It was both a very somber and wonderful experience. Cheltenham is very well kept. The memorial service for my daughter's father was handled with dignity, grace and care! Ty! 🙏🏽🌹

My Grandmother's, Aunt and Grandfather are buried here. Its a beautiful place. I was having trouble locating them today and when I asked the older woman behind the desk for help she completely ignored me and did not say anything even though she was right infront of me. I had to wait for the gentlemen to come in and assist me. He was very kind and helpful. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I am brushed off like an annoying person when asking for assistance finding deceased loved ones.
03/05/2025- I attended a burial for a dear friend. I had seen this cemetery but never really thought about it. The service was in the chapel area around 10:30 am, the flag was given to the son, there were a small number of family and friends in attendance. The casket was then rolled out towards the burial grounds. No horns were played. No military processional. No lowering of the casket into the ground. It’s was cold outside and it felt sad. “I’ll Miss you , my buddy”. His eye is on the sparrow. R.I.P., Clarence “Pete” Hicks( nickname EZY Smooth, bass player and band leader of the Legendary Smooth Band-DC. * Thank you for your service.
