The Bardstown Cemetery was first established in 1852 from land
purchased from Joseph Hart and James Doom. On behalf of the citizens
of Bardstown the city cemetery is designed and maintained under
the guidelines of the Mayor, the appointed Cemetery Sexton and the
Cemetery Committee according to the policies and Ordinances of the
City and State.
The Cemetery Sexton is responsible for all record-keeping, answering
questions, forwarding complaints to the appropriate personnel, selling
grave spaces and overall management of the cemetery.
The Cemetery Committee members are appointed by the Mayor and meet
on a quarterly basis with the Cemetery Sexton to consider matters
of policy, planning, maintenance of the cemetery, and to advise
the City Council. The present members are: Mayor Richard Heaton, Council
Member Bobby Simpson, Chairman, Council Member Francis Lydian, Sexton

PUBLIC NOTICE:
With the mowing season in full swing, it is very important for the rules and regulations of the Bardstown Cemetery, especially those regarding articles and ornaments placed on the graves or monuments, to be enforced. For the safety of mowers and visitors alike, the Bardstown Cemetery Committee is asking that all articles and ornaments made of concrete, glass, etc. that are not permanently attached to the monument be removed. Any article that may hinder the safety, maintenance, or mowing around the site are not permitted. This includes flower arrangements and other articles that are placed in or on the ground. All vases and other arrangements that are permanently secured are considered acceptable. Once again, these rules and regulations are being enforced in an effort to keep our visitors and maintenance workers safe, especially during the mowing season. We hope to keep our cemetery looking nice and neat and cannot do so without your help. We ask that any article in question be picked up as soon as possible. If family and friends do not remove these items, the maintenance crew will pick up and discard them. Thank you for your compliance.
The Bardstown Cemetery Committee
