SUPPORT THE NEW MEMORIAL GARDEN ON POTRERO HILL.
Project 0: Help build the first modern San Francisco Cemetery 2011 by signing this petition.
At one time, there were probably more than 200,000 graves dug - some more than once - for each of the deceased residents in San Francisco before the year 1900. This was when the Board of Supervisors voted to stop all burials in The City and County of San Francisco, California. The exact number of the interred citizens within The City boundaries is hard to figure because most of the records were destroyed in the fires that resulted from the Great Earthquake of April 18, 1906.
Today we announce an opportunity to bring back a cemetery to SF.
There use to be numerous locations throughout The City where different religious groups and organizations bought land for the interment of members. There were Catholic, Chinese, Jewish and Protestant Cemeteries covering many neighborhoods of San Francisco.
This new memorial garden will be located in the area between Arkansas Street and Wisconsin Street, with a future entrance at 19th street on Potrero Hill, SF.
It will be non-denominational, all-inclusive, memorializing all mammals.
Currently it is illegal to actually cremate anyone or any mammal in town or bury anyone/mammal in the ground in San Francisco, California. The only exception today is the San Francisco National Cemetery/The Presidio.
Therefore this cemetery will be conceptual in nature, a memorial garden for the local community to reflect and remember.
