    1. [SCCHESTERFIELD] Ideas for care of cemeteries
    2. Jane Foley
    3. Hello! I need ideas, suggestions and opinions on how to set up a bank account out of state to help with the care and cleanup of a small family cemetery that is on private property. It is fenced with a chain link fence and is in the middle of a pasture. I have someone there now who has taken it upon their own free will to clean it up. The gate was off. Ice storms had broken tree limbs that had fell on at least 1 of the tombstones and broken it. There is other weather related damage done to it. It is located in AR. My idea is to send out a letter to the descendants of that particular branch of the tree and see if they would like to donate some money to a bank account in the area to pay someone at least twice a year to take care of it. If any of you are doing something like this, tell me how it is working for you. I'm looking forward to your answers. Jane Foley Cornelius, NC
