Click on title to link to a story featured in "The Plain Dealer" that was published today entitled: "Cleveland will tap endowment to fix historic cemeteries."
It is superbly written by Thomas Ott. The depth of his presentation will certainly make readers more aware of the plight of Cleveland's cemeteries and their great need for further preservation. Thankfully, many people have already stepped up to help make it happen for these early burial grounds.

Quoted from the story:
"Cleveland owns 12 cemeteries, 11 of them more than a century old. The cemeteries are home to about 400,000 departed. Only West Park and Cleveland Memorial Gardens, located in suburban Highland Hills, still have gravesites available for purchase."
The Cleveland City website identifies all of the cemeteries with their addresses and links to maps.
