ORANGE GROVE AND GRACELAND CEMETERIES FUND

The Orange Grove and Graceland Cemeteries Fund supports public areas of the Orange Grove and Graceland Cemeteries such as repairs, maintenance, and improvements of the grounds. Hurricanes Laura and Delta caused major damage to the cemeteries. The assessment of oak trees by a skilled arborist, then removal and maintenance of those trees, has been one of the priorities since 2020. The volunteer board members have also managed the installation of a new fence along Broad Street. Other projects including a new sign over the main arch to closely resemble the original one, and continuing upgrades of gravel roads, will be made possible through tax-deductible donations to this fund.
