About Clovis, California

Clovis is a city of about 120,000 residents in Fresno County, located roughly 6.5 miles northeast of downtown Fresno and about 9 miles, or a 13-minute drive, from Rabara Memorial's location on East Divisadero Street. Incorporated in 1912, Clovis grew from a freight stop on the San Joaquin Valley Railroad into a city known for its rodeo heritage, its motto "Clovis, A Way of Life," and the historic Old Town Clovis district along Pollasky and Clovis Avenues.

Clovis has long been called the "Gateway to the Sierras," sitting at the foot of the Sierra Nevada foothills with Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks within reach. Many Clovis families have deep roots in the community, with generations attending the same churches, schools, and civic events that have anchored the city since its early lumber and railroad days.

For families arranging a burial, Clovis Cemetery District serves families in the area. Rabara Memorial does not operate its own cemetery, but our family team can coordinate with Clovis Cemetery District and other cemeteries in the area, handling scheduling, paperwork, and logistics so Clovis families can focus on being together during a difficult time.
