Parker Cemetery lies about three miles north-west of Burwell in Garfield County, on the west side of 464th Avenue at the edge of the Calamus golf course — a small plot ringed with trees, set back from the road.
It is one burial ground under two names. Find a Grave carries it twice: as Parker Cemetery, with no burials indexed, and as Jack Shafer Memorial Cemetery, with 11. The two entries sit barely four hundred feet apart, and there is only one cemetery on the ground. Anyone tracing a burial should search under Jack Shafer Memorial, where the records are.
For burial records or plot enquiries, contact the City of Burwell, or the Garfield County Clerk in Burwell. Ownership can also be confirmed through the Nebraska Statewide Cemetery Registry at the State Historical Society.
