Cemeteries

The Town of Windsor maintains 5 cemeteries holding approximately 1,100 people going back to 1774.

You can now search public burial records.

Search Windsor’s Cemetery Records Online - October 2026

The Cemetery Commission has digitized its burial records. You can now search every burial we have on file at windsormass.com/cemeteries. The page is also linked from the cemetery pages on the town website and, for now, from the home page. Burials in the new section of the Shaw Road Cemetery (the “Franek Lot”) include a map showing where each grave is. We’re working on maps for the other cemeteries.

Please help us check the records. Look up people you know are buried in Windsor. If anything is missing or wrong, please let us know. This is part of a multi-year effort to improve our town cemeteries:

• Repairing and cleaning gravestones, a multi-year capital budget effort

• Building a searchable database and website (done!)

• Matching our 1,000+ records to the actual grave locations

Ben, a professional computer scientist, built the database and website with help from AI. Ben and John Jones are now working through the records together. We expect there are errors, gaps, and things that could work better, and we’d like to hear about them. If you’d like to help with this multi-year effort, by walking the cemeteries, checking records, or researching historical records, please get in touch. We’d be glad to have you.
