Cemetery Overview
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.
THE CEMETERIES

MOST EXCLUSIVE AND LIMITED QUANTITY
Located in close proximity to the “Old Brick Church,” these lots offer a beautiful view of the south side of the church. In addition, stately trees and impressive memorial markers announce the permanent memorial of all who are buried here. Because of their location and limited availability, these spaces are offered at our premium price.
MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY
Located across the ponds to the north of the “Old Brick Church,” St. Luke’s Memorial Park began the sale of burial lots around 1930. The expansive grounds offer a variety of individual and multiple space lots to accommodate a single burial or a large family plot.
