Collection: Lone Tree Cemetery - Hayward
Lone Tree Cemetery, located in Hayward, California, has a long history dating back to its establishment in 1868. The cemetery was named after a solitary tree that once stood prominently on the site, a landmark visible for miles. It has since become an enduring part of the community, serving as the final resting place for generations of families, local pioneers, and military veterans. Over the years, it has grown into a peaceful and beautifully maintained parkland, offering a serene setting for reflection and remembrance.
The cemetery spans 42 acres of rolling hills, providing picturesque views of the Bay Area. It offers a range of burial and memorial options, including traditional in-ground plots, mausoleums, cremation niches, and a scattering garden. A section dedicated to veterans honors those who served in the armed forces, and the site regularly hosts Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies to pay tribute to their sacrifices.
