The California IOOF Cemetery Directory is a volunteer effort to identify, document, and preserve information about the current and historic cemeteries of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows throughout California.
Many Odd Fellows cemeteries have remained under lodge ownership, while others have become cemetery districts, nonprofit associations, municipal cemeteries, or private organizations. This directory attempts to document those histories and provide a central point of reference for researchers, genealogists, Odd Fellows, and the public.
The directory is intended to complement—not replace—individual cemetery websites. Whenever possible, visitors are encouraged to visit each cemetery's own website for current information, burial searches, office hours, and services.
This website is currently a prototype. Research is ongoing, and information is continually being reviewed and updated as additional documentation becomes available.
If you have information about an Odd Fellows cemetery in California, including historical records, photographs, corrections, or contact information, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
This directory is built around a simple idea: preserve historical information while respecting local stewardship. Each cemetery remains the authoritative source for its own operations, while this directory serves as a statewide index to help people discover and learn about California's rich Odd Fellows cemetery heritage.
