About
the CRC
The CRC is a group of independent
volunteers formally organized on May 22,
2006 to restore five historic and sacred
cemeteries, located on the corner of
West Main Street and Waverly Avenue
within the Village of Patchogue.
These cemeteries include the Lake View,
Rice, Old Episcopal, Union, and Gerard
Cemetery.
Our Mission
To promote the history, the monuments
and the natural beauty of the cemeteries
in a park-like setting, for the benefit
of the descendants of those who rest in
these cemeteries and for the residents
of and the visitors to the Village of
Patchogue
To secure the restoration and
preservation of the burial grounds, and
to provide new landscape as well as
architectural features that meet the
needs of generations to come.
