From as far back as the War of 1812 and as recent as the War in Iraq the Long Creek families gave the ultimate sacrifice as they lost a loved one in their fight for our freedom. Long Creek honored its Veterans with the raising of this permanent flag pole so that the memory of their service would never be forgotten.
Many times throughout the year small American flags are placed at each of our known Veteran's graves. It is a sight to behold as you can view the great number of heros layed to rest within the Long Creek gates. To honor our Veterans in unmarked graves we also display American flags in an area on the grounds...much like that of the Tomb of the Unknown.
See our Veteran's Page for a detailed list.
Welcome to a New and Redesigned website!
This new sight has been launched to help families get closer to the days of Long Creek that can only be shared by the memories each of them hold.
This site was created in an effort to help families with their Genealogical Research and also to pay respects to the ancestors of the past, to the families of today and the generations to come. Within these pages you will find a listing of Long Creek's current burials, as well as, an alphabetic listing of all "known" burials and all "known" Veterans.
In this website you will find Family Stories, Tributes, Obituaries, and the history of Long Creek Cemetery and the Long Creek Cemetery Association. I also hope to began sharing information on the history of the once Long Creek Community and the history of the Long Creek Baptist Church. , of which so many of our past and present families are a part of. Visit this site to find out about planned gatherings for the Cemetery and/or Families as they are shared and opportunities for you to become involved. You will also find other useful information such as contact details, photo gallery, etc.
I will work to continuously keep updating this website with the latest information so that you are always up to date with all the information I might have to assist you in your research.
If you have any feedback on how we can make our new website better please do leave a message on our Guest Book as we would like to hear from you. You can also email me at longcreekcemetery@sbcglobal.net with your questions, stories, ideas or with research questions.
NOTE: Please note the new email address for contacting the Cemetery Board is longcreekcemetery@hotmail.com for any burial needs you may have, or call 469-684-5083.
