This Year's Project: Reset Headstones


About Our Organization

The Filley Cemetery  was established in 1887, and operated for years by an unincorported association of individuals unt the incorporation of the Filley Cemetery Association, a Nebraska Non-profit Corporation on February 10, 2020. On December 7, 2021 we received our 501(c)(13) approval from the Internal Revenue Service. The Association is not connected, nor has any plans, to be connected in any with with any other organization. The sale of cemetery lots are open to the general public. The Association is in charge of operation of the grounds and pays for all expenses.  The Association receives funds from various sources, which include interest from investments, donations, memorials, lot sales and staking fees. One half of all lot sales are placed in a perpetual care fund. 



Current Project: Reset Headstones



We are  requesting funds to help with resetting and repairing headstones. Over the past two years we have received donations towards this project,  but not nearly the amount of money it will take to restore the over 80 stones in need of repair.  Your gift  will help the Cemetery Board bring back the integrity to mounments which are well over 125 years old.
