"Clean, beautiful and helped me find the perfect spot on their new mausoleum for my beloved mother."
"I just received a text from my sister saying she couldn't find my parent's marker to place Mother's Day flowers, and when she contacted them they couldn't find the location. My parents are buried in the Cremains location, section PP, and when I went to visit them back in November 2023, I couldn't find their marker either. In fact, I dug up over 33 sites trying to find theirs. It looked like gopher holes once I got done but no luck. My dad passed in 1987 and at that time his marker was there. Although I moved out of state, I could still find it around 2014. My mom passed in 2022, and last year was the first time I visited the site of both, and it's now gone. I was told by my bother and sister who both live in NJ that it was there after my mom's passing, so how did it disappear. The upkeep of this area is horrible. They do not do anything to maintain the markers. They allow them to be overgrown by weeds and sod, allow the markers to sink, and get completely covered up by soil...it's horrible. And, it's not just my parents. There are at least 33 other markers which haven't been kept up. This is supposed to be a historical and active cemetery, but it falls so below in the management area . They are not a cemetery I would recommend to anyone."
"I have a YouTube channel where I exhibit cemeteries. Especially the old ones. This was a very well maintained, historic graveyard and I really enjoyed the experience! 5 STARS!! *****"
