Our history
Sutherland Park Cemetery is a historic cemetery located on the northeast side of Indianapolis, along Millersville Road. Established in the early 20th century, the cemetery has long served as a final resting place for members of the local community, with deep roots tied to working families, churches, and neighborhood life in Indianapolis.
Like many legacy cemeteries of its era, Sutherland Park reflects a time when burial grounds were created to provide dignity, permanence, and sacred space—often in response to limited burial options available to African American families and underserved communities. Over generations, the cemetery became a place of remembrance not only for individuals, but for shared history, faith, and family lineage across many cultures and traditions.
Through the decades, Sutherland Park Cemetery witnessed periods of active use, quiet seasons, and the natural wear that comes with time. Headstones, markers, and grounds reflect multiple generations, each telling a story of life, loss, resilience, and love. The cemetery stands today as both a memorial landscape and a historical record of the community it has served.
In its current chapter, Sutherland Park Cemetery is being stewarded with renewed intention. Under the leadership of Unity Group, LLC, the cemetery is undergoing thoughtful restoration, operational improvements, and long-term planning to ensure it remains a place of honor, respect, and accessibility for generations to come. This stewardship balances preservation of history with responsible modernization—ensuring families receive compassionate care while safeguarding the integrity of the grounds.
Sutherland Park Cemetery is more than land—it is legacy. It represents lives lived, families connected, and a commitment to care that extends beyond a single moment in time.
