Finding burial records in Hingham
- Hingham town clerk. The town clerk's office can help with death records for people who died in Hingham, and statewide records are kept by the Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records and Statistics in Dorchester (records from 1936 on). Recent records are usually restricted to close family; older ones are more widely available.
- Cemetery records. Ask the town clerk or the cemetery department (often under public works) who keeps burial and lot records. Many towns have elected cemetery commissioners.
- Old town reports. Annual town reports often listed each year's deaths. Try the Hingham public library or the nearest library that keeps them.
