Hilton Head Island is home to fourteen Native Islander cemeteries, some dating to plantation burial grounds in Colonial times, and is the site of the Zion Chapel of Ease Cemetery, the resting place of Patriots and Planters.  The families represented in these cemeteries have forged the current character and history that characterizes Hilton Head’s uniqueness.
