Our Cemeteries

Our church maintains two cemeteries, an older one on Tomac Ave. which is located by where the church building used to be, and the newer one located next to the current church building.

  • The Tomac Historic Burying Ground is about one acre and has burials from 1718 to 1904.  There were probably earlier burials, but there were no engraved headstones for these.

  • The Sound Beach Avenue Cemetery next to our church is about four acres and has burials that began around 1835, when the church bought that land.  All plots in the main part of this cemetery are sold and hold about 3,680 interments.  Plots in the Columbarium (cremations) are still available.
