The history of the cemetery and the memory of those who now rest there is a gift to anyone interested in the early days of the area.
The Brooklyn-Crystal Cemetery Association is proud of all the improvements we have been able to make to our beautiful cemetery. We are so thankful to our community and our active board members for giving our cemetery the respect it deserves.
In remembrance of our long-term friend and board member, Eldon Tessman. He was a remarkable man whose passion and dedication made the Brooklyn-Crystal Cemetery the place it is today. Eldon has been called a "Community Pillar" and will be greatly missed.
History
Brooklyn-Crystal Cemetery is the resting place for many early pioneers of this area and also for their descendants. Over the years it has become quite difficult to identify the living owners of many of the grave sites. Ownership within each family passes to the surviving spouse or oldest living child or any other designated family member or person. Owners often sell or donate back to the Association grave sites which they determine will not be used by the family
