The links below are for the index of all presently known Breckinridge County cemeteries.
The information was graciously supplied by Karen Schafer and Fay Minter of the Breckinridge
County Archives in Hardinsburg, as well as those individuals on the Breckinridge County
Cemetery Board. They, in conjunction with many "angels in genealogy", went around the
county for many months tracking down cemeteries and getting more information which will
lead in the eventual clean up and restoration of many cemeteries in the county. It has also
allowed for the beginning of a more precise way locate the cemeteries, which will include using
GPS coordinates.The index represents a little over 400 of the nearly 600-700 cemeteries in
Breckinridge County. Hopefully over time more cemeteries will not only be found but
photographed for future preservation purposes and possibly restoration purposes.

Below is a future link for names of many of the cemeteries that were known under
different names. Some newspapers may list a name for a cemetery that no longer exists, but
hopefully this listing will help take care of updating all cemetery names.

Under the cemetery index table is a box listing various colors. These colors represent the
county division into regions by which the County Cemetery Board has located burial sites
or cemeteries. Each region is listed and within that region are the cemeteries that can be
found in it's parameters. Bear in mind, these are all the KNOWN cemetery locations. There
are some cemeteries still being discovered, located or turned in to the Archives in
Hardinsburg all the time. It's a slow, painstaking process in finding them all, and can't be
done overnight or in a relatively short amount of time. So, please have patience if the cemetery
you are looking for isn't listed. It may be under another name, or simply hasn't been found yet.

If you would like to submit pictures of any tombstone markers from the cemeteries listed
within the index, feel free to use the submission form that's at the top of this page and the main
page, or you may email Dana Brown with the picture/pictures for placement on the site.

For any cemetery that you know the name and location of, please contact Karen Schafer
at the Breckinridge County Archives in Hardinsburg or Dana Brown. Please remember, the
more information given, the better the chance of locating the cemetery and it going in a
"Located Cemetery" list for someone to finally get to it to clean it up and record the
markers/tombstones for future generations.
