This used to be a peaceful place. They have decimated the plantings by hacking them down to nubs. They remove flags, it is full of ants, you can’t put flowers they mow them down. Now they’ve stolen my daughter’s placard. The priest in charge doesn’t care.
My wife's parents remains are in the mosoleum, a space they bought years ago for the beautiful view as a last resting place. They were promised a meditation garden, quiet area with benches was to be built there in the future, instead the cemetery has now constructed a shed, right next to the mosoleum blocking the view! Talk about a ripoff! They paid for that spot for the beautiful view....makes you cry, what they did!
Beautiful cemetery and wonderfully laid out. Recent changes which they will actually say is them "finally enforcing the rules that have always been in place" have caused maintenance staff to be a little aggressive in throwing out mementos or grave decorations that pose no aesthetic degradation of the cemetery. Bristol Press reports in 10/22 that they also uproot and throw American flags/holders in the dumpster now. If things we leave for our departed loved ones are thrown out so aggressively, why should we bother visiting the cemetery anymore? Consider cemeteries that are more compassionate.
If I had to do it over again I would NEVER bury my loved one here. The new man in charge harasses you and violates your loved ones burial site. There is no compassion by the priest or staff at the cemetery. The family is put through trama by them.
They usually remove anything left by loved ones which is highly disrespectful imo.
The new owners are disrespectful people they take away your grave markers they throw away your flowers
This place was very clean, grass trimmed, plots were looked after as well.
