Overview

Mission

We provide a local community service by providing and maintaining a cemetery.

What it reported doing in 2025

Thorn Cemetery Association provides and maintains a nice cemetery to serve the needs of the local community. Most board members have family members buried here and we take pride in giving them a dignified resting place. We endeavor to care for the cemetery and by extension the family members of those interred here so that they may have the burden of losing a loved one eased a little bit.
