Blvd. Continue till you see the crypts of the "old" Watsonville Catholic Cemetery on the left. Pioneer Cemetery is about 2-3 blocks further on the right. It is surrounded by fast food, shopping centers, etc. and you'll think it's the wrong street, but don't despair! The chain-link fence gate on Freedom Blvd appears to be permanently locked.
