A History of Andrew Chapel Cemetery

Andrew Chapel Cemetery was established in 1854 on the grounds of the original Andrew Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church.

In 1909 the community enlarged the cemetery by purchasing one acre of ground from Hattie R. Jackson. In 1919 an additional one and one-half acres was purchased from John M. Barbee and Hattie R. Barbie.


In 1958 the trustees purchased two acres from George P. Hughes to complete the space needed for future expansion.

From its inception the cemetery association has been a nonprofit organization under the responsible leadership of Trustees who have volunteered their time and service.

In 1991 the association was incorporated in the State of Virginia. As a not-for-profit corporation the trustees became a Board of Directors with a slate of officers who are elected annually and as in the past, still remain volunteers.

Financially Sound Corporation

Presently, Andrew Chapel Cemetery is situated on five acres of property. Perpetual care of the cemetery is provided through the financially stable Corporation. The operation of the cemetery is supported by safe investments of funds from sale of the lots.

Family-friendly Approach to Operations

Andrew Chapel Cemetery board members maintain a personal interest in the operation and maintenance of the cemetery, with family members and life-long friends interred in the cemetery. We understand that the cemetery is a place for tribute to loved ones, and our policies reflect this commitment.
