Faulkton Cemetery Association Fundraising Project

The mission of the Faulkton Cemetery Association is “to restore, preserve, document, and safeguard our cemetery and its history for future generations.” In keeping with this mission, the Association has begun a fundraising project to straighten and realign gravestones throughout the cemetery.

After careful research, the board has identified a company capable of completing this important work. The cost is $5,000 per day, with an estimated 5 to 6 stones repaired daily, depending on the extent of damage. The process of identifying and prioritizing the stones most in need has already begun.
The Association is committed to contributing funds toward this project; however, due to the significant cost, the total number of stones repaired will depend on the amount raised. Additionally, because of scheduling and availability, not all identified stones can be repaired immediately.

The Faulkton Cemetery, located south of town, is a special and sacred place honoring those who came before us. The Association works diligently to preserve its dignity and history.

If you would like to support this effort, donations may be mailed to:

PO Box 292
Faulkton, SD 57438
For questions, please contact Board President Alan Kathner at 605-216-7563.
The board sincerely thanks you for your consideration and support.
