East Cleveland Township Cemetery is located at 1621 East 118th Street, just north on East 118th Street off Euclid Avenue. The cemetery was founded on August 31, 1859 by the East Cleveland Township which is no longer in existence. The cemetery property was part of an annexation that took place in 1892 and the cemetery itself has been in the City of Cleveland since that date.
The Cemetery is now owned and operated by the East Cleveland Township Cemetery Foundation. For more information regarding the Foundation, its mission, vision, and projects, please follow the this link: ECTCF

East Cleveland Cemetery Transcription project is currently a work in progress. However, the information available to date is also available on this site. A transcription project was completed by the Western Reserve Historical Society in 1933 and is available for your review in manuscript typewritten format at its Cleveland, Ohio location. This earlier transcription project was used to assist in identification of many of the current headstones. Digital photographs were taken of each of the headstones to memorialize the marker and to assist in the preservation of the existence of our ancestors.
