The cemetery is nearly out of burial plots, so the city is allocating $1.4 million to start the expansion now — with the cemetery trustees repaying the city as bills come in.

Finance, Organization and Personnel Committee - Sep 24, 2026
Keene has effectively exhausted burial space at Monadnock View Cemetery. A full $1.4 million expansion of about 10 acres will add roughly 9,000 grave spaces plus potential cremation spaces, designed to serve the city for 65 to 100 years.
General - Mar 10, 2026
Monadnock View Cemetery is nearly full — one cremation space and 35 burial plots left. A trustee-funded master plan approved in January 2026 provides 65–100 years of capacity, with infrastructure work and tree plantings planned this year.
Municipal Services, Facilities and Infrastructure Committee - Jan 21, 2026
The cemetery is nearly full — just 39 full-body plots and two cremation spaces left. The master plan would add 9.4 acres with about 5,700 grave spaces, lasting roughly 60+ years, funded by the cemetery Trustees and the CIP.
