Things to do in San Diego, California (CA): The Best Cemeteries

November 25, 2021 Milan Banda

San Diego embodies laid-back California culture, complete with a Boardwalk, surfing communities, and outstanding Mexican food. Breathe in the fresh ocean air at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, then gobble down a fresh fish taco at a La Jolla seafood joint. The naval aircrafts at the USS Midway Museum will have you standing at attention. A free Sunday concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the perfect way to unwind after a Saturday night bar-hop in the thumping Gaslamp Quarter.

El Campo Santo Cemetery

Reviewed By CRW1987

The story of this cemetery is disgraceful. The city did not to right by these people. The forensic department had to come out and help identify burial sites. A lot of places only have a small pvc markers poking out of the ground for body parts that were found by GPR machine. Most of the sites do not have names, but simple crosses or stone circles to mark where some are buried. Some have iron fences and descriptors, very rarely you find a photo. The original grounds extend past the restaurants next door and down the next block across the street. You can see grave site markers in the sidewalk and in the road marking where they have been paved over and almost forgotten. Some people report having their car alarms go off, where they parked next to or on top of a grave. The story of some of the interred are captivating. Very beautiful old cemetery to those who appreciate history and the past.

San Gabriel Cemetery

The San Gabriel Cemetery and its next-door neighbor, The Church of Our Saviour, share an early common history. Both began on land originally donated by Benjamin Davis Wilson. A bronze statue of General George S. Patton can be found on the beautiful campus of the Church of Our Saviour. It appears he is guarding the historic San Gabriel Cemetery, where his parents and grandparents rest.
