Dedicated area for Families that Lose Young Children, Meadow of Angels

Over a decade ago, Puritan Lawn Memorial Park in Peabody developed the Meadow of Angels section which is a beautiful area of their 140 acre park dedicated for use by families that lose young children. Understanding that most of these young families are unprepared emotionally and financially for the loss of their child, the directors continue to provide the lot and interment at no charge. 

This year, in honor of the mothers of these young children, Puritan Lawn staff placed over 100 pink roses on their graves for Mother’s Day. Although there is little that can be done to console a parent that loses a child, the Directors hope their gift of the Meadow of Angels area makes this difficult time just a little bit easier for these young families. Established in 1933, Puritan Lawn, the oldest memorial park on the east coast continues to offer plan-ahead burial and cremation programs to area families.

History of Developments at Puritan Lawn

The original guest house for the 1,100 acre Saltonstall estate is now the main office for Puritan Lawn Memorial Park. As the oldest memorial park cemetery in Eastern United States, Puritan Lawn has long been recognized as the leader in offering plan ahead choices to families. With three generations of family stewardship, Puritan Lawn Directors take their responsibility to honor and care for the property and loved ones at rest in the park very seriously.

Puritan Lawn develops areas many years before they are needed and allows families to make selections in these areas with the “Right of Alternative Selection." What this means is that folks can plan ahead, enjoy pre-development savings and if the need arises, choose any available lot in the park no additional cost. This has been a unique program of Puritan's for over half a century and it will continue as it renders a notable service to the community.

The beautiful Meadows area shown below was arranged by many families years before it was completed. Our promise to prospective lot owners is that we make each new section unique while maintaining the ongoing natural beauty of the 140 acre grounds.
