Suzy:

Checking the Geographic Names Information System (US Geoligical Service)
shows a Prichard Methodist Church with an associated Pinecrest Cemetery (at
least it's located right by the church) in Mobile, AL. To see a map locating
these features go to the web site

http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/

(yes, that is a dash between www and nmd) and select "Geographic Names
Information." Then select "United States and Territories," once there, enter
"Prichard" as the feature name and choose Alabama as the state and Send the
query. You will get a list of all the features in Alabama with the name of
Prichard. You can double click on Prichard Methodist Church to see a map
locating this church (don't overlokk scroilling down to view the detailed
map). Now if you backtrack and enter "Pinecrest" as the feature name, you'll
find that there is a cemetery located at almost the same spot as the church.

Hope this helps.
