Rockland Cemetery News & Updates - Summer 2025

Dear Friends of Rockland Cemetery,

As the summer days unfold, we're pleased to bring you the latest news and updates from Rockland Cemetery in Sparkill, NY. We remain committed to providing a serene and beautiful resting place for your loved ones, while also serving as a valuable historical and natural space for our community.

Ongoing Beautification and Preservation Efforts

We are continually working to maintain the peaceful and dignified atmosphere of Rockland Cemetery. Our dedicated team is focused on seasonal landscaping, ensuring the grounds are meticulously cared for. We understand the importance of preserving the historical integrity of our cemetery, and these ongoing efforts are vital to that commitment.

You may have noticed recent news regarding restoration projects in other Rockland County cemeteries. While these are separate initiatives, they highlight the broader community's dedication to maintaining these important historical sites. Rockland Cemetery has its own ongoing preservation plans, and we remain dedicated to the long-term care of our grounds and memorials.

Community Engagement and Events

Rockland Cemetery strives to be a place of reflection and remembrance, as well as a peaceful space for the community. We are always exploring ways to host meaningful gatherings and welcome visitors to appreciate the natural beauty and historical significance of our grounds. While no specific public events are currently scheduled at Rockland Cemetery itself, we encourage you to check our website, rocklandcemetery.org, for any upcoming announcements regarding community engagement.

We also remind you that the Historical Society of Rockland County often hosts events related to local history, and while not directly at our cemetery, these can be of interest to those who appreciate the heritage of our region.

Important Information for Visitors

As always, our grounds are open daily from dawn until dusk for visitation. We encourage all visitors to review our guidelines and etiquette, available on our website, to ensure a respectful and peaceful experience for everyone.

For any inquiries regarding plot information, services, or general questions, please visit our website or contact our office at (845) 359-0172. Our team is here to assist you with care and compassion.
