Comments:  This cemetery lies on a hill in a pasture. It is surrounded by a white concrete wall topped by red tile and is clearly visible from the road. There is no gate into the cemetery; a stile provides access instead. The entire surface of the walled area is covered by concrete. A bronze tablet, set in concrete, reads, "Funk Family Cemetery 1968. Sadly missed, in loving memory of each one"
There are probably several more graves here. Cemetery is approximately 20 ft across the rows, with 5 rows in use.
