Important note:
"As of 2016, Temple Emanu-El in Longview applied with the state to have their Hebrew section inside Memory Park recognized as a separate Harrison County cemetery. It was recently granted by the Texas Historical Commission. They are working to get their burials moved over to the newly designated area that is to be their cemetery. There is no current plans to erect a fence, so it may be confusing where Memory Park Cemetery stops and the new one starts".
