Our Memorial Day Fundraiser signs have been placed throughout the cemetery. In addition to ongoing maintenance, we are continuing to work on the roads throughout the cemetery and the preparation of a new section. Your donations allow us to do these projects. Checks can be mailed to PO Box 50, Guilderland, NY, 12084. Thank you very much for your support!

What to do

when someone dies

When someone dies, you need to contact a funeral home.  The funeral home will help with any services you need and coordinate the burial with the cemetery.

What are the

options for burial?

Burial options include the deceased body in a casket or cremation of the body. One gravesite can accommodate four options: one casket, one cremains, one casket together with one cremains, or two cremains.

Can I

pre-plan a burial?

You can pre-plan by purchasing a gravesite at any time. You will be given a deed as proof of ownership at the time of purchase. The deed conveys ownership of the gravesite to the owner(s) and their heirs and assigns. The expense for burial cannot be prepaid. The fee for burial is paid at the time of the burial.

The next trimming day at the cemetery will be Saturday, September 10, 2022, with a rain date of September 17th. We will start at 8 am and finish by noon. If you would like to volunteer your time to help us trim throughout the cemetery, we could use all the help we can get. We have a limited number of weed trimmers available so it is helpful if you can bring your own trimmer to use. Thank you!
