Payne Gap Cemetery “Lighting of Souls” Fundraiser

By / / Payne Gap Cemetery / Leave a Comment

The Payne Gap Cemetery Association announces its annual Lighting of Souls fundraiser. For this holiday season, the association offers an opportunity to place a flickering LED tribute candle on a monument in remembrance and celebration of a loved one at rest at the cemetery. All proceeds go towards maintaining and improving the cemetery.

A $10 donation sponsors one “soul” and includes the candle, installation, and maintenance for one holiday season (Thanksgiving through New Years). The candle is solar powered, weather proof, and automatically turns on at sunset and off at sunrise.

After each name on this page, click Buy Candle to add to the shopping cart. When you are done, click Checkout to complete payment. At checkout, you will have an opportunity to make an additional donation.
