Holy Sepulcher Cemetery

Gary L. Aguirre Jr.

Sitting down to write this review I realized this is really a review of over 40 years in the making. So I've decided it deserves my full heartfelt and verifiable experience here in the hopes it helps anyone on the fence about what its like here. Forty years in the making because I remember coming here quite often with my Father at a young age to pay our respects to my Grandfather. The forethought was always of how peaceful it was and still is here. I think the impression of tranquility upon a 5-7 yr. old has to be of genuine sentiment or at the very least remarkable lol, but that's how long I've been visiting and this is the feeling it gives. For 20 of those years I resided in Texas and any time I flew in I was sure to stop by and visit my Dad who now lays in rest here as well. Being so far away it gave me peace of mind to look around a see how well manicured the grounds have been kept up. As I've gotten older I find myself making more stops at different areas within this most sacred ground and I see how loved ones are visited by their families here and you just know you're at a special place. Recently I've been on the business end of the experience of losing a loved one and it's the last thing anyone wants to deal with when you're traversing such strong thoughts and emotions, but let me tell you about how well Rhiannon Roberts and the team of people behind the scenes there at Holy Sepulcher really stepped up and took care of us during a time of loss. Rhiannon displayed professionalism and compassion in a way that made it feel more like we were talking to a friend than some kind of business interaction. She maintained a respectful follow-up which was helpful because the mind forgets to sign this, e-mail that and just the administrative paperwork that's necessary but no one thinks about during loss. Understandably we're overwhelmed with matters of hospice, coroners, death certificates, mortuaries etc. then top it off with an unprecedented event like COVID! When all we want to do is grieve and remember what's important....the one we just lost! Makes one wonder how anyone gets thru it all! Well, its because people like Rhiannon and the rest of the staff there that support her. They made this hard thing less hard, I dare not say easy because nothings easy when it comes to this experience. Thank You and God Bless The Staff of Holy Sepulcher past and present for taking care of my Family Always & Forever! p.s. We're so quick to write a review when something doesn't go our way, it should be even more recognized to do so when something goes right.

Restrooms are now closed to public and the port-a potties located adjacent to the office are beyond filthy and disgusting. This poses a health hazard as the entire inside of each of the four units were covered in waste, including the floor. If the policy is to close the restroom to visitors, the outdoor out houses should be clean and maintained properly. The portable hand wash stations were in not much better state as bugs and insects were flying all over.

As far as cemeteries go, this one is tops in my book. As of 2021, I have a few relatives here and when I visit them, the view reminds me of the happy hunting grounds of native legend; rolling hills of chaparral. It is with bittersweet agony that I will enjoy this view again; knowing that with the view comes a death in the family.

A holy, peaceful cemetery, especially during Christmas. May all souls Rest In Peace there.
