About


Riverside Cemetery has temporarily adjusted hours on weekdays to clear debris from Tropical Storm Helene and make sure the cemetery is safe and beautiful for everyone. To maintain sensitivity of gravesites and ensure safety of both the public and work crews, community members are not allowed on the grounds while work takes place.

Grounds are open from 5pm to 8pm on Monday to Friday and regular hours on weekends which are 7am to 8pm.

Timely updates are available on the Riverside Cemetery Recovery project page. You may also sign up to receive email updates as work progresses. We look forward to fully reopening and welcoming the community back to the serene beauty of the cemetery soon.

Riverside Cemetery is a garden-style cemetery serving as both a burial ground and public park.
