Graveside Service

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

Starts at 12:30 pm (Eastern time)

12:30 is an approximation of when graveside services will start. There will be an escorted procession from the church to the cemetery immediately following the Home-Going Celebration at Neptune Baptist. The start of the graveside service is contingent upon the time services at Neptune Baptist close and the length of time it takes to process to the cemetery. If you are planning to only attend graveside services please consider these factors and be sure to park at a distance from the gravesite at the cemetery so that the procession vehicles can pull up to the graveside as needed. Thank you for your consideration.
