This beautiful old Cemetery is located on East 118th Street in the midst of a busy urban area of Cleveland, Ohio. For the most part, the Cemetery is inactive, there are very few new burials. The Cemetery is now owned and operated by the East Cleveland Township Cemetery Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to own and maintain the East Cleveland Township Cemetery as a historic landmark, to restore, preserve and share the cemetery’s pioneer Victorian heritage and to build a solid financial foundation for the cemetery’s future. As of this date over 18,000 people have been confirmed to be buried in East Cleveland Cemetery. It is believed there are additional individuals not yet identified.
This area holds some of the 'youngest' internments in cemetery and is one of the few areas that we have trouble going through without being touched by what we see here.
