Projects Completed

Projects which have taken place since 2014:

  • For historical purposes, the photographing of every tombstone and marker in the Cemetery.
  • The purchase of a software program specifically designed to manage the Cemetery’s data, consolidating 130 years of record keeping.
  • Research of Veterans buried in our Cemetery, which increased the total count from 80 to 190. On Memorial Day weekend each year, crosses and flags are placed on those graves, with the help of the VFW and community members.
  • The design and installation of the entrance sign.
  • The creation of the Cemetery’s own website: QuilceneCemetery.org
  • An Eagle Scout project which leveled and / or straightened 25 newer / smaller tombstones.
  • A professional restoration of 40 of the oldest and most fragile tombstones which were tilted or unstable.
  • The purchase and placement of simple tombstones for 92 graves which were previously unmarked; these individuals had dates of death prior to 1995.
  • The purchase and placement of simple metal markers for 35 graves which were previously unmarked; these individuals had dates of death since 1995.
  • The purchase of two portable tents for use during burials.
  • Removal of the large dirt pile at the south edge of the Cemetery.
