The Bellevue Cemetery, located in Bellevue, NE, has a rich history dating back to 1856. Originally operated by a cemetery association, it was taken over by the City of Bellevue in 1974. Notable burials include Chief Big Elk, the last full-blooded chief of the Omaha Indian tribe, and Fenner Ferguson, the first Chief Justice of Nebraska Territory.
The cemetery offers terms of purchase for lots, with full payment required within two years. Ownership rights of interment are granted to lot owners, allowing them to use the lots for burial purposes. The City of Bellevue also allows for the transfer of ownership, with proper documentation required for any changes in ownership. Markers or monuments can only be placed on a grave site once it has been paid for in full and the owner has received a deed from the City.
