Central Virginia Training Center Cemetery
Established 1911
Dedicated to those whose lives and care we held in trust.
"As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven."
Since its creation, the facility has maintained a 6 acre cemetery on grounds. The first recorded burial, that of a 16 year old boy, took place on June 27, 1911, a little over one month after the first patients were admitted. As of January 2005, the cemetery held 1028 graves. Most interments were of the men, women and children who lived at the facility. One such grave is that of a facility resident who was a Confederate veteran, having served as a private with Co. F, 37th VA Infantry. A few graves, however, hold clients of other state facilities and one grave is marked "Unknown." CVTC maintains a complete record of all burials that includes grave number, name, date of birth and date of death. To request access to the cemetery grounds, please contact the CVTC Police Department in advance at 434-947-6136 or email our Police Chief at dbailey@cvtc.state.va.us
