Prairieville Cemetery

*Attention*

The Cemetery Board has been made aware of an individual who is stealing flowers from local cemeteries and using them in her personal floral business.

Prairieville Cemetery Board does not condone the act of theft and will report to authorities any suspicious activity or known theft on its property.

At this time we are not aware that a theft has occurred at our cemetery but wanted to let the community know to be on the lookout.

Being a community cemetery and not tied to any other organization, church, or religion- we rely on donations to function. The building pictured is used several times a year but most importantly on All Saints Day when many people visit the cemetery.

The roof has become damaged which has lead to damage on the interior as well. The Association is currently exploring the costs to repair or replace the structure. None of this can be done without the support of the community.

The goal of the Prairieville Cemetery Association is to keep this corner of the parish beautiful and not let it fall into disrepair or become overgrown and unsightly.

Please send your donation in any amount to the address provided. If you would like to become more involved in the cemetery please get in touch for more information.

Prairieville cemetery was born from disaster. In 1785 the Great Cravasse occurred and flooded much of Ascension Parish. It's estimated that 300 people perished in the flooding and were buried in a common grave, unmarked and undocumented on what was then the highest point in the area. - Louisiana COD by Buddy Stall pg 113.
