Records of those who came
before us.

Evergreen Cemetery has maintained continuous burial records since 1853. We are pleased to assist descendants, historians, and genealogists researching family history.

Records available: Interment date, section and lot location, and arranging party name. For burials prior to 1900, additional documentation may be available upon request.

How to request records

Please complete the form below with as much information as you have. Our staff will search our records and respond with findings. Research requests are typically completed within 10 business days, though more complex inquiries may take longer.

Research fees

There is no charge for an initial search. If records are located and documentation is requested, a $25 fee applies per record. Families are welcome to visit the cemetery in person during office hours to view lot locations — no appointment is necessary, though calling ahead is appreciated.
