Warwick Life host Scott Nerney talks with Warwick Commission on Historical Cemeteries Chair Pegee Malcolm and Vice Chair Mark Brown.

The cemetery commission works to restore, rehabilitate, and maintain Warwick’s 167 historical cemeteries. Hear how cemeteries are lost, how they’re protected, about the oldest burials in Warwick, if there are new burials in historic cemeteries, why old headstones last so long, and where you can find stories about people buried in Warwick cemeteries.

Visit the Warwick Commission on Historical Cemeteries Facebook page.

To volunteer, call Susan Cabeceiras at (401) 921-9687.

Warwick Life highlights what’s special in Warwick, Rhode Island and helps listeners get the most from this seaside community. Warwick Life is produced by Scott Nerney and presented by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We Be Jammin’⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
