This section offers both casket and large cremation plots and will accommodate cremation, standard, green, and titan burials.

The Davis Cemetery District is pleased to announce that we have broken ground on a section expansion which will bring 68 new casket plots and 12 double cremation plots to our historic J section. Under direct supervision of the Grounds Foreman, Matt Ries, our grounds crew has been demolishing an old hearst turnaround pad to make way for the new plots in the highly desirable historic section of the cemetery.

A big thank you to Recology for being so accommodating with our concrete disposal schedule.
