This is a fairly young cemetery, with the earliest visible burial from 1969. The majority of the burials belong to the Shaffer family, who are along the south fence, and it's interesting to see the old temporary funeral home markers attached to the fence.
Previously, the Victory Chapel occupied the sanctuary across the way. There is no indication as to whether those buried here were members of that or an earlier church, and it's anybody's guess as to why "New Hope". There are no cemetery signs, and you've got to lean down a bit to get to the pedestrian and vehicular entrances.
