Highway 4 adjacent to Grandview and the three historical burial parks
known in the area as Odom, Oakland and Antioch cemeteries.
The Association is a 501(C) 3 unincorporated association of plot
owners which is not operated for profit and governed by unpaid vol-
unteers serving on the Board of Trustees.
The 2014 officers of the Association are: Ralph Rockett, President;
Joe Ross and Roy Tackett, Vice Presidents; Susan Ray, Treasurer and
Mary Helen Ferguson, Secretary.
Prices List: Single coffin grave plot: $1100, single multiple depth
grave plot for two coffins: $1500 *
Contact person for sales and burial site locations: Sharon York,

The Association is entirely dependent upon donations and the pro-
ceeds of plot sales for the funding of its operations, including the
maintenance and preservation of the gravesites and burial park roads,
pavilions and the common area. A portion of the proceeds of the plot
sales are invested in a managed Perpetual Care Trust Fund for the pur-
pose of producing additional income for maintenance and operations.
Individuals and organizations are encourage to make contributions
or bequeath financial gifts to either the Association’s Capital
Improvements Fund Account or to the Perpetual Care Trust Fund
either as a memorial for an individual or family or to honor an indi-
vidual or family.
