Ray feels that serving on the Hailey Cemetery Maintenance District’s Board is an honor and privilege. Through the exceptional efforts of present and past board members, the Hailey Cemetery District has improved its offerings and service to its patrons.
During his tenure on the Board, Ray has seen many changes: New and more efficient ground maintenance equipment; Fence enclosures for the grounds via a grant from the Seagrave Foundation; An extensive Columbarium addition which has helped improve the cemetery’s capacity and choices for patrons; A Gazebo for family and private meeting; and improved records and information retrieval are just a few.
