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

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.

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.

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:

Another Option: Perpetual maintenance fee - In lieu of paying annually you may choose a one-time fee of $500, to contribute to the costs of cemetery operations ^*. This is a per burial space fee.

^* Operations include, but are not limited to: general maintenance, repairs, cemetery improvements, security, insurance, water, garbage pick up, caretaking, opening/closing gate, planting, and promotion.

Thank You!
