The story of…read moreSusannah The Pear Street Cemetery is a spooky old graveyard and like most spooky old graveyards it has a spooky old story that is told about it. This particular story is about a young woman named Susannah. Susannah was a young woman that was married to a fisherman named Benjamin around the year 1785. And like all fisherman Ben had to go out into the harsh and dangerous ocean to earn a living. And like all fisherman it was never certain exactly when or even if he would return. On one particularly day the weather was especially nasty and stormy and Benjamin's boat didn't return. Susannah became frantic and went down to the water to look, wait and watch. Unfortunately night came and Ben's boat still didn't return so Susannah stayed by the water trying to catch a glimpse of the fishing vessel. The next morning Susannah's body was found floating by the shore. Apparently she was caught by a huge wave and either drowned or smushed on the rocks. Ironically Benjamin's boat did return later in the day and he was unharmed. Poor Susannah was buried in the small Pear Street Cemetery by her house and Benjamin eventually remarried. It is said that Susannah never stopped looking for her husband and over the decades and centuries a strange mist has been seen around Susannah's grave. Since ghosts don't seem to like me I didn't see anything strange around Susannah's grave but I did see a very cool, ancient and very historic old graveyard. Lots of strange, simple but unique memorials, many with the anchor that indicates the person was lost at sea. I didn't get to see the apparition of Susannah of any other ghost but it was a fascinating cemetery to visit. If you ever go here and actually see poor Susannah make sure you say hello to her for me.

A very lonely…read moregraveyard The Lewis Cemetery is a small and very old graveyard located on Barter Island. A very isolated part of Boothbay that few people venture to. The cemetery serves the people of the small island and has been in use for a long, long time. Hard to tell exactly when it was first started because like many old cemeteries in Maine most of the graves are very worn and difficult to read. The harsh weather does a job on even the toughest stone. Most of the grave markers are small and simple but quite interesting. I noticed a lot of Barters buried here which makes sense since that is the name of the small island. Some had flowers and were well taken care of. Obviously someone still cares and comes to say hello to the deceased. A very lonely and historic place that is a cool place to walk around and look, listen and feel the past. It gets cold and windy here and winter comes very early. Not a bad place to spend eternity, or at least a small part of it.

This is the second death our family has experienced in the last few months and costs are unfortunately, of great concern. We were looking for a simple cremation for our loved one and we met with BrIan Hahn at Jones, Rich and Barnes Funeral Home. We did not have an appointment and were only in town for a couple of days. Brian dropped everything to meet with us and although we were not able to use his company's services, he was generous, compassionate and thoughtful. He guided us to another service which was able to provide what we were looking for. We will always remember his kindness and generosity at this difficult time for our family.

I cannot express how much this organization made a difficult time and easy and smooth as possible. I highly recommend.

Just found out some very upsetting news…read more.. I am disabled and live in Arizona. I am unable to travel. My mother passed two months ago and Brackett's handled everything, so I thought... Brackett Funeral Parlor in Brunswick Maine had the WRONG NAME Engraved onto a plaque for my Mother's vault! They never caught the mistake! It wasn't until the FUNERAL, two weeks later that it was caught by family in attendance! Then! They said well the last name is right and threw one hundred dollars at the bill, calling it good enough! Then! Rather than replacing the plaque with the CORRECT NAME, They buried MY MOTHER that way! I called today, as soon as i heard this news, and was treated like a nobody by the very RUDE funeral director, who not only didn't apologize for what they had done, but dismissed me by saying an adjustment to the bill was made. It is settled, in their opinion. When I asked why they never notified me of the mistake personally, (They had all my information) he scoffed and said that was my sister's job to tell me.... My mom will be gone two months tommorow. Maybe it doesn't matter to them, but it sure does to me. We have done business with Brackett's for generarions. I've never heard of such a thing before! They could have easily replaced this before her burial, after the funeral. This is disrespectful to my Mother, family and the absolute worse way to handle a mistake. This is unacceptable.
