Family Estate
Early cemeteries in the United States were not formed with row upon row of markers in an open field as most modern cemeteries appear, but rather with large, private spaces uniquely carved out of the landscape to create family lots. Historic Riverside Cemetery recognizes the importance of providing families the option to have a final resting place together, while memorializing their family name. The newest areas of Riverside Cemetery were developed as Macon’s only modern family estate choice to accommodate today’s return to this sense of maintaining perpetual family bonds among multiple generations.
These estate lots vary in size and offer families a range of choices, including traditional and cremation burial within the same plot. Many feature a single family monument, with individual marker memorialization of family members.
