We ask that you save the cemetery parking for the elderly or handicap. We have additional parking at the KUB on John Sevier Highway with a warm shuttle bus ready to take you to the cemetery and return you to your car afterwards. PLEASE help us with parking issues, PARK AND RIDE THE WARM SHUTTLE BUS.
