Welcome to The Cremation Garden

Our cemetery is not only a historic place, but also the sacred resting place for our community’s recently deceased, regardless of faith or denomination.  North Burial Ground is open every day of the year as a safe and available location for family and friends grieving the loss of their loved ones. Our cemetery is a place of healing and rest. With a rolling hill and wonderful views of Bristol Harbor, North Burial Ground conveys a wonderful sense of rest and serenity.

In response to a spectrum of concerns including land stewardship, family economics, and ecological sensitivity, in addition to a national trend toward cremations, the Commissioners of the Cemeteries had the vision to create The Cremation Garden at North Burial Ground. The Cremation Garden, surrounding Peters Pond, is an outstanding example of where the historic meets the present day.

For the mutual protection and benefit of lot owners, and the Cemetery, the following Rules and Regulations have been adopted as the Rules and Regulations of the Town of Bristol, North Burial Grounds.  Read here.
