For the most part, the Cemetery is inactive, there are very few new burials. The Cemetery is open daily from 8:00 AM to approximately 4:00 PM.

The DAR hand typed manuscripts of the engravings on the headstones in the cemeteries owned by City of Cleveland cemeteries. Those early manuscripts were utilized for this project and helped to identify many of the headstones remaining in these cemeteries.
