It appears that her final resting place was marked by fieldstones, but a modern, gray granite headstone now complements that arrangement. Mr. Parrish is buried next to her on one side, and according to Findagrave, their three children are buried on the other side. Crosses and ivy are on either side of "First Grave in Concord Cemetery" near the top of the headstone, and the inscription reads:
Elizabeth Boddie Parrish

Born 1832

triplets who are also interred here.
