We want to bring everyone up to date on what has been happening at the Cemetery this past year:

We are pleased to announce that Hugh Burt will be joining the Board of Directors. He has moved back to Taos full time and his energy and enthusiasm will be a great asset to the Board.
Grounds clean up and tree pruning has been ongoing. Fence repair and major tree pruning is planned for the near future.
There is one remaining memorial bench available. If anyone is interested in purchasing this in honor of a loved one, please contact Thom Wheeler. The cost including a plaque and installation is $1,500.
Dr. Kellie Harris donated over 12,000 paving bricks to the cemetery last year. Walkways are being installed.
An informational brochure has been developed and is enclosed with this newsletter.

There are several projects that we would like to pursue in the upcoming year. A $10,000 donation from the Theodore Schmults fund held with the Taos Community Foundation will be available in the near future to help with these projects.

Graveling the driveways
Fence Repair
Tree trimming

Community Involvement

We are not going to have a formal Mother’s Day clean up at the cemetery this year. We would like to ask everyone to go out before Mothers Day and remove out of season or worn flowers and decorations from their individual plots.

Annual Maintenance Fees

Annually, we request at least $25.00 per burial gravesite in every plot be submitted to Sierra Vista Cemetery to maintain the premises. When you send your payment, please describe which sites you are paying on and who the owner/family of the site is. Remember, this is an annual maintenance fee and very much needed for the support of the cemetery.

Make checks payable to Sierra Vista Cemetery and mail to:

PO Box 2103
Taos, NM 87571

If you've paid for perpetual maintenance ($500): You have perpetual care on your burial spaces, yet all contributions toward the upkeep of the cemetery are greatly appreciated!

Thank You!
- The Board of Sierra Vista Cemetery
