About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

From the intersection of Hurts Chapel Rd. & Beech Bluff Rd., east of Jackson, travel north on Hurts Chapel Rd. for 0.8 mi., turning east (right) into the driveway leading about 100 yards east to this large cemetery. The Hurts Chapel CME Church is about 0.8 mi. further north.

This cemetery is located on Hurt's Chapel Road about 4 miles east of Jackson and about a mile north of Beech Beech Bluff Road. The cemetery lies a few hundred yards away from the path of the tornado in May 2003. Three trees within the cemetery and a number around its periphery were destroyed. At least six markers were toppled or broken. Most markers indicated as "fallen" were not damaged by the storm but fell for other reasons — such as the base sinking into the grave. As many as a third of the graves here are unmarked or marked with temporary marker plates which have long since lost their information.
