     At historic Grove Cemetery we celebrate lives. Continuing a 144 year tradition, we serve the community with dignified interments and assist in the customization of bronze memorials that are a tribute to your loved ones and what brought them joy in their lives. Historical Highlights The first meeting to establish a cemetery in New Brighton was held on July 12, 1858. A charter was drawn up under the name "Grove Cemetery" and the cemetery was incorporated on March 19, 1859.

     It was a warm October 13th in 1859 when 250 people attended the dedication of Grove Cemetery. After the formal proceedings, guests had the opportunity to purchase interment spaces for themselves and their loved ones. Forty lots were sold.

     In April 1862, a committee was appointed to raise funds for a monument to the memory of Beaver County soldiers who gave their lives in the Civil War. The committee was discharged in 1874 because not enough funds could be raised. The monument plans were rekindled in 1883. Today the Civil War monument stands proudly, flanked by four canons, honoring the lives of the soldiers who were buried near the battlefields where they met their deaths.

    At Grove Cemetery, We Celebrate Lives. 15,516 persons are interred in this peaceful final resting place. Are you a descendant of one or several of them? Please contact us and we will enter your name, address and telephone number in our Family Registry.

To us, all of Grove Cemetery is hallowed ground and prices for interment spaces are the same in all locations. Our prices also remain the same - whether you purchase an interment space needed for a loved one now or want to have peace of mind knowing that you have selected the space of your choice for the future.

For the time being, and to enable us to catch up, we are taking care of family research requests by appointment only. There is a modest fee for these services which include a summary of the entries in our records, copies of index cards, overview maps and map segments, and escorting visitors to the graves of their ancestors that may be unmarked.

Our Mission Statement To serve the community by providing dignified interments and customized bronze memorials while preserving the natural beauty of Grove Cemetery.

Maintaining Grove Cemetery in Harmony with Nature Grove Cemetery is a member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System and we plan to plant new trees that will provide shelter and bear seeds, fruit and nuts for our wildlife.

Grants and the Annual Sustaining Fund Grove Cemetery receives no federal, state or local government funding. The Grove Cemetery Annual Sustaining Fund is ongoing.

While space limitations at some cemeteries in the United States and abroad dictate that buyers of cemetery lots are granted only the "right to burial" permitting removal and future resale to others, you still receive a deed to your lot at Grove Cemetery.
