Add PhotosDeath certificates for the old burials in this cemetery have the burial place as 'Ashport' while some death certificates in the 1950's have 'Arp' (the community) as the burial place. New burials in the newspaper list this cemetery as 'Bluff Cemetery'. Most of the people who are buried there lived in the "Ashport Bottom", where the Mississippi River flooded almost every year, which prevented burials there; so they brought their loved ones to high ground on the Ashport Bluff for burial.
