Bloomfield Cemetery Expands Two Acres Following 2024 Family Land Donation
A family land donation added two acres to Bloomfield Cemetery, expanding burial capacity by hundreds of plots near U.S. Highway 550.
A land donation from the Cedarholm and McClure family has added two acres to Bloomfield Cemetery, expanding one of Bloomfield's historic burial grounds and creating capacity for hundreds of new interments near U.S. Highway 550.
The donation, completed in 2024, set the expansion in motion. The added acreage represents a meaningful increase in the cemetery's footprint, with the new land expected to accommodate hundreds of additional burials as demand for burial space in the Bloomfield area grows over time.
Bloomfield Cemetery's proximity to U.S. Highway 550 has long made it a recognizable landmark for residents traveling through San Juan County's northern corridor. The Cedarholm and McClure family's contribution preserves that presence while extending the cemetery's capacity to serve the community for generations ahead.
The specifics of site preparation and a timeline for when the expanded section will be ready to receive burials had not been fully detailed as of this week.
