POPLAR HILL CEMETERY South Dixie Drive
Poplar Hill Cemetery was established on October 28, 1895. It became a municipal cemetery in 1968 when the general area was annexed by the City of Vandalia. The cemetery is now maintained by the City’s Public Works and Parks Departments. The cemetery records of ownership and burials are kept on file in the Development & Engineering Services Department. Each owner will receive a Certificate of Burial Rights, issued by the City and signed by the city manager.
