My grandparents are buried in a cemetery located is West Jackson, Ms. By the zoo if you know the area. I haven’t been there in years because I value my life and don’t want to get shot! It was a very nice area when they bought the plots. Now it’s a war zone. It’s help me make the decision to be cremated and my ashes spread.

I remember reading a newspaper article about a grave on private property in Louisiana that I found fascinating. IIRC, there was a Civil War skirmish on a family's property and after the skirmish was over and the soldiers left, the family found the body of a young Yankee and buried him. He was carrying identification and they had a gravestone made. After the war, the family was able to contact the next of kin of the young Yankee and the family promised them that his final resting place would be cared for. The article showed pictures of the gravesite and it was very neat, grass trimmed, etc. The same family still owned the land and followed through on their promise.

Either Cedarlawn or Lakewood if further out. Only visit in mid morning. My paternal grandparents are in Lakewood and my parents decided to choose a cemetery in Madison for their gravesites. Thank God.
