Welcome to Big Pine Crocker Cemetery, one of two cemeteries owned and operated by the Trustees of the Big Pine Cemetery District. The earliest burials are believed to have been made in the late 1860. James C. and Edwin M. Crocker gave the cemetery property for a token five-dollar gold piece to Oliver Allerton, Alice Ober, and B.W. Thomas, as Trustees for the people of the town of Big Pine on May 2, 1892. Many of the early wooden headstones and crosses have been lost to wind, rain, snow, earthquakes, and floods resulting in almost 200 unmarked graves. A “Pioneer Memorial” has been established to honor those who lie in graves whose markers simply state, “Unknown but not forgotten.” In 2022, the Big Pine Cemetery District designated the Inyo County Hospital and Farm Burial Site to acknowledge the remains of people who were buried at the farm cemetery in the early 1900.
