o Donation in memory or in honor of someone – a great way to remember someone!
o General donation – this would be great to help fund the services of the Omega Mapping Services!
Please Note: We now have another method of paying dues and giving donations. New Salem Cemetery Corporation now has a Venmo account! You can now pay your dues and make a donation using Venmo. When you open your Venmo app, search for New Salem Cemetery Corporation under the “Business” tab (search for our logo - see above) Just give a description of your dues and/or donation.. However, since our account is not a personal account, there is a service fee of 1.9% plus $.10. So if you use Venmo, please consider increasing your payment/donation accordingly to cover this convenience fee. Thank you!
Please share this website with your family and friends! Your support is crucial for the preservation of this historic cemetery!
*New Salem Cemetery Corporation has established a fund-raising project called "Save the Stones." This special project has been established to facilitate the ongoing preservation and restoration of the headstones.
