Since 1849, the staff at Oak Hill Cemetery has meticulously recorded the name and the interment location for every person buried on our historic grounds. The records are useful to families for genealogical studies, and others who wish to explore some of the history of the Washington, DC area. Records are updated periodically to reflect more recent interments.

Individual burials may be located from the index below, which links to tombstone inscriptions and burial records that were published in Wesley E. Pippenger’s “Oak Hill Cemetery, Georgetown, D.C.: Monument Inscriptions and Burial Data, Parts One and Two” (2007).

Individual lots may be located on cemetery section maps, as below.
