If you would kindly read my first comment I have given names, plot numbers and locations for the people I am interested in. I have since been told by Tom there is a stone with their names on and would dearly love to see a picture of this. I am guessing this relates to the Pashleys. If you would be so kind as to take a picture sometime I would be most grateful.

Usually I have comments up in a couple of days. This site is not an official online extension of the cemetery office and the best way to find out if your relatives are in Oak Grove Cemetery is to call or write to the director. I get to Fall River twice a month and if I get the chance, I am happy to try to look up and photograph ancestors’ graves.

I did a comment 20 days ago which is still awaiting moderation far as I can tell. Thank you.

I live in the UK and have discovered some ancestors were buried at your beautiful cemetery. I have names, dates and numbers but obviously am unable to visit in person. Can anyone be kind enough to tell me if there are gravestones for these people please?

T. Richard Kessell was in business with Alexander Lawson’s- a monument company just outside the gates of Oak Grove on Prospect Street. They made use of the excellent Fall River granite quarried just down the road a short distance from the cemetery. I would love to know more about your relative and of any specific stones he may have carved./ FOG

we are trying to trace our family in the USA

My great great grandmother Catherine Redfern was burried at Oak Grove around the 30th of April 1964 maybe a few days later.
We are trying very hard to trace our family.
Catherine was called Willcock and moved from Salford Manchester UK in 1911

If you could pass this message on to any of her family members we would be very greaful.

Regards and Best Wishes

Trace Ann Kern (willcock)

His name is not located in Findagrave for Oak Grove, and I am wondering if there is some other way to locate his grave and if there are other family member buried in a family plot.

I came across an Obit for Francis Elias Parry who died in June of 1920 and buried in Oak Grove. I would like to know the location of his plot and if there are more Parry’s buried in this cemetery.

Thank you,
Gail McKinnon

My great grandfather’s name was Nicholas Kessell and I have always known he was a stonecutter in Fall River Mass in the mid to late 1800′s as he past on in 1904 of “stone consumption”. I came across a book “The Fall River Directory of 1882 and notice an ad in there for Kessell and Lawson, a stonecutting company. I can only guess that my great grandfather was in that partnership. My question is, if there is anyway you could find out if he was all involved in the cutting of the Borden tombstone in 1892? I have been intrigued all my life, but now am very curious.
Thank you,
Elaine Kessell
There is never any information about stonecutters.
