Saint Pius Forest Lawn Cemetery

About Saint Pius Forest Lawn Cemetery

Errol sits deep in New Hampshire's North Country, where the Androscoggin River begins its long run south out of the Umbagog Lake country and moose step from the Thirteen Mile Woods at dusk. Saint Pius Forest Lawn Cemetery is a cemetery in this river town, and its lawn care is of a patient, unhurried kind: grass kept trim and rows kept tidy on ground set aside for remembrance. Summer is brief this far north, and the mowing fits into long June evenings when the light lingers late over the spruce and birch. A neatly kept lawn in a place like this says that the people resting here are remembered. Where the forest presses in from every side, an open, cared-for green is a gentle and lasting gesture.
