The press has given Riverview Cemetery exposure in bad times and good times. The stories have unfolded one chapter at a time. The situation at Riverview Cemetery can happen to any cemetery. Likewise, the positive impact of volunteers can also happen at other cemeteries. We hope the Riverview Cemetery story inspires the
public to think about the vulnerability of cemeteries and the resources needed to properly maintain them for future generations. Please take the next step and get involved at your favorite cemetery! Friends of Historic Riverview Cemetery will continue to welcome your volunteer efforts.
