Christopher C. Stilkey
Director and President
Husband and Father of 7
Mr. Stilkey's family has been in the cemetery business since 1965, starting with his grandfather Ralph Prout, who started maintaining Grove Cemetery in Freeport. His father, Donald C. Stilkey took over in the 1970's and began caring for Burr Cemetery, shortly thereafter. In the late 80's, Don began taking care of six Yarmouth Cemeteries and in 1995, Mr. Stilkey began working with his mother and father and they formed D.C. Stilkey & Son, Inc., a business dedicated soley to the care and maintenance of cemeteries. They quickly added six Cumberland Cemeteries and Varney Cemetery, in Brunswick. In 2001, Don Stilkey died at the age of 68. Mr. Stilkey became Owner/President and continued in his father's footsteps. Since then, Mr. Stilkey has added the Gray Cemeteries to their list, now totaling 17 cemeteries, that D.C. Stilkey & Son maintains and cares for. In 2007, the opportunity arose to add a crematory to Burr Cemetery, where his father is buried and in 2011, after much effort and training, Mr. Stilkey opened Lighthouse Crematory and Remembrance, Inc.
Mr. Stilkey has been a member of the Maine Cemetery Association since 1995 and is a former President.
With his wife Lori and his trained staff, he is dedicated to continuing his family's tradition of the death care business.
