The University of Louisville has all of the salvaged records from Eastern Cemetery. To find burial location information, please email ceminfo@louisville.edu with as much information you have on the individual (name, birth date, death date, etc.). Once you have burial information, the Friends of Eastern Cemetery will gladly help you find the grave location in the cemetery. The burial location information on Find A Grave is not always correct. We always recommend that you reach out to the University of Louisville to verify.

If you are unaware, the history of Eastern Cemetery is complicated and sad. Your ancestors may or may not have headstones marking their grave locations. Some families have erected new monuments for those that are gone. Please reach out to us with any questions.

We are participating in Give for Good Louisville again this year, September 12th!

The online day of giving has been a great fundraiser for us, and we had great success last year giving each of our amazing donors a free gift for their donation. Without your help, we would not be able to preserve and maintain Eastern Cemetery. That’s why we want to show our gratitude!
For donors of $50 or less, you will receive an invitation to tour Eastern Cemetery on Saturday, November 9th.

For donors of $51-$199,  you will receive the same tour invitation as well as a Friends of Eastern Cemetery supporter shirt.

For donors of $200 or more, you will receive the supporter shirt and a private tour of Eastern Cemetery (to be scheduled) for as many guests as you’d like.

We are so grateful for our amazing supporters! To donate, please click here. You will have 24 hours to make your donation, and all giving will end at 11:59PM on September 12th.

If you cannot donate, you can still help! We need your help to make our campaign a success, and we’ve included a few easy ways that you can support us.

Share and share alike. Online days of giving are successful because of our own networks. Help us grow our network by sharing this email or sending a text about us to your network and ask your friends to do the same.

Be socially (media) active. Use your social media networks: post on Facebook, tweet about Give For Good Louisville, and share your love for Eastern Cemetery. Ask others to do the same.
