The Terrace Cemetery was established in the 1800’s and it employs one full-time employee and additional seasonal employees through the summer months to ensure the operations of the office and maintenance of the grounds. 

Cemetery Cost

The purchase price for each lot / rite is $600.

A recording fee of $25 is required for every deed.

There are twelve lots / rites to a plot. They can be purchased individually or by lots. If you are purchasing more than 1 lot / rite, then a payment plan may be arranged, but will require a deposit of $200.

Once the payment plan is initiated, then a payment will be required each month until the lot/rite is paid in full. The deed will then be issued after the purchase price has been paid in full.

You can inquire more information at City Hall.

Individual Responsibilities

• No concrete or rockwork can begin until the lot / rite is fully paid and a deed is issued.
• A permit must be obtained from the city before any concrete work is performed or a headstone is placed.
• No trees or shrubs shall be planted by an individual; the City may remove any volunteer trees and shrubs
