Mary Field Cemetery
Mary Field Cemetery is the largest Gullah cemetery on the island. There are grave markers dating from 1926 to the present. Earlier wooden markers have disintegrated from all the Gullah cemeteries and the only indications of those graves are low areas where wooden caskets have collapsed. Friends of the family usually dug the graves. Following the funeral service, mourners would walk behind the carriage bearing the casket, singing all the way to the cemetery.
