Beautiful Historic Cemetery Hopes The Community Will Donate

Something many of us avoid talking about but need to give some thought to is where you want to be buried. I realize that there are more choices than ever these days for what you want when you are dead, but truth be told, many folks still prefer something traditional.

Hudson Valley Cemetery Is Looking for Donations to Support Improvements

This is one of the reasons why a place like the Wallkill Valley Cemetery is important. There are many hundreds of cemeteries in the Hudson Valley, but do you have a plot? Most people don't until they need one. I myself, who loves to tour cemeteries, still haven't made up my mind, however, I am leaning toward the green thing.

I am bringing all of this up because the truth is some cemeteries these days are in need of assistance to keep the gates open, as they say. Last week, I came across a social media post from the Town of Montgomery that shared a letter written by the Wallkill Valley Cemetery.

The letter explains that in order to maintain the cemetery, plus do some improvements that would help with the appearance and some of the infrastructure, they need donations. The cemetery is also a quiet place that people enjoy, and the Cemetery administration would like to make a few improvements that would add to people's experience when they are visiting.

The Wallkill Valley Cemetery is on Route 52 in Walden, chances are you have passed it in your travels. It is a well-maintained, non-denominational cemetery on 70 acres with single and family plots available. They offer traditional and cremation burial services.
