Hi Wendy, I am sure about the cemetery and that there should be headstones. I talked with the funeral home in Searcy and he gave me the name of the cemetery. I also have a funeral announcement that a family usually mails out and it says Oak Grove Cemetery in Searcy. I do not think my Father-in-law would put his father in an unmarked grave anymore than his mother having an unmarked grave. They could well afford the cost back then. I do not know what is going on unless someone did not do their jobs since my father-in-law was in Miami, FL and not overseeing the work done.
