Town cemetery plot sales had been handled by the accounting office ever since the Route 130 cemetery opened in the 1970s, but this summer the DPW took over. The department is working on digitizing years of paper files and plans to allow online transactions.The impetus for the transition was Maryann Scarpellini, the new DPW office manager who formerly worked in the accounting office and was in charge of cemetery sales there for eight years.“It was a logical move; we do a lot of work in that area and maintain the grounds,” said Paul S.

Plots are sold in consecutive order and accommodations can be made for single and family plots, according to town documents.“Other Cape towns in the surrounding area charge a lot more, but the cemetery commission—which is made up of a group of the selectmen—have wanted Sandwich to keep the cost low,” Ms. Scarpellini said.The cemetery, located across Route 130 from Heritage Plaza, may not be the oldest in town, but it has a lot of spirit.Although the rules governing the park forbid excessive plantings and decorations, families and friends of the interred place flowers and seasonal decorations on the graves.This spring bright summer roses, geraniums and impatiens covered many tombstones. People have added personal touches to ledges on grave markers, such as photographs of pets and small knick... (CapeNews.net)
