Its Picnic time! The Association will provide the meat, drinks, plates, utensils and ice. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.
Burial Arrangements: Our cemetery is available to all in need of a final resting place or placement of cremation ashes. Please contact Judy Tally Greffe to reserve your plots. Email: [email protected] or phone number (512-762-9087).
Memorials: A special way to remember your loved ones on the occasion of their birthday or other memorial dates is a contribution to the ORRC in their memory.
We have the History of the Old Red Rock Cemetery Books. Created in 2007, it is 342 pages of our history, family genealogy, photos, brief stories of the people and families buried in the cemetery, a cemetery diagram, and alphabetical burial listings. Purchase price of $50 includes a searchable electronic version on a USB and shipping costs. To order a copy, send your check payable to the Old Red Rock Cemetery Association, 2155 Dale Lane, Dale, TX 78616.
Have you ever wondered about a cooler month? In our last newsletter we asked for comments and input on changing the picnic to a cooler month. We received comments from less than 1% of our patrons. The Board discussed this matter in our March, 2023 meeting and the picnic will remain the second Sunday in June.
