College Station Memorial Cemetery & Aggie Field of Honor
3800 Raymond Stotzer Parkway | 979.764.5049 | fieldofhonor.cstx.gov
The 56-acre College Station Memorial Cemetery includes 20 acres designated as the Aggie Field
of Honor. The beautifully designed facility includes an information center, a committal shelter,
columbariums and standard burial plots in each location.
Another special feature is the Spirit Gate that honors the life and spirit of Aggies who have died. As
you look through the gate to Kyle Field there is a sense of connection between this final resting place
and the place where these Aggies were educated and launched their lives. And one only needs to be
an Aggie in spirit to call this your final home. Former Students, friends, family and anyone who has a
love of this university and its community are welcome.
College Station Cemetery
2530 Texas Avenue South | 979 .764 .5049 | cstx .gov/cemeteries
The College Station Cemetery was created in 1948 from 31 acres bought near the Shiloh community,
approximately two miles south of Texas A&M on Highway 6. That tract surrounded an existing
cemetery, which had been deeded to the Methodist Church in 1870 by W.G. and Josephine
Rector. The A&M Methodist Church, in 1948, turned over those four acres to College Station to
be incorporated into the city cemetery. In 1973, the cemetery was decreased in size when the city
decided to designate 18 of the acres for the creation of Bee Creek Park.
