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 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.
