Best Cemetery Independence Near Me

Jessica Brown: My son is laid to rest there. It is always so peaceful and quiet to go and visit my son every time.

Chad Groves: Nobody was In office though they close at 3pm arrived at 215pm

Sergio Gil: Peace and love place

Sergio Gomez: Beautiful place for ours loved

Terri Burton: It's very nice cemetary but I would love to have permanent flowers to stay there more than one week. Why taken up too soon. I see other cemeteries leave whole summer.

Noel P: Any cemetery is great, it is a final resting place for this life and should be respected.

Molly Dash: I'm really upset that they take all the flowers from the graves and throw them in the trash after Memorial Day. The last 2 years I've spent alot of money and time making the arrangement for my daughters father who is buried there. I alway have a theme/ story behind the arrangement. It was only at the grave for about 2 months and we went there yesterday, it was gone. Same as last year. Very disappointing. 😢

Ross Dwyer: I am going to be buried here

Cindy Hammond: Great place .Mike makes you very comfortable and very helpful with all my questions

Amy Kistler: Nicely maintained, staff is very helpful. Great historical resource for genealogy all the way back to early pre-civil war era.

Mary Koenig: This was the first time in years that we have been able to visit my mom and dad’s grave and not had a bad experience. The road was freshly paved (it was in an awful state of disrepair), the grass was mowed and the lane to get down to the grave was nicely filled in for easier walking, and most importantly the tomb stone had been trimmed around and slightly leveled. We had inquired about everything before and asked that better upkeep take place but the previous owners said they couldn’t do anything. It was very frustrating! It was such a pleasure to visit the cemetery this time with all the improvements. Thank you so much for all your hard work! It was very appreciated!

Salvatore Migliazzo: Happy to have the Westside gate open. Looking forward to improving conditions with new owners. I will be having my monument and flat marker’s refurbished.

Stanley Eckert: I have to say very suprized, indeed..

Ryan Milum: I'll give three stars for now (up from only one). I read the Memorial Day flyer about the new ownership. I'm excited and hopeful that they'll take the necessary steps to make Mt. Washington what it deserves to be. I can definitely see the improvements made so far, but there are certainly more steps to be taken. The older section of the cemetery (on the hill) was still not as well maintained as it should be, though portions of the road are notably better. Again, I'm hopeful that the new ownership will continue making the much needed improvements. I look forward to next year's Memorial Day and the idea that the ENTIRE cemetery will be well manicured. I'll be sure to update this review with those findings.

Not Skip Bayless: These cocksuckas lost my grandmothers headstone. Was there for over 10 years now going to try and find her, her headstone is missing and I can’t locate my grandmother. Neither can the cemetery. Same as my grandfather which he is placed to rest next to my grandmother. Called the office an they didn’t seem to care. Said if the headstone is gone, it’s gone and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Fern Deatherage: I am so pleased that someone is finally making an effort to improve the cemetery. It was sad to see it deteriorating.

Virginia Peters: Very pleased! The best the cemetery has looked in years!

Julie Cunningham: Would see cemetery many times on bus

Nevin Marshall: Really nice cemetery

Becky Krueger: The staff was very helpful in helping me find my g-g-grandfather's grave.

Eva Figueroa: Horrible service , just because I purchased a headstone elsewhere, they have no sympathy in rushing to put his stone because I didn’t purchased with them , which I can’t afford there prices, my husband is there he should have some kind of priority as anyone else , my father in law was buried there just a few days ago and I understand deaths happen everyday and they are busy but having respect for others is also important, we have 3 family members there and they obviously just care about money and don’t care about people’s feelings, keep in mind they have no AC where they make the services at I had to rent a industrial fan to keep our guest cool, horrible horrible experience

Marty French: I find the natural beauty and the history fantastic. The new chapel mausoleum is very nice. A beautiful place.

Cindy Baker: Cemetery is in terrible condition. Graves collapsing, not mowed. We were robbed there. Beware as the office told us it wasn't the first time someone had been robbed there. Don't go there alone.

Mamie Davis: The lady working here couldn’t tell me the kind of preneed plans they were selling. It seems like staff really doesn’t have much experience.

Faery Fire: Trees

Jade Magee: I've been in search of my 2nd great grandparents grave sites ( not buried together). I went into the office today & their staff was super helpful & sweet. I had my toddler with me & they were fast & knowledgeable. They looked up my loved ones & brought out a map & also gave me a Xerox copy to take along. Mr Jim Woods went above and beyond to help me locate these relatives in the really old parts if the cemetery. He drove up to the first stop & met me there got out and we looked together. 😊. Then he marked with flags along my next stop to my g.pas location. So helpful!!! Very pleased. Thank you all so much.

Daliah West: Beautiful cemetery. My mom was laid to rest here. She chose a mausoleum space facing the sunrise. The mausoleum they have is beautiful. The service they provided was above and beyond. All of the funeral counselors and service coordinators were great. They all were kind patient and compassionate as we went through the details of choosing a casket, location and time of the service etc. My husbands Granny was buried in Leavenworth cemetery but we were able to arrange to use the mausoleum chapel for her visitation. It is such a beautiful place. We were so comforted knowing we could provide Granny the beautiful service she deserve. If I’m not buried here I definitely want them to take care of the visitation and service for me.

Marcie Franklin: Someone vandalized my grandpas headstone... took the bronze base and all... office didn't care, in fact I asked about insurance for a claim for it to be replaced and the guy told me sorry it doesn't cover it..... in the morning I will make a police report .... very very upsetting!!!

Melodie Johnson: Storms knocked out a bridge inside the cemetery over 2 years ago and it's still not fixed. The rock walls around the perimeter are crumbling and not being repaired. My parents chose this location in the 60's to be their final resting place and now that they are there, so sad it's not being maintained.

sandra roberts: I've been walking my dog here for the last year, Only place I felt safe and it is so beautiful and serene there and then today a grounds keeper came up to me threatened me cussed me out said I was trespassing which I never knew that cemeteries were not open to the public he blocked the entrance so I couldn'tleave and then call the police on me. I felt harassed and he talked to me with such vulgar language I would never recommend anybody going to this cemetery to be treated like that. Nowhere is there a no trespassing sign and even on the website it says that everyone is welcome

Theresa Howard: I will share that this is a PRIVATE CEMETERY and thus you are not allowed in to look or learn unless you belong. I state this because there are no signs posted saying anything except the hours. My husband and I are history/ culture scholars and when we realized that there was a Cemetery in the area that we hadn't seen anything about we decided to take our nightly walk there. We have done this at Woodlawn, Mt. Washington, and Mt. St. Mary's. We stay on the paths- do not walk among the graves. We were rudly asked to leave and though I understand completely the fear of vandalism the whole thing would have been avoided if it were posted ANYWHERE that this is a private Cemetery. I also thought it tacky that the same man that told us to leave drove away- then waited up the street to make sure we left. He could have easily waited on property if he were that concerned. I hope that the place stays as lovely as it is and will never return because now we know.POST A SIGN PLEASE.
