The Butman Township Cemetery is located east of F-97 on Cemetery Road.   Many old time residents of the Township are buried there.  Most of the old records were destroyed in a fire when the Cemetery Sexton's house burned down in the early part of the twentieth century.

The Township passed a cemetery ordinance or set of rules and regulations which are used to operate the cemetery on a regular basis.  A copy of this ordinance can be viewed at the township hall or hard copies can  be obtained under The Freedom of Information Act.

For information on site availability (resident and non-resident cemetery lot charges) and internment charges, please call, Karon Hoffman at 426-4351 extension 27 from 9:00 A.M.  to 4:00 P.M. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

If you wish to purchase a site, call the Clerk's office at 426-4351 extension 25 and an on-site with the sexton or a sexton's representative will be arranged.
