The following testimonials are from a few of the cemeteries we have helped:

"I want to express my thanks for the Friends of Rural Cemeteries taking on the responsibilities of the annual fees for the next three years. That will make a big difference in the monies available to Cedar Grove. Again, I thank you for your help and support..."

"When we first met with Mr. Stoecklein we had no idea of the journey ahead. Thus with a great deal of guidance from Mr. Stoecklein our journey began. We did not have the burial records, the maps of the cemetery, any accountability from the cemetery management, or even a phone number. Most of all there had never been any income to the cemetery other than lot sales, which a portion of was funding the meager maintenance program. Through his guidance, encouragement, and the unbelievable generosity of the Friends of Rural Cemeteries we are well on our way on this incredible journey..."
