Cemetery & Trustees

The Phippsburg Cemetery District Trustees have reluctantly voted to raise the lot fees for Morningside Cemetery.  We have not raised our rates since 2014!  Maintenance and support costs are climbing, and we found that our lot fees are substantially lower than surrounding cemeteries. So, we have made the decision to increase our rates, but to also delay those increases. The new increases will take effect on January 1, 2025.

Below are our new rates:

Residential                $600 (currently $400 per lot)

Cremains Lot             $250 (currently $150 per lot)

Nonresidential          $1200 (currently $800 per lot)

Cremains Lot            $500 (currently $300 per lot)

If you would like to take advantage of the (currently) lower rates, please contact Ken Kellogg (207) 798-2423.

Morningside Cemetery is the Town's municipal cemetery and is located just off the Parker Head Road in a tranquil spot adjoining a tidal cove.
The recent expansion has more than doubled the capacity of the earlier section.
