How to Get to the Cemetery:

The cemetery is located on Broadway, between Muir Way and Riverside Blvd., in downtown Sacramento at 1000 Broadway, Sacramento, CA 95818.  

When you’re on Broadway, you can’t miss it.  The whole thing is surrounded by massive wrought-iron fencing and gates, and some of the statuary is “monolithic”.  You can park right across the street from it in the County parking lot. Hours and more information is available HERE.
