About Us

Honoring the Past, Preserving the Legacy

CONE CEMETERY is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and respectful maintenance of the historic Cone Cemetery — a sacred resting place with deep cultural, genealogical, and historical significance.

Founded by community members with a shared passion for heritage and remembrance, CONE CEMETERY serves as both a steward of history and a bridge between generations. We believe that cemeteries are not just places of mourning, but of learning, storytelling, and honoring the lives that helped shape our present.

Our Mission

To protect, preserve, and promote the Cone Cemetery as a historical and cultural site, ensuring it remains a place of dignity, reflection, and community engagement for generations to come.

What We Do

• Restoration & Maintenance: We lead efforts to clean, repair, and maintain grave markers, pathways, and landscaping with respect and historical accuracy.

• Historical Documentation: Our team works to document gravesites, collect genealogical records, and preserve the stories of those laid to rest.

• Community Involvement: We host clean-up days, educational tours, and remembrance events to engage the local community in honoring their shared history.

• Advocacy: We advocate for the protection of the cemetery from development, neglect, or damage, ensuring legal safeguards for its long-term care.

Why It Matters

Cone Cemetery is more than a burial ground — it is a testament to the lives, struggles, and resilience of those who came before us. Preserving this space not only protects our past but also inspires future generations to value and learn from it.
