Montefiore Cemetery

If you are grousng about how your plot looks, clean it up and stop looking for someone else to do YOUR duty. This old graveyard isn't perfectly maintained but the folks who work here are a very nice, helpful, polite and caring sort. They are happy to provide equipment for cleanup, though you should bring your own to clean up your own family's plot. This can save you a few bucks, but this is a poor long-term solution as the cemetery is getting less and less income from families each year. Alternatively, you can participate in the management of the cemetery-- as a volunteer, of course-- or set up a volunteer cleanup, organize a Boy or Girl Scout Troop for such a service, donate funds for cleanup, do something other than whine plaintively online. I visit at least yearly and try to come by each season. Fewer and fewer visitors, more and more weeds, more-wrinkled faces, larger cars, 50's music wafting from the car stereos...

addendum to previous review: after contacting manager via email and sharing my experience, within hours the plot was weeded and trimmed. Most importantly was the video that they sent for me to actually see that work was done. Thank you so very much! I was also told that next time we plan to visit, contact the office and the plot will be weeded and trimmed prior to our visit. I will definitely do this. Thank you Obviously no one at the cemetery cares about reviews since I have read the previous and they all seem similar to mine, however...... I visited my family's plot yesterday and was DISGUSTED at the sight. (Unfortunately we live 3 hours away and can't visit as frequently as we would like) The weeds were almost knee high, trash everywhere, but the most horrifying was seeing the large hole in the middle of the dead plantings on my Father's grave. SHAME ON YOU. I went to the office and was told by a "not so nice" receptionist that a work order for "inspection" would have to be done prior to any work. THEN a work order would have to be placed. Once work is complete I will be notified in 6 weeks. REALLY?? Again, no one clearly cares, but to any family members that will be visiting their family at Montifiore, come prepared, as we did. Bring your own weed wacker, gloves, broom and other tools to do the work yourself.

We’ve been to several funerals over the past few years. Every time we come, our family plot has weeds and the bushes are out of control. You’d think they make it nice and brush off the dirt off the headstones. Unacceptable.
