Traveling north on highway 63 from Lucedale, Mississippi, you will cross the new highway 98 by-pass which runs east and west. Continue north on highway 63 for 3 miles. There will be a road leaving the highway to the left, this is named Eubanks Quarters Road, take this exit and go .7 tenths of a mile. Here you will see Sand Hill Cemetery road on your right, take this right turn and follow this road .3 of a mile where it will then become a dirt road and continue off to your left, the blacktop road leads off to your right and stops at the driveway of a private home. Follow this dirt road another ½ mile and the cemetery will be at the dead end of this road on your right.

I found the Sand Hill Cemetery well kept, and there are numerous unmarked graves. It is owned and maintained by Sand Hill Missionary Baptist Church. This cemetery dates back to the early 1900s and is still used occasionally.

I walked this cemetery on Apr 14, 2007 and all information was taken from headstone inscriptions and some temporary grave markers.
