By adopting a plot you:

Support the cemetery
An Adopt-a-Plot purchase helps to fiscally support the cemetery. Your purchase is for the benefit of Historic Linden Grove Cemetery & Arboretum and is deductible for Federal Income Tax purposes.

Preserve and develop our history
Learning and sharing Adopt-a-Plot stories can help build and celebrate our rich local culture.

Connect multi-generations of our community
Engaging with Adopt-a-Spot can help us learn about our shared experiences and find connections between generations.

Spend time outside
Visiting your plot is a respectful way to honor someone’s life. It is also a way to actively enjoy our city’s green space and enjoy outdoor recreation.
