All Pet ServicesParsons Cemetery is today both operational and historic. It is an urban green space, an outdoor museum, and in the words of architectural historian, Keith Eggener, urban cemeteries “are where life meets death, nature meets city, and present meets past.”
Parsons Cemetery covers 18 acres and is divided into several sections. Take a tour of our cemetery and learn what Parsons has to offer today.
NEW! Parsons Cemetery is proud to announce the launch of an exciting new search tool that will allow you to find the resting places of loved ones
Parsons is a very active, operational cemetery. It is also a historical site rich with information about Salisbury’s past. Many of Salisbury’s past leaders rest here. The Parsons Cemetery Advisory Committee is dedicated to providing accurate historical information for our patrons and we offer a variety of self-guided tours.
Parsons Cemetery takes great pride in working with the local community on many events and projects. Each December, we partner with Operation We Care to host a Wreaths Across America event where we honor the nearly 1400 veterans interred in Parsons. We have several events during the year where many local organizations volunteer their time to keep the cemetery clean and the markers maintained. We welcome organizations to use our beautiful setting to hold their own fundraising events
Parsons is grateful for the number of hours volunteered by the members of our local community.
