Pioneer Rest Cemetery is very grateful to the many friends that have sent donations to repair the road. We appreciate your generous donations.

The road is coming along nicely. A few more touches and it will be complete. Triple TJ Construction is doing an excellent job of repairing this road and adding features that will keep it from washing out again so badly.

Pioneer Rest Cemetery is in the process of repairing the cemetery from the July 4, 2025 flood. At least 6 graves need attention and one at the foot of the north road is nearly buried in road base.
The north road is impassable and there are a couple of spots on the south side that need attention.
FEMA has turned down every application for funds.

Pioneer Rest Cemetery is in the process of repairing our road that was washed out from the July 4, 2025 flood.

It is tremendously expensive, and we are asking for donations. If you have a family member buried there or if you just love historic cemeteries, please consider sending us a tax deductible donation. Any amount will be appreciated

Christmas is slowly coming to Pioneer Rest. If you have family or friends at PRC, please remember to put out flowers to honor them.

The cemetery has been mowed. Flood damaged graves are being repaired. The rain from yesterday has created more issues with the road on the north side. Do NOT try to drive on the north road. It will be repaired when we figure out a good solution.

As always, remember Pioneer Rest in your end of the year donations. Your donations are the way we can make improvements.
