Many of the churches in the Greenback area have been in existence for well over 100 years. A longtime tradition of churches which have associated cemeteries is to have a Decoration Day, usually in the month of May on the 3rd Sunday, during which family members can remember their deceased loved ones and add flowers to their graves. Below are the dates for Decoration Day at several area churches. If you would like your church added to the list, send email to greenback.history@gmail.com
