Learn more about the City cemetery

Did you know that the Bloomington City cemetery is one of just seven city-owned and maintained cemeteries in the Twin Cities metro area?  The cemetery offers low-cost burial options for residents and non-residents. Bloomington residents and their families, current and former, receive preferred pricing. Many burial plots and columbaria niches are currently available.

The City Clerk’s Office maintains cemetery records, sells lots and schedules interments, and Public Works maintains the grounds.

For pricing, rules and regulations, available lots and niches, burial information or to make an appointment to purchase, visit blm.mn/cemetery.

A little history

Established in 1856 by Oak Grove Presbyterian Church, the Bloomington City Cemetery was acquired by the City of Bloomington in 1864. A portion of the cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places.
