"Sunset View Cemetery, Colma, was closed in 1951.This was the potter's field for San Francisco where indigents, amputations, used cadavers, and still-borns were buried. Records for Sunset View are kept at Olivet Memorial Park. The site is now covered by the Cypress Hills Golf Course. Markers have been removed."
