Assumption Cemetery – Chapel & Mausoleum

My uncle was buried here about 2 years ago
Very nice and clean cemetery, feels warm more then other cemeteries.
It would be nice if they didn’t pick up the flowers.

I have compared cemeteries and this one feels warm. For those who are into family this is the one that feels best to me. People actually come and visit their relatives and the graves and add decorations and flowers. I have been to others that felt cold and you can see that none of that celebration is allowed.
To many families this works and that is great, not for me. we compared this one to Cook-​Walden and there was just no comparison.
People don’t just bury their dead here and go away forever, they keep them in their thoughts and come back when they can. They have allowed statues, benches, wind chimes, etc. I chose to bury my brother here this year and my husband has his father buried here, his Mom’s parents and others in the family.

I agree, it might seem weird to review a cemetery, but why not. Buried our father here about 12 years ago, and it is awful.
Yes, there are signs posted that flowers will be removed on the 1^st Friday of the month, but if you look closely you will see very old, faded, plastic or silk poinsettas or Easter lilies year-​round! Grave markers are sinking, the «grass» lawn is rarely mowed and is really weeds!
Made a complaint to St. Edward University who seems to be the sponsor, but little has been done. A new fence was finally installed to replace a falling down one. The caregiver just rides around in a golf cart.
What happened to the Catholic Work of Mercy of burying the dead with dignity?!
[As an aside: «Assumption Cemetery» — it is a Catholic cemetery and the name is referring to the Assumption of our Blessed Mother (the mother of Jesus), whom the Catholic Church teaches was assumed (taken up) into heaven, body and soul because she was conceived without Original Sin. Remember the Immaculate Conception?]

This is a very well kept, clean Cemetery-​Chapel & Mausoleum. Very peaceful on the grounds.

So yep it is wierd that I am reviewing a Cemetery.
Hope it is nothing that any of us become a fan of anytime soon, that is for sure.
Especially when the cemetery is called Assumption… I thought we were never supposed to assume anything because, well, I guess it does not matter or apply here.
I work super close to this place and it is lovely.
There are services daily, I know this because I see it.
Which compels me to wonder how such a small place can have so many guests but whatever they are doing is really working.
It sounds strange but it is comforting to know that this resting place is there because it is always clean, highly decorated, organized, and the location is prime!
