About Vansant Road Cemetery
Vansant Road Cemetery was originally established as Clinton Memory Gardens by L.S. Griswell in the early 1960's. It was a privately owned cemetery operating under the name of Clinton Memory Gardens Cemetery, Inc. until the death of his grandson Mike Standley in 2012.
In June of 2014 a not for profit committee named Vansant Road Cemetery Committee, Inc was organized and filed with the state of Missouri. The cemetery was renamed at this time and now operates as Vansant Road Cemetery, a Missouri not for profit corporation.

Our Operation
The cemetery is operated completely by unpaid volunteers, including the board of directors.
​
There are generally two major cleanups performed each year. One in the early spring and one in the late fall. The volunteers also perform mowing and trimming operations on occasion.
​
We are always in need of more volunteers either for the board of directors or for the work crews. Please see the contact page to volunteer.
​
Funding is always a concern for the continued upkeep of the cemetery. Please consider a monetary donation.
