Welcome to Candies Creek Cemetery in the Eureka Community of Bradley County, Tennessee. The mission of Candies Creek Cemetery is to provide a sacred, peaceful place for burial as well as to provide a space for prayer, reflection, and remembrance. For almost 190 years, historic CCC has been a place, not just for the dead and the grieving, but it has also been a place where the living can learn about their ancestors, take a quiet walk, contemplate the passage of time, discover scripture, poetry, and art, and reflect on the lives of those who came before.

Candies Creek Cemetery is maintained strictly by donations. Your help is greatly appreciated! Our largest ongoing expense is seasonal paid lawn maintenance which is done bi-weekly from March through September. Volunteer groundskeeping continues year-r0und. Thank you to our donors! (Click here for photos of work done in 2025 by Drew Graham and the Tree team and Mitchell Delmotte and the 2025 Lawn Maintenance team.)

Since 1985, CCC has been an entirely separate entity from Candies Creek Baptist Church and receives no funding from the church. If you wish to make a tax-deductible contribution to the Cemetery, please send a check, made payable to “Candies Creek Cemetery”, to either Sabel Hooper, 8669 Eureka Rd. NW, Charleston, TN 37310 OR to Candies Creek Baptist Church, 294 Old Eureka Road NW, Charleston, TN 37310 (clearly designated for and made payable to the Cemetery).
