City of Brooksville recently issued the following announcement.
During the March 21, 2022, Brooksville City Council Meeting, the City Council approved amending the Brooksville Cemetery Rules and Fees.
The Resolution amendments include changes to the rule that prohibits the painting of vault lids to include prohibition of wraps, tarps, vinyl coverings or decorative coverings of any type. Other additions to the rules require contractors performing excavating and closing of graves in the green burial section to be done by a licensed contractor and vaults must be of concrete construction, no fiberglass or other material will be allowed. The Resolution also approved fee increases for full-body burials to $1,000 for residents and $2,000 for non-residents and cremations to $900 for resident or non-resident.
The cemetery is currently in need of a plethora of upgrades and in time, the additional funding will be used to repair the mausoleum roof, purchase security cameras, change from septic to City sewer, upgrade cemetery software, removal of trees and/or tree limbs, irrigation and electrical upgrades as well as development of the Norwest portion of the cemetery.
“The Brooksville Cemetery is significant to the citizens of Brooksville,” stated City Manager, Ron Snowberger, “in order to continue to manage the Cemetery in a responsible manner, fee increases were inevitable. It’s important that our residents be able to be buried in the community that they helped to build.”
