The Pajaro Valley Public Cemetery District is seeking more land for burials and needs to expand.Since the beginning of the year, there have been 241 people buried at the Pajaro Valley Public Cemetery. Management did tell us that a small number have been COVID-19 related.It's not an issue people enjoy discussing -- a need for more cemetery space -- but those working in the industry believe there is a need for more."We're landlocked right now, this is all we have," said Bob Tanner, Pajaro Valley Public Cemetery District Trustee Chair.If you live in Watsonville and pay property taxes, you are likely to be buried at one of the five Pajaro Valley public cemeteries."Anybody else that lives in the county cannot be buried here at all," Tanner said.The district is now down to its last block of land and its other sites are not far behind.The Public Cemetery off Highway 152 has about 3-to-4 years before it reaches capacity."The cemetery's been filling up quickly and we only have a certain amount of room. So, we're getting this block developed here" said, Nolan Rackley, groundskeeper.Since June, crews have been preparing this section for 1,164 new plots."We need to find cemetery land somebody that's willing to sell it's obviously, we need like a big, at least 15-to-18 plot with well water on it that we'd be willing to buy," Tanner said.With future expansions, the district hopes to provide use to other communities in the Aptos-Rio Del Mar areas.One owner told me that during the pandemic, they received many inquiries about pre-arranging plots for themselves and family members.
