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.
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.

Navy Ordinary Seaman William Seach, in action with the relief expedition of the Allied forces in China during the battles of 13, 20, 21, and 22 June 1900. June 13: Seach and six others were cited for their courage in repulsing an attack by 300 Chinese Imperialist soldiers and Boxer militants with a bayonet charge, thus thwarting a planned massive attack on the entire force. June 20: During a day-long battle, Seach ran across an open clearing, gained cover, and cleaned out nests of Chinese snipers. June 21: During a surprise saber attack by Chinese cavalrymen, Seach was cited for defending gun emplacements. June 22: Seach and others breached the wall of a Chinese fort, fought their way to the enemy's guns, and turned the cannon upon the defenders of the fort. Throughout this period and in the presence of the enemy, Seach distinguished himself by meritorious conduct.
