Northwood Cemetery

I spent over an hour 2 days in a row searching for my Father. Ive placed flowers, statues and other items on my Father's headstone so I could easily find him when I come to town to visit. When I lived in the area I would go regularly to pull weeds and clean his marker. I want to replace the marker but I cant get a return call.

This cemetery, where many of my relatives are interred, has been decliing rapidly over the last 8-10 years. A number of the gravestones at my mother's family site have been chipped away due tp being struck by large mowers either hitting directly or by the blades skimming the top smaller stones to the point where names are no longer legible. My father's site, only 7+ years old, is in much better condition, as it is much smaller and located at the top of the hill. However, over the past 6-7 years, we have personally been tending to the graves as grass/weeds are overgrown sometimes 1-1/2 feet high. This is also in an effort to prevent further damages to the markers. Once my generation has passed, I'm afraid to think about the condition this cemetery will be in.

My parents and sister are buried there. We've been pleased with the location. The management people were wonderful at the time of burial.

Beautiful cemetery overlooking Downingtown! Many of my father's family are burried there. The caretaker is a really nice guy!
