The Forest Grove Church Cemetery was established in 1885 when Maxey Blanton was buried in a lone grave on a hillside on the Blanton family farm. The Blanton family deeded land to the Forest Grove Baptist Church in 1886 to provide a public cemetery to the church and the community. The cemetery is owned by the church and the association that oversees the upkeep of the cemetery is a ministry under the umbrella of the Forest Grove Baptist Church.

Burials in the cemetery are restricted to members of Forest Grove Baptist Church and members of the Forest Grove Community. For burial and lot information you may contact
