The cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the final resting place for more than 19,000 people representing many ages, faiths, races, and national creeds. Civil War veterans from the Union and the Confederacy are interred here on our 125-acre, meticulously landscaped property. Historically significant and beautifully maintained in all seasons, the cemetery continues to develop new sections, making it the perfect choice as a final resting place for families and individuals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-6 wpb_column vc_column_container has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner us_custom_1fbdd36c\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_a77d5f4f height_small color_alternate\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_boxes stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2><a title=\"Burial Records\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.orbicular.media\/rivcem\/search-our-records\/\">Burial Records<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>With Riverside Cemetery\u2019s online database, finding loved ones and keeping their memories alive has never been easier.
