Evergreen Cemetery Master Plan

BSC prepared a detailed master plan for the City of Marlborough’s 68-acre Evergreen Cemetery. The plan provides guidance for 200 years of use, organized in 20-year increments. Based on projected demand for grave and niche space, fee structures, and various site constraints, preliminary-level design drawings were prepared for the entire cemetery. Consideration was also given to sensitive resource areas, as well as on-site and regional stormwater best management practices.

The plan includes updates to the 1943 Rules and Regulations, developed in partnership with Cemetery Helpful Services, bringing cemetery operations and records into compliance with current standards. The project has since progressed to Phase 2, which includes new features such as a monumental niche wall, a service members memorial at the entry circle, an overlook with sweeping views of the site, and expanded burial and memorial options.
