The Lowell Cemetery, Lowell, Middlesex Co., MA has a New Website Now
Email: staff@lowellcemetery.com
Website: https://www.lowellcemetery.com/
I don't have any ancestry roots in this city, but when I began my genealogy blog in 2009, I often went to the cemetery to take tombstone photos to post to my site. In addition to taking cemetery photos, I also took many of plants, shrubs, and trees, since this is known as a garden cemetery. At some point, I needed help, so I got a copy of their map and sometimes I would call or even stop in the office to find out where somebody was buried. I was often told the staff was working on getting the information online.
I recently discovered their updated website and a section called Genealogy and Veterans, with a database! Upon using it, I soon saw that it was for 1,074 Veterans only. I called the office and inquired about it, and was told they are working on all the other burials and at some time they will be posted.

Claypit Cemetery in Lowell, Massachusetts (See the Changes)
810 Varnum Ave, Lowell, MA 01854
I always knew there was a cemetery in this area, but never saw it until October 4, 2020. The parking lot used to be the land for the outdoor Lowell Drive-In. I went there many years from the '60s to many years later, it was a popular theater and we all knew about the cemetery. It is located on the right side of the cream-colored Marshalls store (below). I went back to the cemetery on December 27, 2023, and what a surprise!
The one above and many below photos were taken on October 4, 2020. As you can see, painting for parking has not been done for the new Market Basket or Marshalls. Market Basket which opened on Friday, October 9, 2020. Below there are two marked parking spaces for the cemetery.
