Two Ways to Rest Here

The cemetery offers the Memorial Garden for cremated remains, and traditional burial lots as they become available. Both are described below.

A Place of Peace & Remembrance

The Fredericksburg City Cemetery Company Memorial Garden is a dedicated space for the burial of cremated remains — an economical and environmentally sensitive alternative to traditional burial.

In keeping with the cemetery's desire to promote a natural process, ashes are deposited directly into the ground. No containers are used. Ashes will be deposited in sequence within the garden's concentric area.

The Memorial Garden provides a dignified, lasting tribute within the historic grounds of the Fredericksburg City Cemetery — a place where loved ones may be remembered as part of Fredericksburg's enduring story.

Do You Have Family Here?
