Mountain View Cemetery

Mountain View Cemetery is operated by the Town of Shrewsbury under the jurisdiction of the Parks and Cemetery Commission. Dating back to before the Town's incorporation, Mountain View Cemetery has a rich history and is the final resting place for many of the Town's prominent, historical residents. The Old Corner of Mountain View Cemetery (Sections 1-9) is part of Shrewsbury's Historic District and on the National Register of Historic Places. 

The Cemetery currently provides burial space for only residents of the Town of Shrewsbury.  In 2017, the Morey Chapel Columbarium was constructed and provides niche spaces to hold cremated remains. Niches are available for purchase by Town residents for their use, or use by immediate family members (parents or children).
