Cemetery Clean Up March 1-15

Please remove any unauthorized grave decorations. Unauthorized grave decorations will be removed and discarded during cleanup. 

Attention Evergreen and Fairview Families
The cemetery is planting grass on new graves and mowing and trimming the spaces.  Please note that we cannot plant grass, mow, or trim any spaces that have grave decorations that are not in approved cemetery vases or on the monument base.  All plastic flowers, fencing, solar lights, figurines, pinwheels, baskets, toys, glass or plastic vases, wind chimes, hooks, and any other items must be removed for grass to be planted, mowed and trimmed.  We ask that families do not place any prohibited items on grave spaces at any time.  All items will be removed by cemetery staff during the cemetery clean up in November.  Thank you for helping us keep our cemeteries safe and beautiful places to visit. 

Evergreen Cemetery Fundraiser 

Established shortly after Colorado Springs was founded in 1871, Evergreen Cemetery is one of Colorado Springs oldest continuously-operated cemeteries. The original ten acres has grown to over 220, with more than 90,000 burials. Many of the pioneers that built the city of Colorado Springs, including American prospector and philanthropist Winfield Scott Stratton, poet Helen Hunt Jackson, and even our city’s founder, General William Jackson Palmer are buried in Evergreen Cemetery. In 1993, this cemetery became only the second in the state to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Read more...
