Coachella Valley Public Cemetery District

“An Endowment Care District”

Welcome to the Coachella Valley Public Cemetery District. Our goal is to provide our community with exceptional service, maintaining our cemetery as a dignified and respectful resting place for loved ones.

The Coachella Valley Public Cemetery District is an independent California Special District formed in 1927.  The District serves the public cemetery needs of an area encompassing nearly 3,444 square miles of Riverside County, including the cities of Coachella, Indio, La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, as well as parts of Rancho Mirage and unincorporated Riverside County.  The purpose of the District is to offer affordable interment services for our County residents.

This website can be used to locate loved ones, access information about upcoming interment services, special events and District policy, as well as schedule an appointment with staff. If you are unable to find the information you require, please reach out to us during office hours and we will be happy to assist you.

District offices will be closed March 28th for one hour from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. for an all-employee safety meeting. Normal operations will resume when the meeting concludes.

The District has implemented a warning notification system to alert families when their memorial items are out of compliance with District policy. These color-coded cards will be attached to memorial items alerting them of specific issues with their memorial arrangement.  If you receive a notification, please take the required action to remedy the issue.  If you have any questions regarding the notice, please visit the front office and they will be happy to work with you on resolution.
