We're grateful for a generous donation of crepe myrtle trees received for the baby section of the cemetery. These trees will offer soft shade and beauty for the families who visit their little ones-- a quiet reminder that they are always remembered. Thank you to our donors for this gift of love.

Evergreen Cemetery is dedicated to serving the entire family -- and we realize that your pet is an important part of yours. They provide companionship, emotional support and unconditional love during the time they are with us. At Evergreen, we understand how hard it is to say farewell to a true friend. We also know how important it is to celebrate the life of your pet in a way that is meaningful to you and your family.

Located in a section of the historic Evergreen Cemetery reserved solely for pets, the newly added pet cemetery serves as the final resting place for our furred and feathered loved ones. Stop by to visit or contact us at 352-393-8535 if you have any questions.
