DONATION

SUPPORTING THE LEGACY OF LYNCHBURG CEMETERY AND CHURCH

For more than a century, Lynchburg Cemetery & Church have stood as enduring witnesses to faith, family, and community. Generations have gathered here to worship, to celebrate, and to lay loved ones to rest in the peace of the churchyard. Preserving this sacred place requires both care and commitment—maintaining the grounds, safeguarding historic headstones and fences, and supporting the continued needs of the church building itself.

 

Your generosity ensures that this legacy endures. With your help, we can honor the memory of those who came before us while preserving this place of reflection and inspiration for generations to come. Every contribution—large and small—supports the ministry of remembrance and the stewardship of these hallowed grounds.

WAYS TO GIVE
