Each cemetery has its own Cemetery
Association. The Rockport Cemetery Association
is in the process of indexing the cemetery records on computers.
We hope this can be made available on the Internet in the future.
Currently, there are indexes and books in the Aransas County Public
Library of the Lamar and Rockport cemeteries. There are also
links provided below for data that is now online.
The following cemeteries are the major ones located in
Aransas County; however, there may be other small family
cemeteries which are not included here. If you know of
any cemeteries that are not listed, please send us an email
giving us the name and location of the cemetery.
