Please note regarding location –

“It is hidden. You won’t see it unless you’re looking for it…You have to travel up an alley easement and then you’ll see it once you get there. A lot of people are surprised when they see it.” USE YOUR GPS. From 635 LBJ Freeway, north on Preston Rd., left on Preston Oaks Rd. to right on Cedar Canyon Rd., to right on White Rock Union Cemetery.

 
When you turn onto Cedar Canyon Road you will be in the Oaks at Preston Ridge Apartments at 5619 Preston Oaks. Go all the way to the back of the complex and you’ll see what appears to be a gated alleyway on the right. The gate should be open ahead of the tour. Proceed up the easement and you will see the cemetery gates on the right. Turn into the open gate and drive up the path towards the pavilion near the back and park anywhere there aren’t headstones. 2009 Mapsco 15 F-E
