have already begun round #2 by selecting 50 more headstones for repair and are in the process of writing a new grant proposal for those repairs. So, you will continue to see more caution tapes and stakes identifying headstones for repair until all the headstones have been repaired. Know that we are working hard to keep Grove Cemetery beautiful and a cemetery you can be proud of.
