About Chinese Benevolent Association Cemetery
Plot & Interment Options
The Chinese Benevolent Association Cemetery provides interment choices that reflect both tradition and modern needs:
Plot availability is limited, and families must work with the Association to confirm eligibility and space.
Chapel & Funeral Services
The cemetery itself does not operate a chapel or funeral home. Families typically arrange services with local Chinese funeral homes or community associations, and then gather at the cemetery for the graveside service and interment.
The grounds are suited for traditional graveside ceremonies, often including cultural or spiritual rites conducted by family and community leaders.
