About Us

SCHOOLING CEMETERY

SCHOOLING CEMETERY is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the past, educating the present, and inspiring the future.

We believe cemeteries are more than resting places — they are outdoor classrooms, historical archives, and sacred spaces that tell the stories of generations before us. Through preservation, education, and community engagement, we work to protect these spaces and transform them into meaningful learning environments.

Our Mission

Our mission is to safeguard historic cemeteries while using them as powerful tools for education, cultural awareness, and community connection.

We strive to:

  • Preserve and restore neglected and historic burial grounds

  • Provide educational programs about local history, genealogy, and heritage

  • Promote respect, stewardship, and responsible care of memorial sites

  • Engage youth and community members in hands-on learning experiences

What We Do

Preservation & Restoration

We partner with local communities to restore headstones, document burial sites, and maintain cemetery grounds with dignity and care.

Education & Research

We develop workshops, guided tours, and school programs that explore history, genealogy, cultural traditions, and the stories of those laid to rest.

Community Engagement

Through volunteer days, public events, and collaborative projects, we foster a sense of shared responsibility and pride in preserving our collective history.

Why It Matters

Cemeteries hold the stories of families, veterans, leaders, and everyday individuals who shaped our communities. When neglected, these stories risk being lost forever.

By combining education with preservation, SCHOOLING CEMETERY ensures that history remains accessible, tangible, and deeply human.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every cemetery is respected as a place of learning, remembrance, and community connection — not forgotten, but valued.
