Cemeteries of Norwell Map
In earlier times it was customary to bury one's kindred on the family estate, and a number of private burial grounds and tombs still exist in town. On Pleasant Street, a cemetery is located on the Ephraim Otis estate. This graveyard had a unique feature in that slaves belonging to the family were buried in unmarked graves around the perimeter. Another family tomb is the Joseph Cushing tomb on Old Oaken Bucket Road.
