My wife is providing the following feedback.: My 93 year old father was buried in this cemetery on February 18, 2022. Buried next to my mother, he is one of the over 100 members of my family to be buried in the cemetery. BE AWARE that the cemetery policy is that there is only one tombstone per grave allowed in the section that they are buried in. In other sections you can have more than one tombstone, one at the head and a second at the foot of the grave. Two tombstones are also permitted in many other cemeteries around the country. My Father is a Korean War vet. He fought for our country and he was proud that he would have a military marker. That will not come to pass, as it is against the cemetery's policy. Since Mom purchased a double bronze flat marker over 40 years ago, that is all they can have. If we want to remove that & purchase a new one for Mom & a military one for Dad, we can do that. It seems to me that at a time when people are grieving, the cemetery personnel should make things easier rather than harder. They also told me that if someone is buried in a grave and another cremated person is interred on top, the cremated person does not get a stone. When My Mother died in 2006, Dad wanted to add a vase to the tombstone & add "Beloved wife, Mother & Grandmother. He was willing to pay the difference & the tombstone was not made yet. We were told he could not change anything because it was already paid for. Dad told me to order a matching stone for her to match his military one when he died. All they will permit is a Military medallion glued to the current stone. So I cannot keep my promise to my Dad. This cemetery's policy's are too inflexible!

This would be a much nicer cemetery if the entitled dog-owners of Delhi would stop walking their stupid mutts through it. Not everyone wants to step around dog excrement while they are paying their respects. Since when did the cemetery turn into a dog park?? Gross!

This is an example I ordered a temporary marker for my father cause the florist we use always puts our flowers on the wrong grave site and it’s annoying and makes visiting so sad buts it been removed I guess by the care taker his marker isn’t ready yet till next spring and I really hope I get to visit soon cause I’m gunna to give the caretaker a good talking to what about the family’s who can’t afford big fancy marker or monument such a disgrace they take that away from a family
