EASTVIEW CEMETERY
Currently, East View Cemetery encompasses a total of 29 sections across 36.6 acres. Within the older sections, one can find several misaligned headstones and unmarked graves. Over the years, efforts have been made to measure, plot, and record the various sections to enhance the city’s records and optimize the available burial space. Since the mid-1950s, several roads and pathways have been established to serve as dividers between each section. Additionally, a “meditation garden” was constructed in the heart of East View Cemetery in 2016. Notably, East View Cemetery is the only cemetery owned by the city.
Section Map
Map links below correspond with the sections shown above for a more detailed view of lot ownership. The maps do not show where individual burials are, but will give you an idea of where a specific lot is located and the owner on record. Some lots and grave spaces are sold between private individuals, or heirs of deceased owners and do not properly notify THE CITY OF UNION CITY to reflect the change in ownership. Because of this, the accuracy of these maps are based on the information we currently have on file as of the date indicated. Last Map Update For This Website: June, 2026.
