In 1991, the cemetery land that was not already deeded to specific families was transferred to Prospect Cemetery Association (PCA). The PCA also assumed responsibility for upkeep for all of the cemetery including the family-deeded sections. The initial PCA Board of Directors included Lucy M. Nash (founder), Pauline S. Moseley, Robert H. Conner, and Mary H. Lynch. A commemorative marker as shown was erected in 2018.
When you purchase from the PCA or are associated with an old family section, you become a member of the PCA.
The cemetery is funded by donations from PCA membership, memorial donations, and by the sale of burial plots. A perpetual care fund is being developed with the intent that returns from that investment will eventually cover the annual expenses.
If you are interested in purchasing plots or have questions, please contact Anne Hartley, PCA President, at 919-602-5012 or ahartley1009@gmail.com. Donations are always appreciated. Please make checks payable to Prospect Cemetery Association and mail to Prospect Cemetery Association, PO Box 29, Ebony, VA 23845. Download PCA Guidelines with pricing and purchase instructions.
Prospect Cemetery is included in this compilation of Brunswick County Cemeteries. However, it is not being maintained; it was last updated on 1/16/2011. The PCA is working on creating a comprehensive cemetery directory.
Prospect Cemetery Association
In 2021, the association which had been an unincorporated association since its beginning was transitioned to a non-stock corporation to modernize the legal structure recommended for a cemetery association. The Bylaws were also revised and restated. Links to both documents:
