Established in 1858, the Athens Cemetery is a place of reflection, providing comfort and a venue to celebrate and honor loved ones.

The Cemetery is recognized as a state historical cemetery and currently has five historic markers honoring leaders, characters, and icons that helped to shape and form the Henderson County community.

As visitors arrive at the Cemetery, they are encouraged to stop at our informational kiosk just inside the front entry gate. An alphabetical roster identifies the location of each interment and a printed map will assist you in finding your way.

Currently, there remain 4,000 lots/spaces available within the historic grounds (including cremation lots and Columbarium niches). The map will help you in identifying availability and consider pricing.

Principal and Historic Sections: $1,100.00 per space
Celtic Cross Section: $1,450.00 per space
Multi-Lot Family Section: $1,000.00 per space (Burial spaces sold in groups of 8 or more and may be landscaped to suit buyer)
