Directions to Cemetery

We'll be performing our ceremony inside the Evangelical Covenant Church across the street located at 220 E Harrison St, so please head there when you arrive. This location gives us more space than the Petit Chapel we used last year. Please arrive a few minutes early as we'll be starting the ceremony promptly at 11 AM. 

Parking Instructions

There is plenty of parking nearby this cemetery at the church next door, so feel free to park in any available spot.
