Tons of history, wish the grounds were better maintained.

My grandparents, aunts, uncles and many cousins are buried here. Several years ago, it was let go and the conditions deteriorated. When my brother died, I went back to the cemetery and found it to be in excellent condition. A Mr. Medeiros was in charge and he really cleaned the place up. I now plan to inter my parents there when they pass.

It is a very peaceful place, however very sad they allow the plots to get the way they are.

This place is a disgrace. the City of Providence has a perpetual care fund for the cemetery that has been tapped for use in other area, mainly Roger Williams Park. i had 4 newscasters do stories with me in interviews, and I had to exhume my late Mothere Joan T. Heed from there in 2005 due to the poor care and management by the city. I re interred her in Our Family Plot In Brooklyn, NY.. Holy Cross Cemetery. She & My father Joseph M. Heed rest together there now. 'SHAME ON YOU PROVIDENCE PARKS DEPT. SHAME ON YOU FORMER PROVIDENCE CITY MAYOR DAVID . CICILLINE. ON BEHALF OF ALL THE POOR SOULS STILL BURIED THERE...SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!

Hi Mildred - thank you for asking. If you are just visiting a grave, that falls under the social gathering limit which is currently limited to members of no more than three households outdoors. if interested in information about graveside services, those are limited to no more than 50 people as of March 4th, 2021.

They offer land plots, for funeral services you would have to go thru a funeral home.

You can also email them (there's a link on findagrave). They got back to me in about a week with all the plot info.
