Chickasaw County Cemetery List
This page represents significant research to identify all of the cemeteries existing in Chickasaw County in 2023. If you are aware of other sites or other names for these sites, please contact the County Coordinator. A list of historical cemeteries is also included at the bottom of this list.
We are seeking to verify which of these cemeteries qualify for pioneer status (no more than 12 burials in last 50 years per Iowa statute). Most likely candidates (in the opinion of the county coordinator) are shown with a blue background color below.
An active Pioneer Cemetery Commission works to restore these pioneer cemeteries. They have restored the Cagley, Maple Grove, North, Pearl Rock, St. Patrick's Catholic, West, and other cemeteries.
There are two very nice external websites for cemeteries in the county - for the Oak Hill and Greenwood Cemeteries. Take a look at - Oak Hill Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery .
