Listing Project

About the Listing Project

This listing project has been a volunteer effort and is being made available to the Gatesville Public Library.  The mission of the project is for information to be made available to as many people as are interested at no cost other than incidental costs of printing at the library.  

Restland Cemetery is currently divided into seven major sections labeled A through G. with signs indicating their locations.  This particular listing of cemetery grave site markers differs from previous listings primarily by including the plat location of each grave marker.  A lot plat for most sections is on page two of the spreadsheet on this website.  For all sections except F there are 8 grave sites platted within each numbered lot.

How to Use the Section Diagrams

Using the Section Diagrams for each section, find the lot number and the general location of the lot within the section. This should narrow the search. There are ground surface level markers designating lot numbers implanted at lot corners along the hearse roads These are small, round concrete markers with a brass tag stamped with the lot number. It is common for these navigation markers to become overgrown with grass. Enough markers should be visible for visitors using the available plats to find their family members.

Disclaimer

Over the 60+ years since the origination of Restland Cemetery there have been many people involved in placement of graves.  Due to misunderstanding of platting, failures in measurement, special exceptions and just plain errors there are several instances of grave sites not in accordance with the original plat. Many grave site locations within Restland are sold but not occupied.  This listing is of grave markers only and is not intended to indicate availability of grave sites.

Inquiries of grave site availability should be directed to the Gatesville city offices.
