Overview

Mission

Fully operational cemetery providing pre-need and at-need services for burials.

What it reported doing in 2025

The cemetery provides burial sites on a pre-need basis and at-need basis. Additionally, the grounds are maintained for those interned.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
