Bath Township owns and operates two cemeteries: Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Rose Cemetery. The cemeteries are administered through the Township Clerk’s Office and maintained by the Department of Public Works. The Clerk’s Office coordinates the selection and sale of burial plots, interments, arrangements for the placement of burial markers, and other cemetery related services. A complete system of ownership of burial rights and burial records is maintained at the Township Offices.

All information concerning the cemeteries, including records, purchasing procedures, rules and regulations, arrangements and cost of interment services, and other services may be obtained by visiting this office or by calling the Township Clerk’s Office during office hours.
