Belmont’s new SimpliCity Cemetery GIS system went live about one month ago, with staff prioritizing searches by interment name for visitors. Commissioners also agreed to lock the Fairview Avenue vehicle gate, require staff to meet trucks and vendors, and add a pedestrian gate; cameras and motion lights are planned to address vandalism and theft.

The new online cemetery system includes lot owner, parcel, and interment records, although searches by a person’s interment name are not yet available. Once remaining data matching and mapping work is complete, the system is expected to support self-service and mobile use at the cemeteries. The Board also discussed cemetery maintenance, a stormwater project estimated at $150,000–$175,000, and a separate $600,000 Burial Hill project currently on hold.
