There are about 47 graves at Amboy Cemetery inside the perimeter fence and 8 graves outside of the fence. The cemetery is well maintained and in good condition. There is a flagpole flying a faded U.S. flag in the southwest corner. There are no stone markers in the cemetery, all of the markers are wooden crosses.
Most of the crosses are standing upright, the mounds over several of the graves are neatly covered with stones, and some graves are ringed by bricks and stone borders. It appears that few of the crosses bore any inscriptions. Two of the crosses on the north side of the cemetery have tin plates nailed to the crosses with inscriptions in Spanish. Interviews with several former residents of Amboy have confirmed that two infants named Anthony Montiel and Bertha Montiel are among those buried in the cemetery, but the exact location of their burial sites cannot be established as most of the wooden crosses do not bear inscriptions.
