Cemetery Districts can easily fall into the category of unseen government. On the Mendocino Coast we have two Cemetery Districts with volunteer boards of directors appointed by the County Supervisors. They’re funded by a combination of property tax, donations and revenue from plot sales. The property tax is not listed on your tax bill as a line item so you might not know if you are in one.
