Grave Locator

Find a loved one's resting place.

Search our interment index — free of charge — to find the section, lot, and grave of someone buried at Evergreen Cemetery. Our records span more than 170 years of continuous service.

Search the interment index

Enter the name of the person you are looking for and the approximate year of burial. Our digital records cover burials from 1991 to the present; earlier records can be researched by our staff. We also ask for your own name and email so we can follow up on your search.

Before you visit

The grounds are open daily from 8:00 am to 4:45 pm. Once you know the section from your search, our printable grounds map (available from the menu and on the Directions page) will guide you to it. If you would like an escort to the grave, stop by the office during office hours — Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 4:00 pm; Saturday 9:00 am – 12:00 pm — and our staff will be glad to walk you out.

About this index

The locator searches our digitized interment index, which covers burials from 1991 to the present. If the record is in our digital database, the location is provided free of charge. Older entries may use variant spellings or abbreviated first names, so if you don't find someone on the first try, search by last name only. Burials before 1991 are not in the digital repository; our staff can search the original ledgers, dating to 1853, through the genealogy research service for a $25 fee.

A historic resting place

The records you are searching span a cemetery listed on the National Register of Historic Places — 115 park-like acres founded in 1853, with nearly 130,000 gravesites including author Stephen Crane and other figures of American history. Learn more in our history and notable burials.
