Nice cemetery but grounds upkeep could be more consistent. Water spigots are a long walk for some especially at the columbariums. Some areas are irrigated and are greener than the rest. Grass trimming around monuments and columbariums is hit and miss.
It used to be well kept, and I thought they did a good job maintaining the grounds. I just visited my mom's grave recently, and was so sad, and at times right out angry, about how bad it was. I have visited it many times before but things were so bad it took me about 15 minutes just to find it. I kept passing over an area that I could have sworn was where it was because it just looked like a pile of dirt. Finally after searching and searching and not being able to figure it out, headstones looking dropped in wherever, I went back to the dirt pile. At closer inspection, and moving grass, goose poop, and lots of dirt, I uncovered my mom's grave stone. Shameful to let headstones get buried. There were tons of geese there and goose poop everywhere. Lots of holes on the ground, very soft, and I sunk with every step. I was worried I was going to sink into the ground among the coffins. Not nice.
I love the fact you can still plant real flowers and lots of wildlife in the city
Little to noisy for my dead body to rest easy
A great place for an eternal rest.
