I'm very disappointed in this cemetery. They do not care about anyone loved one being buried there. They're just out for the money. The outside workers are the ones damaging the vases on the headstones. When they mow the grass. I thought outsiders was doing it until one of the workers said no the ones who mows the grass runs over the vases. I should've buried my son somewhere. I came out one day and the dirt was sunk down really bad several graves were. Instead of them taking the flowers up that's not in vases they need to pack the graves more better and keep the grass cut. Stay far away from Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. If you don't you will regret it

STAY AWAY FROM THIS CEMETERY!!! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES! IF YOU JUST WANT THEM DUMPED IN THE GROUND WITH NO CARE THIS IS YOUR PLACE! But if you want a dignified and respectful burial for your loved one please go elsewhere! They’ll also make excuses as to why things are this bad but frankly this cemetery has been abandoned with little care. It’s nothing but neglect that causes it to get this bad.

My biggest regret was having my son buried here. Imagine grieving the loss of your child, coming to pay respects and this is what you come to. The lack of respect for our loved ones are unacceptable. To the left of my son is my brother, after a complaint about the rock and nothing was done, I took it upon myself to buy a shovel and dig the rock out myself. Kirby always blames the rain, that’s why my son site looks like that. This the second time. We’re in Texas where it rains it should be something in place to avoid the dirt collapsing. Then have the nerve of trying to picky about what we put on our love ones grave like they’re DFW cemetery, like it’s uniformed and these graves ain’t even up to par. Weeds everywhere, ants biting and grass not even green but trying to tell me I can’t decorate his grave.

Questions & Answers

Why is the cemetery overgrown with weeds & unkept? Is it that they don't care because it's a predominant 'poor' black cemetery in a poor neighborhood.

No, I used to work there about 10 yrs ago. They need good workers...that can keep up with the maintenance of the cemetery...and make yr love ones grave look nice.......

Do you still have markers because I'm looking for my mother's headstone I believe she's in 69 or 64

Yes there are markers and both blocks 69 and 64 are in the back. I did a review and added a picture of the map. If you can't find that picture, I'll try to explain. Basically, when you drive down Murdock Rd, take a right into the cemetery and take your first left. Go down 7 "blocks" and take a right in between blocks 8 and 9, heading toward the back of the grounds. You'll come to a roundabout. Go around until you exit on the opposite side. Drive down between blocks 30 and 31. Then cross another lane, continuing straight toward the back, in between blocks 40 and 41. The road ends at a T. For lot 69, go right, it's the last block on your left before the road curves/turns right. For lot 65, go left, it'll be the second block on your right. I hope that helps.

Where is the baby land located at

Babyland is in the back. I did a review and added a picture of the map. If you can find that, look for block 65. Basically, when you drive down Murdock Rd, take a right into the cemetery and take your first left. Go down 7 "blocks" and take a right in between blocks 8 and 9, heading toward the back of the grounds. You'll come to a roundabout. Go around until you exit on the opposite side. Drive down between blocks 30 and 31. Then cross another lane, continuing straight toward the back, in between blocks 40 and 41. The road ends at a T. Go left. The next block on your right is Babyland. I hope that helps.

How do I locate certain graves

If you have their lot and block number the yard has concrete y’all markers that mark the block. The lot number is the row and the space the in order from end to end. If you are out there looking by yourself be sure to count spaces with no headstones because there could be someone buried there. It’s best to go during their business hours and have a yard worker (I think that’s what they call them) to go show you. They have a map and will look up that persons exact location. My experience was pretty emotional and horrible to say the least. Apparently there’s an old lot and a new lot with the same name. At the time my mom didn’t have a gravestone and one worker took us to a spot. For years that’s where we would go. When I bought a headstone or marker they took me to a whole different place. I refused to let them put it there because I thought it was the wrong spot. They had to go get an original blueprint and look up others that had been buried on the row with her to match names.
