LOCAL CEMETERIES

At a cemetery, lives are comemorated, deaths are recorded, families are reunited, memories are made tangible and love is undisguised.  Communities accord respect, families bestow reverence, historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.

Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved in stone to pay warm tribute to accomdplishments and to the life - not death - of a loved one.  The cemetery is homeland for family memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living.

A cemetery is a history of people; a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today.  A cemetery exists because every life is worth remembering - always.  Ashe County is a very unique area.  Our heritage includes over 700 family, church, community and city cemeteries.  If we can be of any guidance or help in locating or choosing a cemetery or to learn about the many services, fees and applicable bylaws, please ask for our assistance.
