About Pine Grove Cemetery
Pine Grove Cemetery is a long-established historic cemetery in Charlton and is closely tied to early local settlement and family history. Historic references describe it as the “new cemetery” in contrast to the older Jeremiah Smith Cemetery, and the cemetery association dates to the mid-1800s.
This cemetery is especially important because it helps preserve the burial history of Charlton alongside other nearby cemeteries and has strong public-facing documentation including history pages, a cemetery map, and published association information.
Because older cemeteries experience long-term weather exposure, moisture, biological growth, and seasonal change, memorials can gradually lose readability or develop staining. That is why preservation-safe cleaning and respectful cemetery care are often important for families visiting Pine Grove Cemetery.
Cemetery Location, Map & Burial Research
Pine Grove Cemetery is located in Charlton and is managed by the Charlton Pine Grove Cemetery Association. The association provides a published cemetery map and rules and regulations to help families understand the layout and expectations for memorial work, decorations, lot use, and site activity.
