Cool place to take a walk, I love the herd of deer that take refuge in there, they are super cute!
I am disgusted and so disappointed in this man's actions. He was so incredibly rude, when there was absolutely no reason to be. Understandably, he had a job to do, but he for sure didn't need to act like a wild child while fulfilling it.
First of all I'm giving it 1 star because it is beyond enchanting and amazing.
Mi Familia, Beautiful family areas and mule deer in late Summer. Giant Maple leaves fall in late October in the South. The first non- denominational cemetery in the state.
This is the cemetery my sister is buried at and I love how it feels every time I come here! The grounds are always very well maintained, there are usually quite a few deer which never fails to put a smile on my face, windchimes in many of the trees that people have brought for their loved ones, beautiful views, and just an all around peaceful feel to it! I gave 4 instead of 5 stars because I purchased a headstone from a different company and was told only the cemetery can put it in, so it was an extra 125... probably pretty common though! I was just hoping to have it all done at once by the company I chose because I'm impatient, it's done now though and I couldn't be happier ❤
Wow.. just wow.
Second, I am an owner of a photography business and I was doing a spooky shoot with some girls on the cemetery property. I had checked online for closing times and rules of the property before going, as I always do. So we shoot for a couple hours, people stop by and tell us how cool the girls' costumes look etc. We are finishing up, when the grounds keeper pulls up and begins to tell us off "No one wants to see you prancing around here, insensitive. Maybe you should learn a thing or two. We close at 6 and this is not allowed!" I apologize and tell him we are just about to leave and that we had seen others taking pictures here just a few minutes ago. The website said they were open until 8 and no where had it said photography was not permitted on the site. He tell us off again, embarrassing me in front of my clients, then drives away. We walk back to our car, which was parked on the other side of the cemetery so it took us awhile to get back. But we get back to the cars and the girls need to change out of their costumes, when the grounds keeper pulls up again next to us and begins AGAIN to tell me off "I bet you've never had anyone die, but no one wants to see this." And so on and so on for a good 5 minutes. The whole time I'm keeping a level head and being very respectful. He continues, trying to provoke me! He starts to drive off again after he sees he is not going to get a reaction out of me. I begin to tell my clients good bye and he slams on his breaks and screams at us "I told you to get out!"
And this doesn't sound like a one time thing, It seems others have had similar experiences with the same man.
I've been dead for years and I couldn't have asked for a better final resting place. There are few evil persons buried here, and none of them continue to roam the grounds. This helps to provide the right visiting atmosphere at any hour. I meet the nicest neighbors after our loved ones depart. Those of us who visit here often have formed a guardian group. Just as our visitors pay their respects, our group will pick those in most need and guide and protect them together. I am so grateful to have met so many wonderful individuals whose timespans never allowed us to cross paths, but whose neighboring burials have.
Sickened and disgusted by the actions of this man.
