Since 1908, staff at Duncan Cemetery has met the needs of Corpus Christi, Texas residents. Though a small property, the cemetery grounds offer beautiful views of the Laguna Madre Bay, encompassing nearly five acres of lawn that blooms with red and yellow wildflowers in the spring, all nestled under the warm, blue skies of Southern coastal Texas. Previously known as Flour Bluff Cemetery, the property was purchased by the Duncan family at the turn of the 20th century, and has served the needs of Nueces County and Corpus Christi residents since the late 1800s. The historical location offers a glimpse of Corpus Christi pioneers, ranchers and farmers, as well as serving as the final resting place of veterans from World War One to the present day. The Texas Historical Commission recognizes Duncan Cemetery as a historic Texas cemetery offering a dignified and well preserved location that meets the multicultural needs of community residents. Divided into lots and sections, Duncan Cemetery is proud to offer green burials to family members and loved ones of the deceased as well as traditional burial services. Due to its location near natural wetlands and the tidal lake and the Redhead Pond Wildlife Management Area, the property honors its historical past and allows nature to provide everything the property needs in regard to rainfall, growth and presence of wildflowers and the planting of drought resistant shrubs and trees by families. As an environmentally friendly and natural cemetery, staff at Duncan cemetery provide a welcoming, native landscaped and accessible property to visitors. Located just southeast of Corpus Christi along the shores of Corpus Christi Bay, Duncan Cemetery may be accessed from Interstate 37 or State Route 358 with a turnoff on Waldron Road, with a access offered by Glenoak Drive or Hustin Hornet drive with a turn on to Deborah Lane. |
