Riverside Cemetery Introduces Interactive Burial Search and Plot Map

The City of Mt. Pleasant is pleased to announce an upgrade to Riverside Cemetery’s mapping and search system, designed to make visiting and navigating the cemetery easier and more accessible.

Riverside Cemetery now offers an interactive plot map with burial search features. Visitors can locate specific plots and connect with their mobile device map applications for walking or driving directions directly to individual plots.

Previously, the cemetery provided a traditional map showing only plot sections. The new interactive platform offers detailed information and real-time navigation, making it easier for families and guests to find what they need.

The interactive map and burial search are available now on the City of Mt. Pleasant website. The tool works on most smartphones, providing a convenient experience whether planning ahead or navigating on-site.
