City attempting to address limited plots available at Pioneer Cemetery
As space is running out at Pioneer Cemetery, the Graham City Council adopted a first reading of an ordinance amendment this week to extend a prohibition on curbing for graves to the newest section of the cemetery.
The Graham City Council met Thursday, March 14 to discuss a major issue at Pioneer Cemetery, the shrinking number of purchasable plots for the remaining sections, I and J.
“Pioneer Cemetery is running out of room. We are down to about 215 available spaces in the cemetery,” City Manager Eric Garretty said. “In a normal year we sell 20-30 spaces.”
