Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery is restored and managed as a wild space.
Over time, the mound of earth left behind after a burial subsides, becoming level with the ground as nature heals. Flora returns, covering the grave, creating habitat for the biodiverse community of Prairie Creek.
Visitors can use GPS from a smartphone via the link above, or be guided by our staff to a specific grave site. Our staff is available to help you locate a grave during regular business hours (9:00am - 4:00pm M-F) or by appointment. Please call (352) 336-5910 if you require assistance.
