Assumption Cemetery

No Name

The place looks great after the new pavement and the grounds look well maintained now.

Everyday I take my service dog for a walk through this cemetery because it's a peaceful walk near my house and it lets me visit my deceased loved one and feel close to them. On the walk I pick up trash and throw it out as well as pick up the plants/wreaths/decorations that have fallen over or off the graves and set them back up the way they were placed by their loved ones because no one who works here maintains the place what so ever. There are headstones overturned and so fun down with moss and decay that it's insulting. When the grass is mowed it's left all over the flat head stones and isn't brushed off unless someone visiting their loved one does it themselves. I try to clean up as much as I can on my walks as my little way of contributing a small act of kindness to this place and the people buried here. On my walks my dog NEVER goes to the bathroom on someone's grave. When he does go to the bathroom on the grass away from any headstones I pick it up and throw it out. Ive never had an unpleasant day here walking until today when some Karen who claims she works there was driving around with her daughter and decided to make a scene and yell at me for walking my service dog on the pavement in the cemetery. After I let her know that he was a service animal and that he never deficates anywhere near any headstones she continues to berate me for no reason bc I have a dog in the cemetery. She berated me so bad that the people who were in the cemetery visiting their dead loved one came over to make sure I was okay and apologized for her behavior. I'm not sure what crawled up this lady's pants to make her as nasty as she was but it was uncalled for and reflects terribly on this place if this is who they staff. They should take more time to fix the place up and keep up with the maintaining the place instead of harassings it's visitors. If this is how they treat someone who is visiting a loved one I can't imagine how they treat others.

Disgraceful grave stones down all over the place broken trees not picked up grass not mowed such a insult

We went for our annual visit to my parents and aunt and uncle graves and suddenly remembered why we have now decided to make it a once a year visit only! Section 9b is flat and a total disgrace. My wife saw how visibly upset I got when viewing the headstones that were covered with grass clippings. Any promises of upkeep have totally been discarded by the management of the cemetery. Truly a disgraceful place to visit loved ones. My uncles headstone was completely covered by clippings. the photo below shows how I found my uncle's headstone. What a horrible way for the grounds keeper to leave that section of headstones. Take the money and run!
