Day Center Cemetery Day NY Guide

About Day Center Cemetery

Day Center Cemetery, also referred to publicly as Day Center Town Cemetery, is a town-managed cemetery in the Town of Day, Saratoga County, New York. Public sources place it directly next to the Day Town Hall on North Shore Road / County Route 4. The Town of Day identifies it as one of its municipal cemeteries, and Find a Grave lists 561 memorial records there.

This cemetery is especially important because it reflects the burial history of the Town of Day and is one of the core burial grounds associated with the Great Sacandaga Lake region. Public historical references also note that large numbers of graves were reinterred here after flooding associated with creation of the Sacandaga Reservoir, which gives this cemetery unusual local significance.

Cemetery Location & Burial Research

Public references place Day Center Cemetery at or beside the Day Town Hall on North Shore Road. Because the Town of Day manages multiple cemeteries, families should confirm the cemetery name carefully before requesting service, flower placement, or gravesite maintenance.

• confirm the cemetery name as Day Center Cemetery or Day Center Town Cemetery
• note that this is a town-managed cemetery in the Town of Day
• include the memorial name, family surname, or approximate location when requesting service
• compare burial details with Find a Grave or local transcription resources before scheduling if you are unsure

If you are trying to locate a grave before contacting us, burial research details such as family names, dates, or approximate section location can make service coordination much easier.

Town Rules, Access & Maintenance

The Town of Day states that its cemeteries are open from April 2 through November 30 each year. The town also says maintenance includes mowing of grass and upkeep of roads and fences, and that decorations may be removed if they interfere with maintenance or become unsightly. Planting trees or shrubs on cemetery lots is prohibited.

Those rules matter for families planning cleanup, decoration placement, flower delivery, or ongoing gravesite care. It is always best to coordinate work in ways that respect the cemetery’s maintenance schedule and local rules.

Historic & Local Context

Public historical references describe Day Center Cemetery as a significant reinterment site connected to the creation of the Sacandaga Reservoir. The cemetery’s role in receiving graves moved from older surrounding burial grounds makes it especially important for local genealogy and family-history research.

This local history also means that older memorials and family names here may connect to former churches, former cemeteries, and earlier Town of Day settlement patterns. That makes careful preservation and respectful documentation especially important for families researching memorials here.

Common Memorial Preservation Issues at Day Center Cemetery

• moss and lichen growth on older memorials
• surface staining from long-term weather exposure
• faded inscriptions and reduced readability
• biological buildup on granite, marble, and bronze markers
• plot presentation needs before visits, anniversaries, or remembrance dates

Preservation note for this cemetery: older memorials should not be treated with aggressive methods such as pressure washing. For a fuller explanation, read our guide: Why We Never Power Wash Gravestones.

What Families Should Know Before Requesting Service

• providing a memorial name, family surname, or approximate location can make coordination easier
