Historical Information

Boynton Memorial Park originally was not owned by the city, but was a vacant piece of land where people were burying their family members. The property was acquired in the 1950's, from the developer of High Point.
 

In the earlier (eastern) sections of the cemetery, the gravestones are all standing upright. In the latter (western) sections, the headstones are all ground level so that maintenance is safer and more efficient.

There are some unmarked graves that go back to the early part of the last century. There are no records from before the time the City acquired the property, except by reviewing the existing gravestones.

The newer sections of the cemetery are all platted and gravesites are sold via the City Clerk's Office. A portion of the money is used for perpetual care (the Perpetual Care Fund) and is used to maintain the park. There is a children's section of the park with a standing monument in the middle that represents all the children in that section. The statue was designed by artist Conrad Pickel, who had a studio in town.

Record keeping is handled by the City Clerk's Office. The Parks Division is responsible for all normal grounds maintenance as well as grave opening and closings and mausoleum entombments.
