PALESTINE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH CEMETERY

Henderson County, Tennessee



            Like many nearby Pentecostal churches, Palestine 

Pentecostal Church established a cemetery during the 1960s. 

The cemetery is located on a narrow strip of land between the 

church and its outbuildings on one side and an athletic field 

on the other side. When visited in 1999, the cemetery suffered 

from a grave decoration fad. Most graves were surrounded by a 

raised border and covered with white sand or white gravel. 

This would make moving and trimming difficult. In 1999 the 

difficulty in mowing has been dealt with by using an herbicide 

to kill all grass around the graves, so every grave was 

surrounded by a ring of dead grass, as seen in the photograph 

above. David Donahue recorded this cemetery May 1, 1999.
