My Great Great Grandfather is buried here, near the pyramid. There was no headstone on his grave, so I asked the cemetery staff if there was a way to have a headstone placed. They gave me all the paperwork to request a headstone. for $100.00 I was able to have a beautiful headstone placed within a few months. Truly a mystical place. Well worth the visit.
Beautiful cemetery. Definitely on of the top three I have considered. The privately available plots are reasonably priced. The only problem is that the cemetery website lists an email address, but they never reply to any message you send them. Personally, I find that insulting. The implication is that somehow my email was not good enough to warrant a reply. Most likely, they just have an overworked staff, or an irresponsible administrator, or both. In any case, the lack of response is sufficiently unpleasant to make me hesitate to call them.
It seems weird to review a cemetery, but it is a historical site, and it's a significant one that is worth visiting. Although the website says maps are available in the office, the office is closed on weekends. There are bathrooms there though, so that's nice. The PDF map is available on phones though.The map marks significant figures, and for the most part the roads are marked (not all though.) Some roads are wider than others, so it's tricky to drive and pull over in some place and there are some streets I was praying no one was coming the other way because it was so narrow. But in other places it's easier to park or pull over. It's an old cemetery so it wasn't designed...read full review
