IMAGES OF OUR PAST - THE HANDS OF JESUS - MEMORIAL GARDENS, U.S. HWY 80 WEST, BETWEEN DUBLIN AND DUDLEY, GEORGIA

As you attend funeral services for your friends and family

 at Dublin Memorial Gardens, you have noticed the 

four statues of Jesus positioned 

in four gardens around the cemetery.

Dublin Memorial Gardens, originally named the

 Sunset Memorial Gardens,  was founded by O.L., 

Mildred and J.L. Kleckley in 1956.

The first Christ statue, carved from Italian carrara marble,  

was dedicated on Sunday, May 5, 1957.  Sculpted by an outstanding, yet unknown,

 Italian sculptor, the statue was dedicated by 

Rev. John D. Campbell, Jr., Rev. Charles Allen 

and Rev. James Callahan. 

The first statue, six-feet, six-inches high, was placed

in the Garden of Our Savior by the McNeel Mable Company

of Marietta, Georgia on top of a 12-foot cross of Georgia Marble.

The walkway is made of Tennessee colored stone.
