Welcome

Exeter Cemetery District

The Exeter Public Cemetery District owns and operates three public cemeteries serving the communities of Exeter, Farmersville, Lemon Cove, Lindcove, Outside Creek, Yokohl Valley, and surrounding areas. These facilities include Exeter Cemetery in Exeter, Deep Creek Cemetery in Farmersville, and Hamilton Cemetery located near Avenue 310 and Road 204 between Exeter and Woodlake.

The District is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the Tulare County Board of Supervisors. Day-to-day operations are managed by a full-time Superintendent and support staff who are responsible for coordinating burial services, maintaining cemetery grounds and infrastructure, assisting families and funeral homes, managing district records, and ensuring the continued operation and upkeep of all district facilities. To better serve the public, the District is available for the scheduling and coordination of burial services six days per week, Monday through Saturday.

The Exeter Public Cemetery District operates independently and does not receive direct operating funds from the County of Tulare, the City of Exeter, or other local government entities. Funding for the District is derived primarily from revenues generated through burial services, plot sales, endowment care contributions, and other cemetery-related services, as well as a limited special district property tax assessment. These funding sources support the District’s daily operations, maintenance of cemetery grounds and infrastructure, and the long-term preservation of its facilities for future generations.

The District is committed to providing respectful, professional, and compassionate service while honoring the memories of those entrusted to its care and preserving its cemeteries for future generations.

The District Board of Directors latest Agenda is available on the Documents page of this website as well as below.

IMPORTANT NOTICE – EXETER PUBLIC CEMETERY DISTRICT: August 10th 2026

The Exeter Public Cemetery District recently experienced an office fire on 8/7/2026 around 1 am that caused significant damage to approximately half the building at the Exeter Cemetery.

Due to the damage, the office will be temporarily closed for several weeks, or longer, while repairs and cleanup are completed. The District restrooms were also affected by the fire and will remain closed until further notice.

We are very thankful to report that nothing inside our fire safe was damaged. This includes important records and historical documents dating back to the beginning of the District.

Although the office is closed, the cemetery is still operating and available to serve our community. Our regular office phone number remains active and is connected directly to the Superintendent, who will gladly assist families, funeral homes, and members of the public at any time of the day.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will do our absolute best to accommodate everyone during this time. The District is not soliciting anything from the community, other than moral support, nor does the District wish for members of the community to take it upon themselves to organize fundraisers for the District.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we work through the damage, and process, of restoring our office.
