Cemetery Plant

This plant is growing at a local cemetery (East Texas), and I would like to have it identified. It is approx. 10 feet tall and 6 ft wide at the bottom. It has been there as long as I can remember (at least 15 years), and the stems grow out and up.

I thought perhaps it was a boxwood, but the leaves look more pointed than the boxwoods I have. I also thought yaupon holly, but as I only have dwarf yaupons in my garden, the stems seem more pliable than my dwarf yaupons. I wish I had a yaupon tree to compare, but I don't. I thought it would be taller if it was a yaupon tree? And bigger around at the top?

It is very easily propagated. Never has berries. I am also attaching a photo of the "inside" of the tree to show new growth inside, as it looks like it could take shearing or hedging well. This one has never been trimmed.

Thanks so much!
