This cemetery is NOT in the city of Buena Vista, but is on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Shenandoah National Park, Rockbridge County, near the Buena Vista overlook. Find-A-Grave choices would not allow a county without a city as the entry.

This cemetery is located near Milepost 47.5 South, visible on the left in trees, with a service road leading to approximately one-half acre gravesite encircled by a chain link fence, with an additional approximately one-half acre parking lot. It is a well-kept cemetery that is mowed - headstones appear to be fairly new.

It is speculated this was a family cemetery left by a displaced family when the Blue Ridge Parkway was built. More recent burials have occurred there.

There are two temporary grave markers in this cemetery from Lomax Funeral Home in Buena Vista, so I inquired about them. The Lomax Funeral Home in Buena Vista was owned by Whitten Funeral Home in Lynchburg, but ceased operation around 2010 and burial records were given to the city of Buena Vista, according to a Whitten Funeral Home spokeswoman. I called the remaining funeral home in Buena Vista, Bolling Grose & Lotts, and spoke with a gentleman who was familiar with the cemetery on the Parkway and who gave the proper name for it, Noel Family Cemetery.
