Collection: Union Chapel Cemetery - Indianapolis
Originally, in 1822, the Cemetery was located in the present South Section of Union Chapel Cemetery and was known as the Whitinger Family Cemetery. Later in the 1800s, Joseph Whitinger donated this cemetery ground to the community by means of a Land Grant, on the basis that it would be used as a community cemetery and for “divine worship without denominational ties”. A memorial has been erected on the original cemetery site to acknowledge that generous and pivotal gift.
Over the subsequent years, additional adjoining acreage has been purchased by the Cemetery, including a 13.37 acre area north of Union Chapel Road, now known as the “North Area” of the Cemetery. The Cemetery now occupies over 24 acres with nearly 10, 788 burial sites.
