Welcome to the Walker Chapel Historic Cemetery...

Nestled in the heart of Arlington County, Virginia, lies a sacred ground steeped in history and tradition—the Walker Chapel Historic Cemetery. Established in 1848 by the venerable Walker family, this historic Christian burial site has stood as a testament to legacy and community for generations.

Our story begins with David Walker, whose final resting place marked the humble beginnings of what would later become a cherished landmark. Over the years, the cemetery evolved, entrusted to successive generations, and stewarded with reverence. Today, it stands as a beacon of heritage and a sanctuary of peace.

The Walker Chapel, erected in 1960, serves as the spiritual cornerstone of our grounds. Its timeless architecture and solemn ambiance provide solace and comfort to all who visit. Within its walls, memories are honored, and lives are celebrated.

But our journey doesn’t end with the past; it extends into the future through the Historic Cemetery Project (HCP). This visionary initiative seeks to expand and enhance our sacred grounds, ensuring they remain a cherished sanctuary for generations to come.

As part of the HCP, we are excited to introduce new care options, including columbaria niches, for those seeking a final resting place within our historic cemetery. Our columbaria niches offer a dignified and timeless resting place for cremated remains, providing families with a lasting tribute to their loved ones amidst the tranquil beauty of our grounds.

By choosing a columbaria niche at Walker Chapel and Cemetery, you become part of a legacy—a legacy of faith, community, and remembrance. Here, amidst the whispering trees and gentle breezes, your loved ones find eternal peace, and their memories are forever cherished.

Join us in preserving history, honoring tradition, and embracing the serenity of eternal rest. Contact us today to learn more about our columbaria niches and how you can become a part of our cherished community.
