Italian Cemetery

Located in Colma, California, the Italian Cemetery is "home" to our first immigrant Italians on this line.

You can now get there by BART, the Colma station is just a block away from F Street.
It's no trouble to drive, but you may have to make a U-turn to get to F where it curls up a slope because of the divided road.

If you go in the 2nd entrance, called Columbo Avenue, and go almost all the way down to the end, on the right, stand on the number 57 and look to your left to see the Ambrose's white marble cross on a pedestal.

Block 58, lot 67 is owned by G. B. Ambrose. Shown below are details from the memorial.
