St. Matthew’s Parish on the eastern side of Nassau had three separate cemeteries: the churchyard cemetery and Centre Burial Ground were for whites; the Northern Burial Ground for nonwhites. Grace Turner posits that the African-Bahamian community intentionally established this separate cemetery in order to observe non-European burial customs.
