GONE - BUT NOT FORGOTTEN


Cemetery Inscriptions of Rapides Parish
Volume 1 through 5
Mary Parker Partain & Jane P. McManus

This list contains the names of all the cemeteries in Rapides Parish that the authors have been able to identify using Corps of Engineers Maps, US Government maps, National Forestry maps, and personal knowledge of residents.
Some cemeteries are known by more than one name, so they listed every name by which it might be known, and they listed the name where it was actually recorded.

Many Rapides Parish cemeteries have complete tombstone transcriptions now online because of the hard work of Jane Parker McManus and others. The transcriptions can be found at Rapides Parish, LA Cemetery Records .
