Fort Johnson Road, James Island, Charleston, SC

Flag pole donated by VFW Post 445 in 1999

As you enter the cemetery you can go straight, this is a circle divided in half, Virgin Mary's side on the right and Sacrd Heart on the left , only ground level memorial plaques allowed in these sections.
A right or left turn is allowed as you enter. The perimeter sections are where the larger headstones are allowed. This is owned by the Charleston Diocese but other relgions can be buried here. This is a perpetual care cemetery.

This is where the Sister's of Our Lady of Mercy (OLM) are intered. They have a beautiful convent just down the road overlooking the harbor.
