A Cemetery Success Story - Sacramento Historic City Cemetery

Margaret and I spent Thanksgiving with friends in Sacramento, CA and while there we visited the Historic Cemetery that Christine Russell told us about at our last meeting.

What a beautiful community resource - three wide open entrances; dogs allowed on leash; bicycles transversing the cemetery; benches, bike racks,and even picnic tables for visitors. A "Friends of the Cemetery" group with over 100 members with a mission statement:

To join hands with the community to restore, beautify, preserve and protect the Historic City Cemetery, while maintaining access by descendants of the deceased, and to provide educational services to all visitors to the Historic City Cemetery of Sacramento.








I urge everyone to visit their website http://www.oldcitycemetery.com/index.htm and download the City's very thorough Master Plan as well as their governing City Ordinance.

You will also enjoy reading their Newsletter - "Epitaph"

We can do this too!!

  1. Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
