Join the City of Sonoma as we embark on a journey to honor the past and preserve the future of our beloved City's three cherished cemeteries: Mountain Cemetery, Valley Cemetery, and Veteran's Cemetery.

Our city's cemeteries hold the stories and memories of those who've shaped our community. Now, it's our turn to come together and ensure these sacred grounds remain a source of solace, respect, and reflection for generations to come.
