V poradí již tretí zvon byl vysvecen 23.8.2009 ve zvonicce na návsi v Pohrebacce. V nemeckém Pasove jej nechala ulít ceskobudejovická zvonarská firma a posvetil jej farár Pawel Nowatkowski z Opatovic nad Labem. Zvon dostal jméno Vavrinec podle patrona opatovické farnosti svatého Vavrince.
Vavrinec mel v Pohrebacce dva predchudce. Ten první pocházel ze 17. století a padl za obet první svetové válce. Zvon druhý si pak obcané Pohrebacky porídili ze sbírky ve dvacátých letech minulého století. Za druhé svetové války jej však potkal stejný osud – byl roztaven a použit na výrobu zbraní.
