In celebration of the Nation’s 250th anniversary, members of the OHCC trimmed shrubbery and cleaned the Owls Head Veterans Memorial today. Before and after photos below.

Memorial Day, 2026
Owls Head has 7 known gravesites for Revolutionary War veterans. This year, our country’s semiquincentennial, we honor them in particular for their service. The memorial in the photo, located in the Village Green, was created for the bicentennial.

In total there 194 veterans buried in Town and all have veteran flag holders/medallions which stay up year round. The flags however are only put out for a week at a time, for Memorial Day and for Veterans Day.

Flags are out in our Town Cemeteries to honor veterans this Memorial Day. The photo shows the Cooper Cemetery.

Be in touch with any cemetery related questions or concerns.
Note: We are aware that the grass in our cemeteries is getting long - our Town Administrator is trying to find someone to mow all Town properties.

Cemetery Decorations - Please note that it is the responsibility of the lot owner/family to remove graveside decorations in a timely manner. Owls Head cemeteries have a carry in, carry out policy - there are NO trash receptacles in the cemeteries. Old, faded and/or broken decorations and floral arrangements must be removed immediately to aid mowing and w**d whacking.

If anyone would like to VOLUNTEER to clean up Ash Point, Owls Head, Evergreen, Ingraham or MacPhail cemeteries please let us know: [email protected]

Thank you for helping us keep our cemeteries looking respectful.

Two gentle reminders:
1) PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE into our cemeteries during mud season. Someone recently drove around the Owls Head Cemetery and created ruts and nearly drove through several plots.

2) Grave DECORATIONS must be removed by whomever placed them. Fall/Christmas decorations must be removed asap. There are no trash barrels and dumping them anywhere nearby is not permitted (including plants and/or dirt). If old/faded decorations are not removed they will inhibit mowing and w**d whacking.

We are grateful for your help keeping our cemeteries beautiful and respectful.

The most recent issue of the Mussel Ridge Historical Society newsletter has 2 cemetery related articles. One is about the iron archway at the Ash Point Cemetery, and the other is about the OHCC‘a success applying for 2 LONG overdue veteran headstones:

PLEASE carry out all trash from our cemeteries.

Decorations are the responsibility of the person/family placing them and although we politely remind folks to remove them in October and January, few do. Today the Cemetery Committee picked up all of the trash & decorations - 5 huge bags in total! We also removed the trash barrels because they were being improperly used.

We hope anyone visiting our cemeteries will help us keep them clean & beautiful.

It’s been a multi-year project but we now have signs in every Town cemetery as well as several guide signs for cemeteries that are not easy to find.

Folks, please do not walk your dogs in our cemeteries. It was recently noticed that someone is leaving “doggie bags” (not the good kind) in the Ash Point Cemetery.
