THOMAS E. CHASTAIN
Manager
Mr. Thomas Cha'stain has
been in the cemetery business
for the past ten years and has
had a wide background of ex
perience in the operating of a
Memorial Park.
He is a native of Cleveland,
Tennesee.
Mr. Chastain is very en
thusiastic about the visions
which he has for the future at
Pinelawn Memorial Garden.
He, along tfith the owners,
are hooking forward with
pride to making this one of
the finest Memorial Parks in
the South.
J
That’s the way the owners described to the landscape
architects what they wanted for the new Memorial Gar
den in Laurens County. This Memorial Garden is owned
by a group of leading citizens of Laurens County and the
Southern Cemetery Consultants of Pickens, South Caro
lina. h
In a setting of great natural beauty the architect has
designed for this area what could become the most beau
tiful Memorial Garden in the entire Southland. This will
be a place where dozen of private gardens form a single
design in the whole landscape.
Magnificent sculptured features will mark the center
of each garden. Each garden will symbolize some me
morial moment in the life and teachings of Jesus. In
the hearty of the Garden will rise a historic statue of
Jesus, in calm contemplation of all the private gardens.
Each of these great sculptured groups will be lighted till
late at night and the whole setting by day or night will
be an appropriate place to linger, meditate, contemplate
and seek comfort from the world of cares, a place of
magic serenity and beauty.
To mark your loved ones’ graves you may select an
appropriate bronze lawn-level name plafpie which will
forever stand in beautiful tribute to enduring love and
devotion. It wjll speak in quiet dignity of ageless ties of
love and devotion.
We cordially invite everyone within the scope of this
paper to visit Memory Gardens during its development
stage. It is located very conveniently to Clinton and Jo
anna on Highway 76.
It has been said the one great decision of love is the
decision of the head of each home to plan with his wife
the family’s final resting place. It is not a decision to be
made in a moment of tragic loss; nor one to be made that
denies the living the quiet, thoughtful choice of a place
of immortal beauty and tranquility to viait again and
again to be re-inspired by the living memory of loved
ones who have passed on.
