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.

West Fairlee Find-A-Grave Project

The West Fairlee Cemetery Commission has conducted a multi-year survey of the eight cemeteries located in town. The results of that survey, divided into eight directories, are now available for researchers looking for burial sites of past residents. Volunteer efforts have led to the creation of a map for each cemetery. Those looking for an individual's or family's gravesite in West Fairlee can peruse the directories to find the family or person's name, then refer to the map for that cemetery to find the gravesite location.
