About Templeton Cemetery District

Templeton Cemetery District has been in use since the early 1870s and was formally established in 1938 by petition of area residents. It operates a 6-acre active cemetery site on Theatre Drive at 100 Templeton Cemetery Road, Paso Robles, serving a 64,000-acre area. The cemetery features multiple burial sections: the historic "Old Section" with dirt plots bordered by family-planted shrubs, the newer "Dry Section" developed into rows, and two "Lawn Sections." A columbarium for cremation inurnments is located in the center of the Old Section. The district is sustained by property tax revenues, interest on reserves, interment fees, and preneed plot sales.
