Chapel Fund
Cemetery Chapel Fund
As early as the late 1960s, a handful of concerned citizens started a project to build a chapel at the Marlette Cemetery. They felt that a permanent shelter to help keep people out of the elements while they were saying "goodbye" to their loved ones was an important part of any funeral service.

In the early 1990s, the Marlette Ladies Pinochle Club decided it was time to resurrect this worthy project. After much discussion the committee decided to hire an architect to suggest a basic, economical design. The architect informed the group that they need a minimum of $85,000 to get the building erected. The chapel will be constructed of cement blocks. It will also contain a furnace room and a unisex handicapped accessible bathroom, that will be completed at a later date.
