Boston State Hospital
Patients from
Boston State were buried at Mount Hope, a city cemetery across the
street from the hospital. The grave markers are small numbered stones,
no names, no dates. A former hospital chaplain recalls burials being
conducted in what he said was an undignified manner, often without
any family present and with no service.
There is no
cemetery restoration group for Boston State Hospital, but one is needed.
If you would like to be part of a group, the It's About Time staff
could help you get one started. Please give us a call, or email us,
if you are interested.
