PPGS Cemetery Project
The PPGS El Paso County Cemetery Project began in 1996 under the presidency of Marjorie Rapp (1996-97). It continued under the presidency of Melba Mayall (1998-1999). It was completed in 2000 under the presidency of J Richards. Cemetery Project chairs were Milton D. Lake (1996-99) and Linda Masden Vixie (2000-01); scores of volunteers contributed their time and energies to this huge task, and their efforts are most appreciated.
This index contains information on all the known burial sites in El Paso County and Teller County, with more than 81,000 names included. The Evergreen Cemetery database is complete only through 1972 and Shrine of Remembrance has not given PPGS permission to index its interments.
With the exception of Evergreen Cemetery, the published databases (book and CD) were produced in a format that maintains the relative location of all burial plots, thereby preserving the integrity of cemetery layout for research purposes. The terms used to describe burial location varies for each cemetery but generally some variation of Section, Block, Row, Lot, and Plot is used.
The information in the Inscriptions, Discrepancies, and Comments fields may include discrepancies between the marker and sexton records, additional inscriptions, or comments. In addition, the undertaker, if available, is listed following the designation "U."
Evergreen Cemetery was indexed at an earlier date and does not follow these methods.
Although we've made every effort to accurately record the tombstone inscriptions and burial records, you may find errors or omissions. We'd like to correct the errors and add any pertinent additional information to future publications. Please send your correspondence to PPGS Cemetery Project, P.O. Box 1262, Colorado Springs, CO 80901 or

Funeral Homes
This list was compiled for the Memorial Gardens database, but it may be useful for anyone seeking funeral home records in Colorado. It includes Colorado funeral homes, mortuaries, and undertakers listed after "U" in the Comments field in the Memorial Gardens and other databases. We couldn't identify current locations of all Colorado funeral homes listed in the burial records; some may have been bought out or closed.
