Our Mission
Kensico Cemetery was organized as a rural cemetery corporation on January 19, 1889. It’s mission, then and now, is to sell lots and graves to the public for the purpose of burial of the human dead and to maintain the grounds in memory of all those buried. Every service provided is cemetery related which includes opening graves for interments, general cemetery maintenance, special cemetery care and the installation of foundations for memorials. We are, by law, independent of funeral directors and memorial dealers and do not offer their services. Our focus is simple, cemetery service and cemetery care.
Regulated By
Kensico Cemetery is a non-sectarian, not-for-profit membership corporation. The statutory law regulating our operation is found in the New York State Not-For-Profit Corporation Law which vests jurisdiction in a Cemetery Board consisting of the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Commissioner of Health and the Director of the Division of Cemeteries. Rules, regulations and charges for service rendered are subject to approval by the State Cemetery Board. Lot prices are set by the Board of Directors and are posted and filed with the Division of Cemeteries.

Their job is to achieve the interest of its members in perpetuating a successful, financially sound organization.
