Welcome to the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery searchable database, where you may find information on persons buried as far back as 1849 or as recently as 2015.
Sources currently include the burial index, burial cards, lot and marker photos, and articles from the California Digital Newspaper Collection.
Our goal is for this database to be as accurate as possible, given available sources. The cemetery's records have been inconsistently maintained over the past 160+ years, and untold hours of volunteer time have been spent attempting to sort out, compile, and verify this information. Our work expands upon the work of many others who have come before us, most notably the massive burial index assembled by Virginia Marsh and a team of volunteers at the former “Cemetery Archives” over many years starting in 1985
