About Us
Honoring the Past. Serving the Present. Preserving for the Future.
The Richfield Cemetery Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, maintenance, and respectful stewardship of the historic Richfield Cemetery. Founded on the principles of dignity, remembrance, and community service, our mission is to ensure that this sacred ground remains a place of peace, history, and reflection for generations to come.
Our History
Richfield Cemetery has been a part of the community for generations—serving as the final resting place for veterans, pioneers, loved ones, and community leaders. Many of the headstones mark the lives of those who helped shape the local history. The cemetery stands not only as a place of remembrance, but also as a testament to the lives and stories of our community’s past.
The Richfield Cemetery Association was established by concerned citizens who recognized the importance of preserving this heritage. Through volunteer efforts, community donations, and responsible governance, we ensure that the cemetery remains properly maintained and protected from neglect or disrepair.
