Also known as Stone Arabia Cemetery. The cemetery is set back off the road and can be easily missed, the entrance is located between two small barns and there are several houses close by obstructing the view of the cemetery from State Route 31, south side, East of Ferguson Rd., left of street address 6602 and right of 6576 Rte. 31, Cicero.

Receiving vault at Cicero Center Cemetery, at rear of house at 602 Route 31. Built in 1859 by Nathan Whiting. These were used to store caskets during the winter months for spring burial. The builder started with very small small stones, then perhaps decided to hurry the project along by using larger ones. Roof is made of large slabs of slate.
