About Cemetery Administration
The County of El Dorado oversees the maintenance and operation of 17 cemeteries. However, there are more than 100 cemeteries and burial sites in the County. Most are old pioneer cemeteries, and interments have not been performed in these cemeteries in many decades. In addition to the County-operated cemeteries, there are several private, fraternal, and religious cemeteries, and two cemeteries organized as Special Districts: Happy Homestead in South Lake Tahoe and the Kelsey Cemetery on the West Slope. (Click on Cemetery Menu, above, for more information on these cemeteries.)
