Operations
The Hebron Cemetery Association is a 501 (c) (13) nonprofit organization. A volunteer Board of Trustees governs the cemetery. Annual meeting of the Trustees is held on the fourth Saturday in September and is open to the public. The purpose of the organization is to assist in the internment of human remains regardless of race, gender, color or creed. The Board of Trustees assures that the grounds, monuments, fencing and landscaping are kept in neat condition and orderly repair.
​
Since its establishment in 1834, no fees have been charge for burial plots. For each burial a donation is requested. The Association receives no monies from federal, state or county taxes to support operations of the cemetery.
​
The Hebron Cemetery Perpetual Endowment Fund, established in 1917, provides limited interest income that is used for upkeep and care of the grounds.
