Located on Rt. 10S, 7 mi. from Oceana, on the mountain left of Joy Manufacturing Plant and Pineville Drive-In Theater. A dirt road, with locked pipe gate, winds to the right around the mountain. The cemetery can be seen from the highway if coming from Pineville, but cannot be seen approaching from Oceana.
This cemetery cannot be appreciated from the roadside view, but once in the cemetery it is quite awe-inspiring. The area has been leveled to the right entrance, gently smoothed to the larger left side. While totally encircled with tall oak trees, they allow a wide angle view of the mountains on the far side, the highway to the end of the long straight stretch and the many homes in that area. I'm told Jim Acord and son keep this "Place of Sacred Memories" in top condition year around.
