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.

**Important Public Announcement**
Here is the 2024 cemetery landscape scalping and overseeding schedule:
  • No Mowing:There has been a change to our mowing schedule. The District will resume mowing the week of October 7th.
    Please note this change, as we were originally scheduled to restart mowing the week of October 14th. We apologize for this change. Unfortunately, the unseasonably high temperatures has caused our grass to grow faster than expected. We need to cut back the nutsedge or it will choke out the new rye grass that is sprouting. The next scheduled mowing will be Tuesday October 8th (Sections 1-18, 24 & 30) and Thursday October 10th (19-23 & 26-29), as we return to our normal mowing schedule. Please remove your memorial items the day before scheduled mowing.
If you have any questions regarding this post, or the overseeding schedule in general, please call cemetery staff at (760) 398-3221.
