Marstons Mills Hearse House and Cemetery, Barnstable
Facts and practical information
The Marstons Mills Hearse House and Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Massachusetts Route 149 in the Marstons Mills section of Barnstable, Massachusetts. The hearse house, essentially a garage, was built c. 1885 to house a hearse for the village of Marstons Mills, and was one of seven such buildings erected in Barnstable. It is one of only two that are now left, and the only one that is relatively unaltered and in its original setting. It presently serves as a utility shed for the Marston Mills Cemetery, and is maintained by the local historic society. It is a simple rectangular wood-frame structure, with a gable roof, decorative shingle exterior, and a large double-leaf equipment door. ()
