Parsons 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.
In addition to being an active cemetery, Parsons Cemetery is also a historic site. Many of Salisbury’s early leaders are interred in Parsons Cemetery. The Parsons Cemetery Committee works hard to provide historic information for our patrons and we offer a variety of self-guided tours.
Parsons Cemetery takes great pride in working with the local community. Each December we host Wreaths Across America where we honor the 1,300+ veterans interred in Parsons. We also work with local organizations like Salisbury University, 4-H, and the Boy Scouts to keep the cemetery clean and the older markers maintained.
Parsons is grateful for the number of hours volunteered by the members of our local community.

Thanks to a grant from the Choptank Electric Trust, and the help of students from the SU honors College, we were able to install speed bumps and signs at Parsons Cemetery. Sure, no one likes speed bumps but, believe it or not, there are hills at Parsons that create blind spots. Out of concern for our many walkers, bike riders, and people visiting their loved ones, we thought this was needed. We rely on grants and gifts to allow us to take on projects that are beyond our budgeted expenses.
Thank you Choptank and SU! ... See MoreSee Less
