This is a large cemetery which lies west of Highway 77, off S. Carroll Blvd. The area is flat with some small trees and is well maintained. Originally established by the I.O.O.F. in 1860, ownership was transferred to the City of Denton in 1933.
The cemetery contains approximately 7058 grave sites. Upon arrival, we felt there was something different, and after a few minutes realized there were almost no floral arrangements to be seen. We later found a sign (see gallery) and noted the very strict rules regarding fresh and artificial flowers. Seems to have a negative effect.
The cemetery is bisected by numerous drives, in a grid pattern. A detailed description of location and entrance points is shown on the Find a Grave link below.
