Every day, families come to Puritan Lawn to visit loved ones who have been laid to rest. Many have come to reminisce, connect with the past, or to just spend time in the presence of their friend or loved one no longer with them. We also regularly see family or friends who were not able to say a final goodbye at the funeral service come by at a later time and say their goodbyes or to express important things that may have previously been unsaid. 

Many tell us that these visits to our beautiful 140 acre grounds in Peabody bring an unexpected amount of comfort and closure. There’s healing that takes place – a sense of moving on in life while carrying meaningful memories with you.

We cannot overstate the importance of the location of a final resting place. After all, this is the place where future generations will visit. This is where they will sit to mourn, remember, and celebrate the life that once was.

Whether you choose traditional burial or cremation, we encourage selecting your own final resting place ahead of time. You want to be sure the location is comfortable, beautiful, convenient, well taken care of and enduring. Because Puritan Lawn offers distinctive selections, you also want to be sure that your choice is a perfect fit for your needs and wishes.

Consider these options:

Individual GROUND BURIAL LOTS

Single lots provide space for individuals to be interred in a space of their own. Our cemetery provides for traditional casket arrangements or cremation and allow for custom designed memorials flush with the ground. Burial space is available in our newer developments as well as in our historic sections.

COMPANION GROUND BURIAL LOTS

Companion lots provide space for two individuals or multiple cremated remains. These lots allow for a central memorial which represents the special relationship shared. Burial space is available in our newer developments as well as in our historic sections.

ESTATE GROUND BURIAL LOTS

Estate lots provide space for those who want to accommodate several family generations in one area of the cemetery. Spaces are uniquely landscaped.

HISTORIC GROUND BURIAL LOTS

Often, families want a burial spot that is close in proximity to a family member’s final resting place. Our family service associates can assist with selecting a burial space in one of our beautiful “family only” sections.

dEDICATED CREMATION AREAS

We have a variety of dedicated cremation areas on our beautiful grounds, both outdoor and indoor. Our indoor glass front niche area offers a comfortable setting for visitation in every season and protection from the weather. The indoor glass-front niches allow for personal tributes and pictures to be viewed in perpetuity, while the outdoor granite front niches allow for personalized memorials including sandblasted emblems.

Below are a few of the many options we have made available to families to meet the growing interest in cremation.

• Dedicated ground spaces are available with personalized bronze memorials.
