The cemetery is located south of US 67/I-30 in Garland, on the west side of Lake Ray Hubbard. Take Marina Drive south a short distance and you will see the cemetery on the left.
The cemetery is private and visitors are not allowed inside the grounds but you can see the marker and several graves from the perimeter fence. You may have to strain a bit to read the marker as it is set several feet inside the fenceline. There are several parking spaces available immediately in front of the cemetery and street parking is available on several of the streets nearby.
