About Riverview Cemetery

Riverview Cemetery is a well-maintained non-sectarian cemetery established in 1875 by the Riverview Cemetery Association.

This quaint cemetery occupies one of the most picturesque locations in the Twin Cities, high atop the wooded river bluffs that fall away toward South St. Paul. It also includes a small chapel that was built in 1893, which now serves as the cemetery office. Riverview is located on ten diverse acres with upright monuments and grave markers, and now includes columbariums that are designed to meet the expectations of the growing number of families choosing cremation.

The Riverview Board of Directors controls the operations of the cemetery and is elected by the Crown of Life Evangelical Lutheran Congregation. Any questions or concerns regarding the maintenance of the cemetery that cannot be directly addressed by the superintendent will be presented to the cemetery board.
