She was buried in the cemetery in Hanover; which was then part of Norwich, but since 1861 has been part of Sprague, Connecticut. The cemetery is across the street from the Hanover Congregational Church on Main Street in Hanover, Sprague, CT. The Hanover Congregational Church was built eight years earlier in 1761. She was buried in the Hanover Cemetery by the church in Norwich. She is buried on the right-hand side, about halfway in. Her gravestone reads: "In Memory of Mrs. Kezia Bishop, Consort of Mr. Caleb Bishop, who died Jan. 19th, 1770 in the 49th year of her age."
To the left of her grave is a Strong, maybe her daughter's mother-in-law? And to the right of her is Mrs. Abiel Bishop, wife of Elijah Bishop, which is perhaps her daughter-in-law.
