History

Eastern Shore Veterans Cemetery at Hurlock is located 2 miles south of Preston and about 5 miles northwest of Hurlock on State Route 331. Eastern Shore Veterans Cemetery opened in December 1976, with a total capacity of 14,000 burial sites. Donated by the citizens of Dorchester County, the site was formerly a 35-acre wheat field. The layout of the burial sites is based on a system of radials and concentric circles centered on the American flag in the plaza area of the Chapel.

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
