Hillcrest Cemetery is located in the 2200 block of Stanton Road, in East Point, Fulton County, Georgia. It consists of seventeen acres divided into ten major sections and several smaller designated areas. There are approximately 10,000 burials representing nearly 2,400 surnames including veterans of six wars. The cemetery is privately owned and is a non-perpetual care facility. It was first established as a family burial ground around 1890 for the Hudson family who owned a home on top of the hill in what is now the southern end of the cemetery. In 1912, it became a commercial cemetery. The earliest headstones are from the late nineteenth century, reinterments from family burials on private property. The oldest section is in the center of the back area which is now heavily wooded. The cemetery later expanded to the south, towards Stanton Road. In 1952, additional sections were opened to the north and across Stanton Road. The cemetery is still active with about twenty burials per year. Records prior to 1926 were destroyed in a fire in the cemetery office. No records have been kept since 1994. About 8,000 names are documented in the existing records (1926 to 1994). For assistance, contact the Hillcrest Cemetery Memorial Association (HCMA) in East Point, a volunteer group founded in 2001.
