What Lancaster Cemetery Inc does
Mission
The mission of the lancaster cemetery is to offer space for burial and to maintain the grounds and monuments of one of pennsylvania's oldest, non- profit cemetery companies consisting of over 20,000 gravesites, and unlimited memorial sites and to promote the history and monument art of the site for the education and enjoyment of the general public.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The lancaster cemetery conducts the sale of gravesites and memorial sites and provides burial services. In addition, the lancaster cemetery maintains perpetual care of all historical and recently utilized burial lots while striving to maintain a peaceful, secure and attractive sanctuary for families and loved-ones of those buried there.
The lancaster cemetery strives to preserve this victorian-era, and one of pennsylvania's oldest non-profit cemetery organizations as well as the natural and artistic relics and monuments enshrined therein. In addition, the cemetery strives to educate the general public regarding the cemetery's historical significance and to maintain a peaceful, secure and attractive sanctuary for families, decendants, and interested parties of those buried there. The number and species of trees on the cemetery acreage have qualified as an arboretum.
The 2 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $541k to $738k (+36%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 9% · 2020 32%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
