The Bosque Bello Cemetery, "Beautiful Woods," was said to have been established by the Spanish in 1798. The City of Fernandina Beach added a "new" section in the mid-1940's. The old and new sections of Bosque Bello Cemetery are together on one site. The "New" section of the cemetery was added by the City of Fernandina on land donated by J.G. Cooper and Sadie Cooper in 1945. The graves are among the Live Oak trees who gave the cemetery it's Spanish name of Bosque Bello (Spanish for beautiful woods).
The Cemetery is located at 1321 North 14th Street near the entrance of historic Old Town Fernandina Beach. For lot purchases and cemetery information, visit the Parks & Recreation Department's administrative office at the Atlantic Recreation Center, 2500 Atlantic Avenue.
