Sales of Lots, Burial Rights and Services
Cemetery lots are available for purchase at Pine Grove and Wright cemeteries. Please contact the Cemetery Division to schedule an appointment to view available gravesites and for information on costs and the funeral process.
Westford Cemetery Division now accepts credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AmEx). While you may require the assistance of Cemetery staff to purchase a cemetery lot or choose the correct services to purchase, the online credit card payment center can be accessed here.
Purchasing lots and services can also be made via cash or check (made out to the Town of Westford) at the Cemetery Division office at 68 Forge Village Road, Westford MA 01886 located at the rear of Pine Grove Cemetery with a staff member to help you.
Should you need a blank INTERMENT ORDER form, please click here. Westford Cemetery Division requires that an Interment Order be signed before any burial can take place.
Should you need a blank MONUMENT PERMIT APPLICATION, please click here. A monument company of your choice will use this permit to place a headstone on an owned lot (they will have this form, you don't have to bring it). A lot owner can work with any monument company they wish. The Cemetery Supervisor must approve the permit application sent in by the monument company before the work is completed. There is a $25 fee required to be paid either to the monument company (who will submit to the Cemetery Division with the permit) or paid directly to us, in a check made out to the Town of Westford.
For an Info Sheet on purchasing and caring for headstones (monuments), flat markers and veterans markers, please click here.
To request a Veterans Marker, please click here. Veterans markers may be requested after the death of a veteran. Markers are free from the US government for honorably discharged veterans and installed free by the Cemetery Division. [Note: Veterans who served after 1980 must have had 24 months of active duty to qualify; veterans with the National Guard or Reserves must have served a minimum of 20 years.]
The veteran's discharge paper (DD214) for proof of honorable discharge must be submitted with the request for a marker; should you need to request a military discharge record (DD214) please click here.
A veteran's family may also request a bronze-colored "folded flag" medallion to affix to a headstone to be submitted with the veterans marker request. To request a medallion please click here.
A veteran's family may also request a Presidential Certificate, suitable for framing, after the death of an honorably discharged veteran to be submitted with the veterans marker request. To request a certificate please click here.
Should you require assistance filling out the forms, please contact the Cemetery Division or the Veterans Services Department.

All Westford cemeteries are Perpetual Care cemeteries, which means 60% of the burial fee is set aside in a fund that ensures the maintenance of the gravesite in perpetuity. The Westford Cemetery Commission has unanimously voted in favor of establishing a new price structure effective December 1, 2021.
