It's no secret that our work never ends.

At Elmwood Cemetery, every stone tells a story. These grounds are not just the final resting place for thousands—they are a living museum of Memphis’s rich and complicated history. Veterans, visionaries, civil rights leaders, and everyday citizens who helped shape our city rest here beneath ancient oaks and winding paths. Preserving this sacred space takes more than care—it takes courage.

It’s no secret that historic preservation demands blood, sweat, and tears. But it also requires something more: the support of people like you. Every restored headstone, every repaired fence, every carefully cleared path is made possible through generous donations from those who understand the importance of honoring the past.

Our work isn’t easy. Weather, time, and limited resources are constant obstacles. But we face them head-on, knowing that we’re not alone. We are sustained by the belief that there are people—people who love Memphis, people who value its history—who are willing to stand with us.

Elmwood Cemetery is not only a burial ground. It is a monument to the resilience, struggles, and triumphs of this remarkable city. By supporting our efforts, you help ensure that the stories of those buried here are not forgotten, that future generations can walk these grounds and feel the echoes of history beneath their feet.

Help us continue the vital work of preserving Elmwood. Your donation is more than a gift—it’s an act of remembrance, a gesture of courage, and a commitment to keeping Memphis’s legacy alive.

Give today. History depends on it.
