Please Note that the Listings in this Index are Only for Obituaries that have been found to date. It does not include
all those that are listed with readable inscriptions; therefore, we have not yet cross referenced them to the tombstone pages.  Also, some of those listed on the Obituary pages may not have been buried at the City Cemetery.  You might want to consult the
www.davidsoncocemeterysurvey.com for further research on some of the names you seek.
Please use the SEARCH feature at the bottom of each page to locate those listed in both
directories on this website.

City Cemetery Obituary Project

The Nashville City Cemetery Association is very much indebted to the research efforts of Sarah Armistead.  Sarah has spent many hours working with nearly illegible microfilms at the Archives to provide us with the listings here.  She plans on continuing the good work, so refer back to this page to see any new listings.

There are at least two ways you can help this project:

  • If you have copies of obituaries or funeral invitations of people buried at the City Cemetery, we hope you will share them with us.  Please send clear copies to the NCCA, P. O. Box 150733, Nashville, TN, 37215-0733.  If you have questions or concerns about how to do this, please e-mail them to us at info@thenashvillecitycemetery.org.

  • Sarah Armistead has volunteered to train two lucky people to find and read obituaries from nineteenth century newspapers on microfilm.  Sarah says, "Reading the old newspapers is reading history as it happens.  It is my favorite thing to do at the Archives."  If you wish to volunteer, e-mail Fletch Coke, NCCA Board Member, at fletch2@bellsouth.net and she will notify Sarah.
