The Gravely Hill Cemetery is located within the boundaries of the Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery, which was opened in 1931, and is located at 7242 Normandy Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida; however, it is not affiliated with this cemetery. It is maintained by the Gravely Hill Friends, Inc.

"The Old Gravely Hill Cemetery was begun as the private family burying ground of the MILES PRICE family and located on the Miles Price homestead. Miles Price was a Confederate veteran who gave the burial plot to the family of any other Confederate veteran which desired it. Twenty-three Confederate veterans, one Civil War veteran with Union Forces, five World War I veterans, and two Spanish-American War veterans are buried here. The earliest marker is that of J.D. Carmichel, who died December 15, 1862."
