Our History
Melville Cemetery was established in 1812, when Melville was a farming hamlet in the Town of Huntington and Long Island was still a landscape of orchards, fields, and quiet country roads. The date is carved into the granite plaque at the entrance, where it has greeted visitors for generations.
In the more than two hundred years since, the cemetery has become the final resting place of neighbors and families from Melville and the surrounding communities. Its stones, from the oldest and most weathered to the newest, tell the story of a place and the people who built their lives here.
The cemetery is cared for with respect for every grave, so that every visitor can find a peaceful place to remember.
Remembered by name. Kept in peace.
