Description: private cemetery in south byfield massachusetts
Small. Intimate. Quiet. Peaceful. Community. These are just some of the words that have been used to describe the South Byfield Cemetery.
Founded in 1856, South Byfield Cemetery has a great history. Among a host of notable individuals and families, some acclaimed people with gravestones here include John Odgen and Judge William Moody. We are also very proud of the fact that 368 veterans rest here today. But the history we are most proud of is the generations of local families who reside here.
This is a unique place for many reasons, primarily due to the fact that this is a private cemetery. In essence South Byfield is “for the community, run by the community.” Unlike a municipal property, this is a place and a community that prides itself on being responsive, attentive, and caring. All of those who oversee the cemetery, call this home, and will be residing here eternally.
