    Everything is missing from my friends resting place. His grave marker, the decorations, everything that we spent money and time to make it look nice. There is no website no email information no one answered the phone and the door for the office has no hours or contact information posted. There are shards of the decorations everywhere making it obvious the maintenance people drove over him with a lawn mower I cannot believe how much lack of respect there is for the families and people that have passed to have someone in a grave that is completely unmarked there.

It's difficult to locate graves due to the fact that they are hidden by grass or sunken. Perhaps, it's because it is located on the South end of the property. Maybe, it's the fact that the majority of the deceased are of African American decent/nationality. This property has been neglected for years and past AND future people housed here will be treated...read full review
