About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Cemetery is located on a wooded hill behind a church, not visible from the Old Hickory Tree Road. The access road is on the right-hand side of the church.

Florence Union Cemetery is located on a wooded hill behind Florence Union Church (Once known as Florence Union Chapel) which is off of Old Hickory Tree Road in rural Bristol, Tennessee. Access to the cemetery is via a moderately steep, narrow, gravel and grass drive on the right side of the church. There are dozens of unmarked graves in this cemetery as well as several unreadable headstones which are worn almost completely smooth from time and the elements. The surrounding woods are beginning to encroach on all the borders of the cemetery. While it is obvious the cemetery is mowed, little other maintenance occurring and many stones are being lost to neglect. There is a higher-than-average number of funeral home markers where there are no headstones- some of them from several decades ago- indicating the rural and impoverished area of the cemetery and the families likely unable to afford headstones. There is at least one instance of a homemade, hand-carved headstone in Florence Union.
