About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is about a half an acre and once apparently served the now-vanished community of Granite, which took its name from the granite quarries along the James River. As a village, Granite was more than just a stop on the railroad that ran through the quarry operations. The workers that pulled the stone from the soil of what was then Chesterfield County lived along what is now Forest Hill Avenue, some as far west as Sheila Lane, west of Chippenham Parkway. This cemetery appears to predate that of the nearby Gravel Hill Baptist Church and more research is necessary to determine the relationship between the church and this cemetery. There are few marked graves and it has been allowed to return to deep woods. Those markers that are there vary from professionally carved to created by writing in wet cement to temporary funeral home markers with fading typewritten information about the deceased.
