Mount Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery
The Mount Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery was formed in 1925 after church trustees purchased land adjoining the Sparrow family cemetery, which predates 1875. Throughout the years, several additional tracts of land were acquired for the burial grounds. In 2021, the church erected several columbaria to receive cremains. The burial grounds and columbaria are cared for by the Mount Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery Committee.
Note: The Mount Carmel and Sparrow cemeteries are separate entities. Please contact Ellen Cheek with Sparrow cemetery inquiries. The church office can put you in touch.
The cemetery is located at 141 Parker Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27517. It is open to visitors. Exceptions apply during memorial services.
