Salisbury Cemetery Commission approves prior meeting minutes and rejects second headstone request. Chairman Gordon Frost reported that the Commission denied a request for two headstones on a single lot at Long Hill Cemetery, citing a prior vote limiting headstones to one per lot. The Commission approved surveying vacant expansion land with ground penetrating radar to detect unmarked burials before new grave sites are marked.
