This small cemetery is in the center of Reeves, Louisiana, across the street
from the Reeves Baptist Church. It is only 100 feet square and boasts three
huge old oak trees and an ancient cedar. There are cement park benches to sit
on and even though it is in the center of town is very quiet due to the
screening of azalea bushes. We found it a very relaxing place to visit.
