Clergy Grave Markers
The Holston Conference Commission on Archives and History has established a new policy concerning the United Methodist Clergy Grave Markers which have been given to families of the deceased for several years. Increased costs of manufacture and distribution of the grave markers has exceeded $3000-4000 per year. Regretfully, the Commission cannot absorb these costs in its limited budget; therefore, the Commission will provide the grave markers at cost (presently $150.00) to the families which request them. The Commission expresses appreciation to Mrs. Marie Willis who has given all diligence to this project across the years.
