Norm Mason (pictured above with his wife Evelyn) is one of the Broadford Cemetery Trust’s longest serving members. He joined the Trust in 1989 and served as a committee member for more than three decades.
During his 32-year tenure, Norm held several positions including as coordinator of burials, secretary, treasurer and chairman. In fact, he is the longest serving chairman in the Trust’s recorded history.
Norm ensured correct grave location and grave preparation and liaised with funeral directors and families. He secured many of the grants to improve the cemetery, especially the paving, cremation walls and IT equipment.
The rose garden at the Piper Street frontage to the cemetery was planned, planted and tended by Norm and his wife Evelyn for many years. He set new maintenance standards for the cemetery, and this high standard of care continues to drive Cemetery Trust members today.
