Centro Asturiano Cemetery Memorial Park

Dec 2022

I visited the Memorial Park on MLK. The grounds were dry and full of weeds. There were no waterfaucets with running water. It does not appear that the sprinklers have been run in a long time. The existing shrubs are ill kept. Made my first visit in 2 years to my family's plot more sad than normal.

I know more people here than anywhere else in the world, beginning with my great grandfather, buried in 1952. They were all great people and I miss many of them a lot. The cemetery is well-kept and cared for. I had planned on being buried in Bushnell, since I'm retired from the US Army, but I think I'll try to get a space here as I am "asturiano de pura cepa", from Gijon.

I believe this is the new Centuro Asturiano Cemetery. The mostly granite markers have mostly Spanish surnames. There is a Jewish section behind the large mausoleum in the back with just a few headstones spaced widely apart. There is a Fernandez family mausoleum and a large mausoleum towards the back.I found a magnolia or maybe it was camelia tree with intoxicatingly beautiful smelling blooms.
