A Message from our Cemetery Superintendent
Welcome to the Presbyterian Cemetery
The Presbyterian Cemetery, established in 1809 by the Old Presbyterian Meeting House, continues to serve as a
sacred resting place for loved ones—and a source of comfort for the living.
As Superintendent for the past decade, I consider it one of the deepest honors of my life to care for these grounds.
My journey with the Old Presbyterian Meeting House began at age four. While the church is located a mile east of the cemetery,
the connection—both spiritual and historical—has always been close to my heart.
My personal bond with this place deepened in 2002, when my father was laid to rest here. In 2018, my mother joined him.
I, too, will one day be buried within these grounds. The care I offer is not only professional—it is personal. And in many ways,
it is a calling. I believe the Holy Spirit placed this responsibility on my heart: to tend this ground with reverence,
to preserve the stories of those interred here, and to walk alongside families with compassion and care.
Although this cemetery was founded by a Presbyterian congregation, we welcome burials from all Christian denominations.
We ask only that each interment be conducted with dignity and respect, honoring the sacredness of this space.
Whether you are visiting a loved one, seeking a resting place, planning a service, or wondering what comes next
after purchasing a plot or niche, please know that I am here to help. I also work closely with families and researchers
exploring their roots, preserving and sharing the stories of those interred here.
Thank you for visiting. Whether you arrive in sorrow or in search, may you find here a place of peace, belonging, and enduring care.
Warmly, David Heiby
Superintendent, Presbyterian Cemetery
