Burials at Altalaha, Rehrersburg, Berks County, PA

Altalaha Lutheran Church is located at 111 Godfrey Street, Rehrersburg. The original cemetery surrounds the Church on three sides. The earliest headstones date from the late 1700s. Most recent interments are in a newer cemetery, accessible from the end of Church Street, visible from the old cemetery.

The oldest headstones in the cemetery next to the church date back to the 1780s; there are also burials as recent as 2008. The cemetery grounds are mowed and well maintained. Many of the older headstones are severely weathered, broken in pieces, lying flat and imbedded in the earth - the resulting decay of time. There are many open spaces where graves have gone unmarked or headstones have been removed.

Burials in the newer cemetery date back to the early 1900s.
