The cemetery is located in the rear of the church parking lot. A single chain surrounds the cemetery to separate it from the churchyard. The cemetery was neatly mowed and in good condition. (The church building was sold and is now the Pleasant Hill Church of God. A new Cherry Chapel Baptist Church was built in another location about 3 years ago.)
