Cemetery Planning
Have You and Your Family Made Plans?
Most Americans, especially those over the age of 50, have discussed their wishes with loved ones and friends. Many have even made plans. Some have chosen their final resting place. Have you made plans for yourself and your family?
Selecting the location for your burial or interment is important. How do you even begin to make such a choice? Where do you obtain information to make an informed decision?
By planning now, you can save your loved ones time and money in the future.
It’s never too soon to start planning for the future. As you’re considering things like life insurance and a will, we encourage you to think about your legacy and how you wanted to be memorialized in perpetuity.
Fred Hodges, Sales & Services Manager at St. Luke’s Historic Church & Museum, is available for consultation to provide information and guidance in the process in choosing your final destination.

Become Part of History
St. Luke’s Historic Church & Museum is home to Virginia’s oldest open cemetery. With the oldest marked grave dated 1767 and numerous unmarked graves nestled by the ancient church building, St. Luke’s cemeteries began as a church graveyard after the church was built in the late 17th Century. Memorial stones surround the building to adorn the existing landscape of the sacred grounds.
Today, the hallowed grounds give witness to lives and memories of generations past. All are welcome to tour our grounds, walk the serene landscape, and enjoy the peaceful natural environment. Many come to visit loved ones and ancestors. The carefully maintained cemetery is a testament to our pledge of perpetual care–that we will always care for this place. Our rich history spans four centuries. Yet, our history is not complete. We may be Virginia’s Oldest Cemetery, but there remains room for you to “Become Part of History”.
Note: Our cemetery is open to people of all faiths, creeds and nationalities. Affiliation with our organization is not a requirement for purchase.
