Madison County, IN
Cemetery Information by Townships:
Many of these links will refer you to the pages of the Madison County Cemetery Commission website that has lots of fantastic information.
The purpose of the Madison County Cemetery Commission is to restore and preserve the early cemeteries in our Indiana county. First formed in 1973, Madison County's sesquicentennial, the MCCC was established by the Madison County Board of Commissioners in response to public concern and the passing of state laws protecting the cemeteries of pioneers and early settlers. As in the past, today's Board of County Commissioners continues to recognize the need to maintain and protect this important part of our local heritage.
