Cemetery surveyed by Mary Anne Carroll Williams on November 26, 2004 and December 3, 2004.

CONCORD CEMETERY is located on Union Parish Road 6202, Concord Road. From Marion at the intersection of Louisiana 33 and Hwy 551 go west on Union Parish Road 6202, Concord Road. Go 2.1 miles and the cemetery is located on both sides of the road. The North side seems to be the older part of the cemetery. There is a large memorial marker at the entrance to the North side which says:

"A memorial to Concord Church organized in 1842 and the pastors who have served it. The first pastor, S. J. Larkin, served from 1842-1854. A. J. Calloway served in the late 1880's. In 1888, the members of Concord Church were helpful in organizing the Marion Baptist Church. Concord Church was host to the Concord Associational meetings in 1851, 1855 and 1876 and to the Everett Association, now called Union Parish Association in 1915, 1932, and 1941. This memorial erected in 1973 by V. Calloway McCormick."
