We now have a local contractor, Floyd Craig, who is making natural burial caskets. He uses natural Tillson pine. Tillson Oak or Cedar are available on request. The caskets are made by using biscuit joint construction. The caskets are milled at his private lumber mill located approx. 1/4 mile from the cemetery. The Cemetery Association has nothing to do with the sale of these caskets. The sale of these caskets iarea private sale between contractor Floyd Craig and the customer. Mr. Craig can be reached at 845-658-9181 or [email protected]. Any other natural burial casket companies who wish to have their product mentioned here may feel free to do so by contacting the Rosendale Cemetery at www.rosendalecemetery.com.

The Town Highway crew setting the Historic Natural Burial Section corner marker for us. This marker is native to Rosendale and was procured from the famous A.J. Snyder Cement mine property. In 1869, Andrew Snyder purchased the property for the cemetery and donated it to the recently formed Rosendale Plains Cemetery Association. In 1953, he erected the buildings and entrance wall.
