RIVERTON CITY CEMETERY EXPANSION PLOTS NOW ON SALE
Cemetery plots in the Riverton City Cemetery expansion area are now available for purchase at the Riverton City Recorder’s Office.

Resident: $1,200
Non-Resident: $3,000

Two forms of proof of residency are required at time of purchase for resident rate. The maximum number of plots allowed for purchase per household in the entire cemetery is four (4). If you currently own four (4) or more graves within the entire cemetery, no additional plots may be purchased. The newly added section of the cemetery allows for double stacking; therefore, four (4) plots then become eight (8), if you so choose.

OUTSTANDING CITIZEN AWARD PRESENTED TO SCOTT REID

The nominator said this about Scott: "Scott refuses to accept anything more than a simple thank you for all of his service and efforts that he gives to the city. He is an amazing husband, father, and public servant. We are fortunate to have such an individual be part of our community."
