Davis Cemetery

Exciting progress at the Davis Cemetery District!

We are pleased to announce the completion of our new service equipment storage building. This addition provides a secure, organized space for the equipment our staff use each day to support graveside interment services.

By improving storage capacity and operational efficiency, this new facility helps us ensure that our service equipment remains clean, well-maintained, and readily available for the families we serve. It also allows our main shop to remain dedicated to equipment storage, maintenance, and repair operations.

This investment supports our ongoing commitment to providing respectful, professional service while maintaining the highest standards of care throughout the cemetery.

A few years back we decided to plant an Amaryllis the office received for Christmas. It has prorogated several times since planting and brings us beautiful blooms in early Spring. Here she is today in all her glory!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Wreaths Across America wreath-laying ceremony.

From now through December 31, 2025, Wreaths Across America will match all sponsorships our cemetery receives. This is a wonderful opportunity to help us reach 100% wreath coverage for 2026. You can sponsor a wreath by visiting the link below.

I am pleased to announce that the Public Cemetery Alliance has selected the Davis Cemetery District as the 2025 Cemetery District of the Year.

This honor comes with special recognition of our COVID-19 Permanent Memorial and the successful launch of our new cremation garden. These initiatives reflect the District’s vision to enhance our cemetery’s role in memorializing the history of the community we serve, its people, and the original Central Valley landscape—through thoughtful art, architecture, and design.

It is truly an honor to have the District recognized in alignment with our mission.

A special thank you to Trustee Stephen Souza and Former Trustee Heidy Kellison for their vision and leadership in creating the COVID-19 Memorial. We are also deeply grateful to our dedicated staff, whose hard work and commitment made these projects possible and successful.

In July 2024, the District opened a cremation garden, offering both in-ground and above-ground cremation interment options. Initially, we faced challenges with poor drainage and irrigation, making it difficult for native plants to thrive.

In early July, we partnered with Garden Artistry, a local landscape design company, to restore and enhance the garden beds. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results—the transformation has brought beauty to the space.

If you're exploring cremation interment options, we invite you to stop by and experience this thoughtfully designed garden in person. Pricing details can be found here: https://daviscemetery.org/cremation-garden-coming-july-2024/
