We are walked passed a headstone that had fallen over onto another and never put back upright. I have been visiting this cemetery since I was a little girl and the quality of how it is being kept up over the years has severely decreased. Update- I spoke with someone that works at the cemetery and they are experiencing the same issues as everyone else basically. They need help but can't find it. I respect the honesty and the person was extremely nice and apologetic. Therefore, I changed my review to 4 stars. Great customer service and answering questions goes a long way in my book.

We have visited Eastern Cemetery a few times in order to participate in volunteer work to help mow…read more This volunteer activity is overseen by the Friends of Eastern Cemetery group, which we connected with via FB. We had initially learned about this group after seeing the documentary Facing East (2019), which details the very sad state of affairs at this cemetery. We were touched by the amount of committed volunteers who show up here and stories of what brought them to this place. We were also inspired due to the large amount of neglected veterans graves and felt this would be a way to honor those who served. From the spring season through autumn, volunteers typically descend on the property on most Sundays 10 AM to 1 PM to mow, weed eat, pick up brush and debris, trim trees, and clean headstones. Further info and signups are the most easily accessible via FB group.

It is important to note that there are two cemeteries here that abut each other. The second is the…read moreCave Hill Cemetery, but this is very definitely the Eastern Cemetery. The grounds for Eastern Cemetery was purchased by two Methodist Episcopal churches and used for burials as early as 1844. The facility hosted Louisville's first crematoriums. Unfortunately, in 1989, a whistleblower called attention to the fact that some graves purchased by families had been reused. As such, the cemetery has fallen into repair. Maintenance of the facility is currently provided by veterans and volunteer groups. Even with that, the cemetery is worth a visit. Much of the grass needs trimming, the concrete paths need a repaving and some of the brush needs cutting back. But definitely stop by. [Review 13490 overall, 809 of 2020.] [YELP! Please don't merge this with the Cave Hill Cemetery as they are completely SEPARATE!]

It's the largest by area and number of burials. Before the era of large municipal parks, it was common for cities to promote a garden cemetery as a green oasis and recreation destination, and Louisville was no exception. Located in the northwest corner is Cave Hill National Cemetery, containing military graves. It was also on the National Register, added in 1998, where we discovered the grave of my partner's great-great-great-grandfather, Joshua Leonard. He was a Union soldier from New York who fought in the Civil War. Notable interred here were Colonel Harland Sanders (founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken) and Muhammad Ali (American professional boxer, activist, and Louisville's native son), to name a few. Upon arrival, we went straight to the main office located in the middle of the cemetery. Friendly staff managed to look up the information of the family member. However, the maps given were confusing and didn't correspond with those at the national cemetery. Stopped a staff member in their vehicle who recommended us to go to the main gate for assistance. With the help of the guard, we managed to locate his grave. Nice hidden gem for those visiting Louisville off the beaten path, which we can recommend.

We had no idea what to expect as were drove in the parking lot and saw a short line off cars going past the front of the building with the family all standing outside. As we approached the family greeted us, all wearing masks and social distancing. They opened two large glass doors for us to get a clear view of the open casket. We exchanged words with the family and then drove off. It was clearly one of the most unusual services we've ever attended and certainly not like any previous ones we've attended.
