Our Mission
Friends of Rhinebeck Cemetery, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization working to promote and optimize the history, design and ecology of the cemeteries under the Town of Rhinebeck’s jurisdiction; Rhinebeck Cemetery on Route 9 and Mill Road, Kirchehoek Cemetery (Wey’s Crossing) on Route 9; and Kerk Hof Cemetery in Rhinecliff. Nestled into the natural beauty of the Hudson River Valley, these gems are rich with national, state and local histories, architectural treasures, natural heritage, and remembrances of the dead.
We exist purely for the benefit of these cemeteries, promoting their beauty and legacy by raising money for restoration, conservation and education efforts – things not included in the Town’s cemetery budget. Current and future projects for the Rhinebeck Cemetery, in particular, include restoration of the stone walls, preservation of the entry gates, repair of historic grave markers, biannual walking tours, establishment of a memorial tree program in support of a comprehensive green plan, and habitat restoration in the newly formed natural burial ground.
