Earth has no sorrow . . .
That Heaven cannot heal . . .

A not-for-profit, non-sectarian cemetary under the direction of the First Presbyterian Church of Washingtonville, the 10-acre Washingtonville Cemetary is located in the heart of the village and has its main entrance on North Street. 

A drive down the tree-lined lane brings you into the old section of the cemetary where you will find generations of burial sites of the ordinary dedicated families that have made Washingtonville their home and their final resting place.  The names on the monuments reflect the tapestry of people who built this community.  Some simple, others ornate, the monuments - made from sandstone, zinc, granite and natural rock - grace the rolling tiers with their architctural styles.

A focal point in the cemetary is Soldier's Monument, a tribute to the many veterans who have made this cemetary their final resting place.  The inscription states:

Peace
Erected to the memory of the Soldiers
of the Civil War
by the will of
John Greene
A veteran who dies December 19, 1913
aged 76 years

Fidelity
Charity and Loyalty
