Oak Grove Cemetery maintains a published price list for burial options and emphasizes transparent pricing. Specific prices are not reproduced here; families should consult the cemetery directly or review current pricing documents. Payment structures and financing options are not detailed in available materials.
The main cemetery spans 90 acres of landscaped grounds with the historic brownstone archway and chapel structure at its entrance. The property features mature trees, garden-style sections, and varied topography typical of late-19th-century rural cemetery design. Gates remain open daily including weekends and holidays, with extended evening hours during summer months. The Cottage Street Annex provides additional burial capacity in a separate Springfield location. Both properties are accessible by vehicle with internal roadways, though specific accessibility accommodations are not detailed in available materials.
Oak Grove Cemetery focuses exclusively on cemetery property and interment services, offering burial rights and memorialization without operating a funeral home or cremation facility on site.
Oak Grove Cemetery has anchored the Springfield community since 1881, when it was established as a non-sectarian burial ground to serve families across Western Massachusetts. The 90-acre property sits along Bay Street, its entrance marked by the distinctive brownstone archway and chapel erected in 1884—landscape features that have defined the cemetery's identity for nearly a century and a half.
The cemetery's footprint shifted in the 1950s when a portion of the original grounds was conveyed to the city of Springfield for the creation of Tapley Street, reducing the property to its current 90 acres. In 2012, Oak Grove expanded its stewardship by assuming management of St. Joseph's Cemetery, founded in 1938, which now operates as the Cottage Street Annex at 260 Cottage Street. Today, both locations serve families from Springfield, Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Agawam, and throughout the Pioneer Valley with what the organization describes as dignified, inclusive care.
I went with my loved ones to select a burial plot. While we were being shown the area, a female clerk spoke to John, the employee assisting us—a 79-year-old man with a hearing impairment—in a highly disrespectful and demeaning manner. She mocked him and made a disturbing comment ...

Oak Grove Cemetery hours of operation does not support the working class families. Being closed on the weekends is truly a disservice to our community! Here's a simple & fair schedule suggestion: Mon - Friday 8:00AM - 6:30PM Sat - Sunday 9:00AM - 3:00PM Thank you in advance for...
The fact that a cemetery closes at 4:00 p.m. is ridiculous. I used to live in Mass but we're located to Connecticut. I want to visit my brother at the site but I have a 9:00 to 5 job so any planning is always out the window cuz I have a small time frame to get there at 5:00 would...
This place truly makes sad situations even sadder. Our son & I have been leaving things for my sons father since he passed a little over a year ago and they either throw the items away that same day or the next day. I actually caught them once too. I’ve followed all rules and reg...
