What is Perpetual Care?  Perpetual care is an assurance to you that Cleburne County Memorial Gardens will be maintained and taken care of for eternity.  A portion of the selling price of every grave is put into a perpetual care fund, administered by the State of Arkansas, that cannot be touched by anyone forever.  The principal amount remains invested and funds drawn from the interest earned are used for the maintenance and upkeep of the gardens.
