Azalea Lane is on the west side of Rt. 609 (Peaks Mountain Road), .3 mile from its intersection with Rt. 608 (Coal Creek Road). On my first visit to this cemetery I found it in good condition and well maintained. On my recent visit I found that livestock have been in the cemetery and many of the monuments have been toppled over and some of them are broken. There are at least 19 graves marked with fieldstones or indicated by sunken ground.
