THE STONINGTON CEMETERY ASSOCIATION

The Stonington Cemetery Association was established in 1849 and continues to this day as an active non-sectarian cemetery open to all. Our historic grounds are located on a quiet scenic road outside the Borough of Stonington Stonington, CT. The Cemetery Associatin is a non-profit 301(c)13 organzation administered by a Board of Directors.

We encourage you to visit the grounds to enjoy the tranquility of our location, to explore historic grave markers, and to locate friends and loved ones buried here. These pages will help you find information on plot purchasing and arrange for burial services. We will also assist with locating burial records.
