Lemoore Cemetery District announces Sunflower Fields Cemetery now open; located just outside city limits

Sunflower Fields, located at 9660 18th Avenue, is outside the City of Lemoore. The district's office moved to the new site in late 2018, and according to Cemetery District Manager Rich Rhoads, the cemetery is open for burials.

Rhoads indicated that the center section of the cemetery would be the initial area ready for burials.  This area has a capacity of 500 full graves along with over 100 in-ground cremation graves. 

According to Rhoads, there haven’t been any burials yet and that there is still room at the existing Lemoore Cemetery located within the city limits. “We just opened April 1,” he said. “We moved out here at the end of the year.”

Sunflower will also have 145 above ground niches for cremations.  Preneed purchases are currently available at Grangeville, Lemoore and Sunflower Fields.  District officials recommend scheduling appointments. Please call (559) 924-3439 to speak with Kari or Terri. Office hours are 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Summer hours are 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
