Each year on Memorial Day, many of our cemetery families and neighbors visit the Mulkey to decorate graves and pay their respects. This year, Memorial Day falls on May 28, and we’ve arranged for two special musical performances. At 11 a.m., we’ll welcome bagpiper Lynne Jones. Ms. Jones loves piping and has played at festivals and events throughout Oregon. At noon, we’ll be joined by the Hammered Brass Quintet, a Eugene-based ensemble. The Mulkey Cemetery is a nonprofit, community-based cemetery located at 3335 S. Lambert St. in west Eugene. For directions or more information about the cemetery, please visit our web site at http://www.mulkeycemetery.org.
