Public & Church Cemeteries in Surry County

This page lists cemeteries that are connected to churches & also those considered as public cemeteries (owned by towns/cities). While some cemeteries appear to be connected to the church next to them, they are actually private & have no affiliation with the church. An example is Whitaker's Chapel United Methodist Church. The cemetery next to it is named Webster Cemetery, although many people are familiar with it as Whitaker's Chapel Cemetery or some other name. Actual names of cemeteries can be found by checking signs on the property, through records of the Surry County Planning Department or Tax Department, local funeral homes, as well as death certificates of occupants located at the Surry County Register of Deeds office in Dobson.

If you know of a cemetery you'd like to see posted here, or know of the actual name of a cemetery that we can use as a reference, please let us know by sending me an email.
