Thanks to the 1100 visitors who attended Spirits in October 2013!  In years past we have heard people say as they were leaving that they now felt more connected to the past and to the community after learning the stories of Macon's former citizens. This year a frequent comment was, "I can't believe I haven't come to this event before and I will never miss it again!"


Revenues from the event will help to preserve, to enhance and to share the beauty and history of Riverside Cemetery for the benefit of future generations.

 

Please fill out a brief survey to help us make the event even better next year.

Macon Death Cafe, November 10, 2-4 p.m.
 

A Macon church and cemetery have teamed up to host a local discussion of death over tea and cake.

Riverside Cemetery and Centenary Church are sponsoring a death cafe from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, at the cemetery Gatehouse.

Stacey Harwell, community minister at Centenary, says the event is about having a place for a healthy and ideology-free discussion of death.
