Decoration Day 2016

The Annual Bankhead Cemetery Decoration Day celebration will be May 22, 2016. Before Sunday, volunteers will clean up the cemetery, and many families will decorate graves the day before and the morning of the celebration.

The memorial service will begin inside the Chapel at 11:00 AM CST. The guest speaker of the morning will be The Rev. Dr. Don G. Brock.

Everyone is invited to bring a picnic lunch. Tables are provided. This is a great time of catching up with friends and family.

Lunch will be followed by a Business Meeting of the Bankhead Cemetery Association at 1:30 PM in the Chapel. The short business meeting and election of officers will be followed by an afternoon of singing by local singers and special guests Point of Honor.

It is a good and honorable thing to remember and memorialize family members who have gone on before us. Be a part of this great tradition.
