Cremation Burial
Cremation continues to rise in popularity as an alternative to traditional burial, and many families we serve at Walnut Grove have made this choice. We handle cremated remains with the utmost care and respect and provide several options for interment.
- Cremation Lots – Accommodate 1 urn
- Traditional Lots – Accommodate up to 4 urns placed on top of casket
Due to increased demand, a finite supply and our commitment to the Town of Danvers and its citizens, effective August 1, 2022, the Board of Trustees at Walnut Grove only allows the sale of cremation burial lots to current Danvers residents or former Danvers residents with permission.
A current Danvers resident is defined as someone presently living in Danvers, MA for the last consecutive 12 months.
A former Danvers resident with permission must meet the following requirement: the deceased must be a former resident of Danvers for no less than five years (regardless of the number of years living outside of Danvers, MA).
A residency exception can be made if the deceased has immediate family interred at Walnut Grove Cemetery, including a mother, father, brother or sister. A request must be accompanied by a letter, signed by the next of kin and notarized, requesting burial at Walnut Grove Cemetery with the years of residency and the former Danvers, MA address of the deceased provided. The Board of Trustees has the right to make the final decision on former residency requests.
For any questions, please contact the office at 978-774-1024.
Walnut Grove now offers the option to inter urns above ground in a niche in one of our Columbarium Gardens.
