Seeking a Part-Time Volunteer as Cemetery Administrator

Oak Grove Cemetery, Conway's 140-year-old public cemetery, seeks a part-time volunteer with a flexible schedule to serve as administrator.  With back-up by the seven-member cemetery board, this person will:

• Answer phone calls about past burials and requests for burial spaces
• Mark burial sites for interments
• Handle sales of burial sites
• Meet with the board once a month
  
  

The time required each week varies from zero to about 8 hours.  This is an ideal position for a person who has an interest in Conway history and a desire for community service.  To inquire, call John Courtway at 501-358-6699 or email oakgrovecemetery@conwaycorp.net.

Cemetery-wide Clean-up

 

The Oak Grove Cemetery Board has begun a cemetery-wide clean-up in an attempt to bring all gravesites into compliance with the governing regulations, which are available for review on the Cemetery's Facebook page and website. If you are responsible for a gravesite, please see that it conforms to the current regulations.

Springtime at Oak Grove

"Springtime means many things at Oak Grove Cemetery, one of which is cleaning up around the columbarium."

AHPP - Cleaning Headstones

We have recently had an inquiry about cleaning headstones. Check out this link to an instructional video produced by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. It is important to use cleaners that will not cause further damage to the stone.
