Cemetery Recovery & Preservation Trust
of Jacksonville
Dedicated to restoring beauty and pride to Jacksonville's
historic cemeteries through preservation and education.

CRPTjax is a member of The Southern Genealogist's Exchange Society and began its work in 2007. We are dedicated to restoring beauty and pride to the historic cemeteries of Duval County and educating the public on the importance of preserving part of Jacksonville's cultural and architectural heritage - its cemeteries.

There are over 100 cemeteries that are either abandoned or neglected and are part of Jacksonville's history. These cemeteries need to be preserved and protected.

CRPTjax fulfills its mission by coordinating activities such as cemetery cleanups, preservation, grounds maintenance, cemetery security, community awareness events, and educational programs.
