About four years ago, the Como neighborhood advisory council reactivated the Lake Como Cemetery Association, Elouise Burrell, a Como community leader, said. As far as the council knew, no burial services had been conducted at the cemetery since , and no process was in place for more to occur.

During the past decade, records were lost because no one had taken over the cemetery operations. To bolster the cemetery, the neighborhood council recently applied to the Texas Historical Commission for a historic marker and received that designation. The committee also created a database of all the people it had on record of being interred. The database tells what race or ethnicity they were, the cause of their death, whether they were slaves or not, and other information used to create the database.

Instead, the community had a yard decoration competition. This year, the parade returned in full force with decorations, flowers, liberation colors, Fourth of July colors and more.

In addition, the association is working with the nearby Como Community Center and the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance on repairs and upgrades to the cemetery.
