Cemetery Commission
There are eight cemeteries in the Town of West Fairlee, each steeped in the rich history of our town. The largest cemetery is located in West Fairlee Village. The oldest stone, dated 1790, rests in the Center Cemetery.
The seven other cemeteries that dot the countryside around the village are smaller. The Bloodbrook, Kidderhood, Krook, Middlebrook, Scruton Hill, West Fairlee Center and Wild Hill cemeteries all add to the history of this area.
The Cemetery Commission is responsible for administering and maintaining these cemeteries.

Annual Report for Calendar Year 2024
The Cemetery Commission sold one plot this year, and the Commissioners installed the cornerstones. We voted this year to revamp our regulations and plot prices, so please check out the Town website for the newest information.
We are still working diligently to add the burial information of our cemeteries to the website. This has been a daunting task, but we have made great progress, thanks to a joint effort of our entire commission. Lost burial records have been located, which has enabled us to make many corrections to our records. (tap headline to continue reading)
