Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Half Moon Bay

“Located in a rural area four miles south of Half Moon Bay, Purissima was one of the earliest settlements on the San Mateo County coast. Spanish soldiers founded the little hamlet before 1820 as an outpost for Mission Dolores in San Francisco, about twenty-five miles to the north. The lush land, ample water, and sunny climate supported the farms that supplied the mission with food. The town grew and, from the late 1840's, after the American annexation of California, continued to prosper as an agricultural community for many years. The first lumber mill was built here and the area noted for its climate and beautiful scenery eventually became somewhat of a resort for pleasure seekers. As competition from the nearby town of San Benito (now Half Moon Bay) increased, the once-thriving village of Purissima began to fade into obscurity. The town's structures were destroyed by winter storms or salvaged for building materials used elsewhere on the coast. Today, nothing remains of the town except the foundation of a one-story schoolhouse and this old overgrown pioneer cemetery marked by crumbling tombstones with nearly unreadable epitaphs.“
