Join the Friends of Oak Grove Cemetery

Friends of Oak Grove Cemetery Re-Established

The Friends of the Oak Grove Cemetery group is being re-established to assist in the fundraising efforts related to specific projects for the improvement, maintenance, and beautification of Oak Grove Cemetery. The FOGC group acts as an arm of the Oak Grove Cemetery Board and is dedicated to the support of Oak Grove Cemetery, Conway, Arkansas. Any person interested in projects to improve Oak Grove Cemetery, is eligible to be a member of the organization.

There are always needs like upkeep of the grounds, mowing, weed-eating, trash pickup, and removing twigs and fallen branches. There are infrastructure improvements needed: fencing, developing the new 2 acres of property given by the city, drainage improvements, street repaving and building a pavilion. It is important to the City of Conway and to all who have treasured family members buried at Oak Grove, to continue to make the cemetery a beautiful place.

Please make a donation and be a part of the effort to make this historical cemetery a peaceful resting place for those who are buried there, and those who will be.  A one-time donation or a monthly donation would make a huge impact!  Payment can be made using the QR code below. Checks, Cash, or donations through Paypal are accepted. 

You are also encouraged to contribute more than the yearly dues using the tiered system of donation levels:

$25-$99 Friend
$100-$249 Contributor
$250-$499 Sustainer
$500-$999 Benefactor
$1,000 + Patron

  • Adopt-a-Street Cleanup, November 9, 2024
  • The Big Event Cleanup—Assisted by volunteer college groups, March 8, 2025
  • Memorial Day Service/Decoration Day, April 26, 2025, 10 a.m.
  • Gone But Not Forgotten, TBD

Thank you for your continued support of the Oak Grove Cemetery. We look forward to continuing to maintain a place of peace, comfort, and solitude for the community.
