On May 14, 1607, (419 years ago today) English settlers arrived at Jamestown Settlement and established the first permanent English colony in North America. Life was harsh from the beginning. Disease, hunger, and conflict took a heavy toll, and the need for a burial ground came quickly.

The colony’s first cemetery, now known as the churchyard burial ground, was established within the walls of the original fort. Archaeological work has uncovered graves believed to belong to some of Jamestown’s earliest leaders and settlers, offering a rare and powerful glimpse into the realities of early American life and loss.

From the very beginning, one truth has remained. Every life deserves a place of dignity, permanence, and remembrance.

At Evergreen Memorial Trust, we carry that same commitment forward for the families we serve today. Gone Is Gone. Make sure your loved one’s final resting place is certain, secure, and never left to chance.

During excavation of the fort at Jamestown, thirty graves were found. These are most likely the men who died during the first year of the settlement.
