May God bless those honored dead who paid the price that we may live in peace and freedom. The Fenton Cemetery is owned, operated and maintained by a private association of individuals from the Fenton community. The Board of Directors is elected each year at the Association's Annual Meeting. The cemetery is operated in accordance with the Laws of the State of Louisiana under the auspices of the Louisiana Cemetery Board. The Association holds Family Work Days in the cemetery each year during which improvements are made to the cemetery by community volunteers.
Parents bring their children and a picnic lunch is enjoyed by all.
In this way, the children learn the history of the cemetery and what is necessary to keep the cemetery looking good. The next Family Work Day will be held on March 17, 2001. Most Association members have a vested interest in the cemetery by virtue of having family members buried therein or intentions to be buried there themselves. As a community cemetery, burials are restricted to those individuals living within a 15-mile radius of the cemetery. Burial plots in the cemetery are available for purchase from the Association.
