cemeteries of berkely, mass.
We will update this page with photos and a map as time allows. We also have a book for sale in our gift shop which details the inscriptions on the graves of the Berkley Cemeteries. We will also share some fascinating stories related to some of our gravestones! We wish to thank Cemetery Commissioner George Maitozo for his invaluable help with this project.
