Hill Cemetery is organizing a work day on March 21, 2026, subject to weather conditions, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Our focus will be on collecting limbs and clearing leaves to prepare for mowing. Asking volunteers to bring rakes, leaf blowers, and other yard work equipment to help clean up our cemetery

Please share so we can have a great turn out!

Today we did some cleanup at the cemetery thanks to 3 youth from the Forest Hill 4-H club that was very helpful Charlene, Rachel and I appreciated any help we could get.

Old flowers were taken down and we found several blown in the brush. A couple saddles were blown and several spring flowers, if these are yours they are all up toward the front. As you pull in. We want to note there was a very nice Christmas sled and flowers that we left for now. Hopefully this is removed soon I'm sure someone would like to hang in to it. If not we will pull it up and set up by the barrel up front.

Just a reminder that we will be at the cemetery this Saturday at 12-12:30 we will be cleaning up decorations that have blown about, cleaning up any trash, and raking leaves.
If you have decorated for spring/Easter before March 23 we will not throw every decoration out. If a decoration is falling apart and clearly weathered we may throw it away to help the lawn care service.
Boy Scouts will also be helping that afternoon. You are more then welcome to help just bring a rake or some yard tools

With Spring in the air and the Easter holiday coming March 31, please arrange to pick up your Fall / Winter decorations. We will be going thru the cemetery removing the flowers left to get ready for the Spring / Summer decorations.

I wanted to repost this message:
I wanted to write a short message for those who may not know that when you or a loved one passes away and the funeral home goes over the final request and wishes, some people choose to have donations to their church or to a designated organization in lieu of flowers. But did you know that you can also have donations given to your cemetery. The funeral home has a contact and the information for the cemetery where you or your loved ones will be laid to rest.
Please keep this in mind, I'm sure that the cemetery where you have chosen would be very appreciative of this donation.
The expenses for upkeep of the cemetery can add up. Donations are always accepted and greatly appreciated.

Very old stones pushed over need set back up.

7/11/20- We have had several people ask us to set up a Go Fund Me account so they can donate to help with expenses for repairs and several checks have been received, we thank you so much!
After checking into the Go Fund Me account the fees they take off the top is 2.9% per donation, we felt it better to let donations be sent to Hill Cemetery in full. If you would like to donate to repairs of headstones please send your donation to:
Town & Country Bank
C/O Hill Cemetery
188 Pine Street
Bourbon, MO 65441
(573) 732-4433
Please mark your donation for vandalism repairs

7/10/20- I’m planning to go to the cemetery and make a list of all the names of the headstones that have been damaged. I will post all for everyone to see when I have it together. I’ve got the map and the report I’ve made with names so the ones that are not visible I can look up. Also we will try and get someone in to quote the repairs so we will have this to go with the police report. Once this is taken care of we will make some more decisions. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH ANY HEAD STONES UNTIL WE LET YOU KNOW THAT IT IS OK. IF YOU SET THEM UP I CAN’T HAVE IT QUOTED.

I have been told that some homeowners insurance can cover things like this. Maybe check on this if your families headstones have been vandalized/broken. A police report has been filed, we can let you know when it is ready if you need to get a copy. Get in touch or send us a message.

Within the last two weeks someone with help of others destroyed 29 headstones at the cemetery. All from mid cemetery down the hill staying out of view of the road. Some very old some fairly new. One lot the family had a bench and they took they broke the seat off and threw it on the headstone busting up the seat.
If you have been to the cemetery between June 24 thru July 8 please let us know. We are trying to narrow down a time frame as to when this vandalism happened.
It’s so sad to see this damage and so difficult to understand why people get satisfaction out of this destruction.
Someone will speak up and talk if you hear anything please let the police know or get in touch with us we will keep you’re name private. Hill Cemetery is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.
This will be in the newspapers.
If your family is buried here please check on their headstones making sure they are ok.

Well looks like the closer we get to March 17- Saturday workday the more the rain predicted on Sunday has been creeping up to Saturday morning. Thunderstorms for Friday night have not change or moved up either. So the ground will be pretty wet from then if not the rain we get on Saturday morning.
So as for now we will have to reschedule our workday for another day. Please check back often to our page for any updates. Hopefully April!
