My husband and I both have our fathers buried at this cemetery and my husband left messages for the proprietor twice about spousal burial for our mothers and have not been able to garner a response from this cemetery whether by phone or online. Does anyone besides a groundskeeper actually operate this facility?

What a lovely, well kept, peaceful, place. This cemetery is manicured and well cared for. I am very fortunate to live in a community where we have such a fine place for our deceased veterans and their spouses
