Also known as the McKeansburg Cemetery and sometimes as the Union Cemetery, it is located behind Christ Church on South Race Street in McKeansburg just off PA Route 443. The first burial was in 1814 for Susanna, wife of Balthaser Bock (who donated the land). However, the church was not formally started until 1828. Until 1981 it was a union church of the Lutheran and Reformed faiths. Today it is known as the independent Christ Church McKeansburg.

The Old Section is next to the church and ends at the second noticeable gap (just after the ground starts to slope downward). It consists of the oldest burials with burials from the 1900s mixed in (particularly on the left side of this section). The Lower Section starts where the Old Section ends and continues downhill to a relatively low flat area. It consists of mostly newer burials starting in the 1900s. The Back Section is behind these two sections. The first row consists of grave markers placed closely together and back to back (with some grave markers facing east and some west). These are usually the newest burials.
