1. Welcome to Comecos Cemetery Marker

Inscription. Established in Wichita Falls, Texas by Dr. Dan and Eleanor Roberts. Their interest in cemetery memorials, their keen observations and sense of humor lead them to create this unique attraction. The cemetery was originally located at the Roberts' home and veterinary clinic in Wichita Falls, Texas. Upon Dr. Roberts retirement and the selling of their property, Comecos had a stay in Iowa Park, Texas. Dr. Roberts ultimately made the decision that his "cemetery" should eventually be returned to Granite, Oklahoma where all of the stones had originated. This cemetery stands in honor of Dr. Dan and Eleanor Roberts, "friends extraordinaire".
