How many cemeteries are in San Francisco's city limits

2

Before the City of San Francisco voted to stop burials within city limits in 1900, there were at least 30 cemeteries in use or abandoned here—including one right on the spot of what is now Dolores Park.

Today we have only two cemeteries left inside city limits, the San Francisco National Cemetery in the Presidio and the Mission Dolores Cemetery in the Castro.

Most of the deceased residents previously buried in SF were moved to cemeteries in San Mateo County between 1900-1940, to the town that would eventually be known as Colma, which now carries the distinction of having more dead residents (two million and counting) than living (1,500).

To save space and protect public health, San Francisco banned all burials within city limits in 1902. Most of the city's cemeteries were moved to neighboring Colma, a nearby town where the dead outnumber the living residents by thousands.
