The Barstow Cemetery is excited to announce that the discretionary funds to be given to the Cemetery for additional curbing from Supervisor Paul Cooks office have been approved. The City of Barstow will be covering the additional funds required for us to receive the initial amount and will be overseeing the curbing installation project. The funds will not be immediately available as there are processes still to go through, but we are so grateful to Paul Cooks office and to the City of Barstow. Although the City of Barstow are not responsible for the Cemetery and we are a separate entity from the City they have been a huge help and instrumental in making this project happen. We are working closely to continue that progress and have more positive endeavors in the works for the future of our Cemetery.

Update after the rain. The staff are aware that many of the headstones in the first landscaped section and the Garden of Rememberance are covered over by mud and some cannot be seen at all. This is going to be the priority for this week and probably into next week to get these uncovered. In comparison, in the front section that was most recently landscaped because the headstones were left above the ground a couple of inches the run off went around the headstones and none were covered over. Moving forward on the project this will be how all sections are done so that we don’t have to worry about peoples markers being lost or covered by dirt and mud. We appreciate your patience while we address the issues and are working diligently to make sure all markers are uncovered. If you have any questions or concerns or can’t find your loved ones markers after please let us know so we can help.

Cemetery staff are continuing to do what we can while trying to get funding to complete the landscaping project. Headstones are being straightened and debris cleaned from between rows to create a cleaner cemetery. It takes time but there is a difference being made.

For members of the community who have voiced concerns about leaving flowers on their loved ones site. These are flowers that are just now being removed due to the obvious state of them being dried and dead. Staff does not remove live flowers from a site until they have withered and died. Staff does not remove artificial flowers unless they are sun dried, weathered, or tattered from the wind. We hope this helps to resolve any misinformation on the matter. Thank you.

A huge thank you to Victor Keaton for the donation of a large canopy for the Cemetery to use during services to provide coverage to families. This is so generous on top of the Veterans fence that the Keaton family donated earlier in the year. We appreciate your help and support so much. Thank you!

We have had an issue with the rabbits eating all of our new plants in this row and are building a small TEMPORARY fence to try and give our plants a fighting chance. Please be careful of the fence if visiting the area. Thank you!
