It is Decoration time again at Central. We hope you will plan to join us on Sunday, June 27, 2021 “up on the hill” to remember and honor our ancestors. We will begin gathering around 10 o’clock and have a brief service at 11:00 a.m.

As is tradition, we encourage you to visit the Cemetery on Saturday, June 26, 2021 to “spruce up” your family graves. Many families visit to clean the moss and dirt from their loved one’s grave stones, brush off the bases of the stones, and decorate the graves with flower in anticipation of Decoration Day on Sunday. Bring the kids and a picnic lunch and enjoy our beautiful place of remembrance!

We need your continued support to keep Central vital. So far, due to our many generous donors, donations have kept pace with expenses. Help us to continue that trend! Please mail your donations to:

Central Cemetery Fund

151 Cherry Stone Avenue

Bluefield, Virginia 24605

Thank you to folks who have already made donations this year: Orrin and Margaret Anderson Morris, Billy Cornett, and Blaine and Susan Keitel.

We are mixing things up just a bit this year. I have mailed a post card to folks without internet access. This will be followed up with the customary newsletter in July. That way we can report more completely on the events of Decoration Day and have an updated list of donors.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday, June 27th at Central!
