Who We Are
The Big Pine Cemetery District is made up of dedicated members from the town of Big Pine, relying on the united support of the entire community to maintain a dignified, picturesque, and deeply historically significant asset that will continue to be cherished for generations to come.
Board of Trustees
The Big Pine Cemetery District Board of Trustees is appointed by the Inyo County Board of Supervisors to administrate both the Crocker and Woodman cemeteries through budgeting, maintaining, and improving operation. This governing body plays a crucial role in ensuring that they are managed effectively and responsibly. By overseeing the budget, the Board of Trustees can allocate resources where they are most needed, whether for maintenance/repair tasks or for implementing improvements. Their dedication to upholding the standards of these historical sites helps preserve them for future generations to appreciate and honor.
