Glenwood Cemetery Master Plan

BSC prepared a detailed master plan for Glenwood Cemetery in Everett, a 130-year-old, 21-acre cemetery. At the commencement of the project, the cemetery had no available grave space and limited open land for expansion. The master plan included GIS analysis, complete aerial topographic mapping of the site, and documentation of existing burial areas. This information was then used to develop a comprehensive plan for organizing the existing cemetery property and converting pathways into new pre-crypt grave spaces.

The master plan also included an arboretum inventory and expansion plan; an assessment of public memorials; evaluations of entrances, driveways, fences, and walls; an assessment of existing buildings and future space needs; and the creation of a walking tour highlighting notable individuals interred within the cemetery. Additional components included updates to the Rules and Regulations, fee structures, and related cemetery documents.
