There are approximately 187 marked graves and many more may be within the grounds and outside the fence. Indians and Chinese laborers of the early days were often buried outside the cemetery boundaries. Ownership of the cemetery is questionable, but may be vested in the citizens of Palmdale. It was closed in 1979 due to incomplete record keeping. It was reopened in 1981, when the Palmdale Kiwanis accepted responsibility for keeping accurate records.
Burials are limited to people who have relatives buried there.
