Before the founding of the Doane’s Point cemetery Corporation, burials in the Town of Sorrento took place in small family plots such as the Jackson and Bragdon-Hall Cemeteries and the Town maintained Daniel Sullivan Cemetery located off the old Sullivan road on Doane’s Point. These burial grounds had served early settlers and their antecedents but could not meet the needs of a growing and changing Sorrento.

 

In 1964 a donated property was acquired adjacent to the “old” Daniel Sullivan Cemetery, and a committee of Sorrento residents founded the Doane’s Point Cemetery Corporation to serve as a non-denominational burial ground for the Sorrento community. In 2023, with the gift of additional property, the Cemetery completed an expansion to more than double its size. To date, more than 75 Sorrento families have chosen this quiet spot as their final resting place.

As a non-profit 501(c)(13) corporation, the Doane’s Point Cemetery relies on the sale of lots, tax deductable donations, and the generous support of the Town of Sorrento to meet its modest operating expenses. The Cemetery is governed by a Board of five community volunteers.
Inquiries as to the sale of lots, donations and Cemetery business are welcome and should be directed to:
