SUNNYSIDE CEMETERY Established in 1895, Sunnyside Cemetery was first known as the Ellis Graveyard. The cemetery was reserved only for family members of founder Nathaniel Ellis. In 1904, the cemetery's new owner formed the Sunnyside Cemetery Association. By the following year, Sunnyside Cemetery opened to the public. Today, this St. Petersburg landmark remains a quaint and historically rich cemetery for families throughout the community. Newer sections and options provide a respectful addition to accommodate more families who seek a serene, beautiful option to larger cemeteries.
