Coye Church Cemetery is very clean, neatly mown, and enclosed in cyclone fencing. It is on McDonald Rd., just east of Webb Gooden Rd., which are both just east of the Neshoba-Kemper County lines; it is located in T12N, R14E, S18. Of interest is that every single footstone in this relatively new cemetery has been taken up and laid upon the base of its headstone. There is a concrete driveway straight through the center of the cemetery, from gate to gate.
