“Not So Definitive List of Decoration Days” in Hardeman County and Surrounding Areas
Shackelford Funeral Home recently shared its Not So Definitive List of Decoration Days in our area. Decoration Days are a time that rural communities gather to clean and decorate their local cemeteries. Decoration Day is thought to be the inspiration for Memorial Day.
The cemeteries in bold type are those about which they have questions. If you can clear up their location and Decoration date, please reach out to Shackelford through its Facebook post and let them know. Updates to the original list may also be found on the Shackelford post.
