This is hands down a gorgeous and well-maintained cemetery. You really feel that this is a historic place when you’re here. The architecture of the statues and gravesites, the gorgeous landscaping, the nicely carved out paths, to the historic/important people buried here take you to a place where you feel strangely comforting. Our literary tour started from here, and we saw the graves of Joan Didion’s family. We even read from one of Joan’s books as if we were paying homage to everyone buried here, for the lives they’ve led, with their joys and sorrows. It’s a great place, to come and reflect, and spend a day either by yourself or with a group. A cemetery doesn’t sound too touristy, but I highly recommend this place. I believe they’ve roses inside the cemetery, which are among the best in California. They’ve a few parking spots inside as well.

Really nice cemetery, as far as cemeteries go. Founding father of Sacramento, including John Sutter I f anything is vandalized they repair it right away. Everyone that works there is extremely nice and helpful. I really enjoy coming here, it's gorgeous and well maintained. Some spots are even picturesque. We were homeless last year after being in a haboob, followed by wildfires and lost EVERYTHING. I found my peace here. Warning though. Those gates will be locked, right on time. Don't be one of the many that was locked in here, LOL

Yesterday I noticed an invasive growth of Puncturevine on Eglantine it looks beautiful but it is a nightmare and will take ove the entire grounds if not eradicated. It is easily dispersed on animals, and bicycle and car tires. People inadvertently disperse seeds into new areas.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. I've only been there during the day and it's so peaceful in there. It's also very historic and has some amazingly well done gravestones. Lots of historic figures are buried there.

This is the most amazing cemetery I have ever visited. Gorgeous grounds, all cared for by volunteers, and filled with wonderful NorCal history. A must-go if you are a cemetery hopper!

Although I personally could care less where my body is placed when the work is done, there is eminent enchantment in a cemetery maintained with this level of care.
