please contact the society first. While graveyards should be accessible to family members, you must contact the current landowner and make an appointment. We will be happy to assist with the arrangements.
I have spoken with landowners who wish families would help with the maintenance of said graveyards. If cleaning of a graveyard is a hardship, local scout troops sometimes help with the process to earn badges.
The cleaning of gravesites in Shenandoah National Park has proven difficult to many once public roads to these graveyards have been closed or made into hiking trails. Graveyards located in the wilderness designated areas forbid the use of chainsaws and other power equipment. Research indicates that when the park was formed many families felt they lost the right to bury in these graveyards. In recent years cremated family members have been returned to the park graveyards.
The Rappahannock Cemetery Project is published in two forms: CD and hard copy. You will find the project is made up from the resident listing, the graveyard and cemetery inventory and the Scheel map index of graveyards. The CD sells for $25 with $2 postage. The printed edition, close to 250 double-sided pages, is $30. Please contact RHS with questions, additions or corrections.
