Kathy: On my recent trip to Mercersburg I talked to two people who were knowledgeable about local cemeteries, one was the caretaker for Fairlawn Cemetery and the other was the local funeral director, both told me of two other cemeteries one was the old Seceder graveyard and the other also old was the Slate Hill cemetery. I have not heard of any others, except possible private burials on the farms.

Dear Kathy: There are only about 158 Cemeteries in the Franklin County area ! My record (If that is the correct word to use) Going to Friends and Family members funerals is 56 in one year ! that is an average of one funeral a week . Always go directly to the Cemetery office and they can check thier books or computer and give You information , Don't go to some lawn and shrub care person (caretaker) , Before You go to a Funeral Director call and make an appointment , The last thing You or Anyone should do is just show up You could end up disturbing a Funeral ! After time they wikll get to know You like , Jim at G.B.F.H. and Paul at L.F.H. know Me it's good when You are on a first name basis with People ! >From: "gordon crooks" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [PAFRANKL] Burns Cemetery >Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006 07:46:07 -0400 > >Kathy: On my recent trip to Mercersburg I talked to two people who were >knowledgeable about local cemeteries, one was the caretaker for Fairlawn >Cemetery and the other was the local funeral director, both told me of two >other cemeteries one was the old Seceder graveyard and the other also old >was the Slate Hill cemetery.
