Hoy Sun Memorial Cemetery - Colma

Hoy Sun Memorial Cemetery, located in Colma, California, is a historically significant burial ground dedicated to the Chinese-American community. Established in the early 20th century, it serves as a resting place for members of the Hoy Sun Ning Yung Benevolent Association, an organization that supported Chinese immigrants, particularly those from the Hoy Sun district of Guangdong Province, China. The cemetery reflects the cultural and spiritual traditions of its community, with gravestones often inscribed in Chinese characters and featuring symbolic designs.

Colma, known as the "City of Souls" due to its numerous cemeteries, became a focal point for burials after San Francisco enacted laws in the early 1900s restricting cemeteries within city limits. Many Chinese-Americans were relocated to Colma, and Hoy Sun Memorial Cemetery played an essential role in preserving their cultural heritage and providing a dignified resting place for future generations.
