The Friends of Oak Grove Cemetery is now accepting orders for our 2009 Memorial Tree Program. Orders for our Fall planting must be received by September 30th. We would like to thank all those who have made this past year a tremendous success. A total of 30 trees have been planted since the program’s inception. Trees may be purchased for $175 or $160 for members. Annual membership is $25. Those interested in purchasing a tree or becoming a member, please contact FOG president Michael Keane at 508-642-9636 or via email at friendsofoakgrove@yahoo.com. It is not necessary that a loved one be buried in Oak Grove in order to purchase a tree. The Friends is a volunteer organization dedicated to the restoration and preservation of this historic cemetery. Our work is officially recognized by and coordinated with the Fall River Board of Park Commissioners.
