Friday through Sunday afternoon
A day of remembrance and reunion.
Decoration Weekend has brought generations of families back to Davis Cemetery. It begins on the Friday before the second Sunday in June and continues through Sunday afternoon. Visitors tend family graves, leave flowers, share memories, and renew connections with relatives and friends.
For many years, volunteers have also welcomed families beneath the cemetery tent and received donations for upkeep. Those gifts help make year-round mowing, maintenance, repairs, and preservation possible.
