Historical Note: Sunrise Cemetery was established when the need for a second city owned cemetery became evident in the late 1950’s. At that time the city’s original Sunset Cemetery had few remaining lots left for purchase.  The first two burial dates are 14 April 1964 and 01 June 1966.  Currently Sunrise is the primary cemetery in use as no further lots are available in Sunset Cemetery
