Donations

The Elysian Society relies entirely on donations to support its work that includes funeral services as well as maintenance, expansion, and improvement of the cemetery grounds. The construction of a new pavilion to host funeral services has created an even greater need for donor support. You can contribute using Zeffy, Zelle or by check.

Make a Cemetery Pavilion Construction Tax-deductible Donation using Zeffy, our online payment partner

Your gift to the Pavilion helps create a welcoming, outdoor space for rest, reflection, and learning 🌿

Over the past two years, funeral services have steadily increased. To accommodate this growing need, construction of a permanent facility at the cemetery has begun. A large circular platform, with seating for up to one hundred guests and a spectacular view to the north, is already in place. A pavilion rising from this platform will allow services to be held year-round, in all weather conditions.

Funds for architectural design, engineering, and construction of the platform were provided through the generosity of Michael Meeks, who left a bequest to the Elysian Society in his will. Additional funding is now needed to complete the pavilion. Gifts of any size will help bring this project to fruition and benefit all who use the cemetery.
