Sacred Heart Cemetery lies south of Hay Springs, in Section 3 of Township 29, Range 45. The county's records note that the first grave here is dated 1888, which makes it one of the earliest burial grounds in this part of the county.
Around 133 memorials have been recorded, which is a record of what has been photographed and indexed rather than a count of everyone buried there.
For burial records or plot enquiries, contact the Village of Hay Springs, or the Sheridan County Clerk in Rushville. Ownership can also be confirmed through the Nebraska Statewide Cemetery Registry at the State Historical Society.
