Broomfield has two active cemeteries to operate and
maintain. Lakeview Cemetery is across the street from Broomfield High School and is open
for cremated remains only. It was established in 1890. The County Commons Cemetery, located at 9th and Sheridan,
opened
in 2003 and offers locations for cremated remains and full burials of
caskets. The cemetery currently has three and a half acres developed
with room to expand up to over 10 acres. A large niche wall is available
as well as a Veterans Section.
Cemetery Technician Matthew Martella and his seasonal employees have
responsibility for all the landscape maintenance in both cemeteries.
They provide services at the time of need, opening and closing graves,
and they set up for final services.
Areas are mowed and trimmed twice a week during the growing season to
keep each cemetery visually pleasing and comforting for the bereaved
friends and families.
