Mother,
I spoke to Ms. Gray this morning. She is the director at a small funeral home in Paradise, CA and is handling
Aunt Billye’s cremation. The family does plan to bring her ashes back for burial at the Lilac Cemetery but it
may be several months before they do so.
Thanks for forwarding the email. Ms. Gray was very appreciative of the information I was able to give her and
was also grateful for the quick response she received from Jerry Caywood. (I’m copying him on this email).

Hello Ms. Gray,
First off, Our condolences to the family.
A fellow MCHC member has informed me that Mrs. Rachel Owen Graves presides over the Lilac Cemetery
Association. Due to maturity, a Ms. Penny Reddington is assisting her in that responsibility. Ms. Reddington
resides in Austin and I have been unable to source a telephone number for her.
I believe that your best course of action would be to contact Rockdale's very helpful Phillips and Luckey
Funeral Home. I'm sure that they are aware of the Associations requirements, cost of plots (if applicable) and
Texas State requirements of depth of urn etc.
Phillips and Luckey's contact tel. number is (512) 446-5454.
If I may be of any future assistance, please rely to this email.
Respectfully,
Jack Brooks
