Cemeteries

Durham Friends Meeting has care of three cemeteries: ,

The links to these cemeteries are to their Findagrave.com listings, which provide relatively up-to-date listings of those interred in each. Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick also provides online records and maps of the burials in them for Lunt and Jones Cemeteries, compiled by Donald and Mark Cheetham in 2004 but not updated since.

Lunt Memorial Cemetery is currently available for burials, including green burials
