Hawkins Cemetery has been a community owned cemetery since 1890 when George W. Kee sold it to the community. Spaces are reserved, not purchased. Reservation fees paid to Hawkins Cemetery are used for maintenance only. Unused spaces can be given back to the cemetery or re-assigned to a family member. Hawkins does not ‘buy back’ spaces.
As of April 1, 2024 traditional space reservations are currently $1,500.00 plus administrative fee of $250.00, TOTAL: $1,750. Cremation burial spaces are $750.00 plus administrative fee of $250.00, TOTAL: $1,000. Selection of spaces is by appointment and full payment for burial spaces must be made prior to burial date. Fees are subject to change without notice.
Interment at Hawkins Cemetery is arranged after opening and closing have been scheduled through the funeral director. An outer burial container is required for traditional burials and is ordered by the funeral director. Scheduled burial dates and times should be adhered to closely. Any changes in date/time should be arranged at least twenty-four hours in advance by contacting Hawkins Cemetery Association office (817-360-3217). Hawkins Cemetery volunteers assist with parking at burial services.
Families should request the funeral director to place a temporary marker at the burial site for identification. We ask that a permanent stone marker be placed within one year. Markers are set by appointment at least one week in advance. Single and double spaces must be paid in full before marker can be set.
