Vine Street Hill Cemetery

"They will remove your loves temporary planks from there sites and will not let you know they did it. They are very insensitive to your feelings of your love one. I do not recommend using this cemetery. I wish we never went to them."

"It is essential to have access to the place where our loved ones are resting, and it should not be a complicated process. Our father's urn is located in the mausoleum at Vine Street Cemetary. The locks on the building have been changed on numerous occasions over the last few years. NOT ONCE has office staff attempted to reach out to us to ensure that we recieved the new key. My sister and I live 8 hours away and have had to visit the cemetery at least three times and provide THE SAME contact information and we still have never been contacted. To drive that distance and attempt to open the door with the key we've been given and find out that the locks have been changed AGAIN and that the office is closed is frustrating, emotional and draining. It's completely unacceptable! It is clear that the cemetery management needs to improve its services and communication with its clients. It is essential to respect the feelings and emotions of those who have loved ones buried in the cemetery. Every visitor to the cemetery, especially those with family members buried there, should be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion and this facility has failed in that regard!! Losing a loved one is a painful experience that should not be complicated further by inadequacies in the cemetery management!!!"

"Before and after photo of me clearing off this grave located in section 14. Many of the headstones are completely covered. Please, I'm begging the grounds keepers to bag and dispose of grass clippings instead of letting them pile up over graves. So many people's markings are being lost by poor grounds care."

"You can tell that this cemetery is one of the oldest in Cincinnati. Right in the heart of the city and in the historic Clifton neighborhood. With that being said, this should be more of a reason for the owners/keepers of this land to maintain it and make it more appealing. I have a lot of ancestors buried here and to see how the grass is often overgrown and how some plots have been damaged overtime is just saddening."
