About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Memorial Lutheran Church is located at the corner of Orange Street and Penn Street in Shippensburg. At one time there was a cemetery located behind the church. As the need for more parking grew it was decided to remove the headstones from the cemetery and the graves were paved over. What stones remain are stored in the basement of the church. The pictures of the stones were taken in the basement.

It was believed at one time that the graves were moved to Spring Hill Cemetery, also in Shippensburg, but research has shown that no evidence exists of the graves ever being moved from their original location. A search of Spring Hill records by the caretaker shows no evidence of any relocation of the Lutheran Cemetery to Spring Hill. Furthermore there is no section/area to which they could have been moved because no area in the cemetery is unaccounted for in the Spring Hill records. It is now believed that no one wanted to admit to paving over the graves and the story that they were moved to Spring Hill was made to appease anyone who might ask the location of the graves.
