Page Content

​Alachua County Community Support Services, in collaboration with community faith-based organizations, invites the community to attend "Honoring the Departed" on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025, at 2 p.m. at Evergreen Cemetery (401 SE 21st Ave., Gainesville).

Honoring the Departed is a ceremony to memorialize indigent individuals who were unclaimed, abandoned, or unknown. The memorial is an opportunity to honor those who were buried with no service. The ceremony will consist of a special invocation and the acknowledgment of those who passed away in 2024.

Watch a short video from last year's Honoring the Departed ceremony.
