    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!]

    After 16 years of a carefree, opulent life, my "fur baby" passed. Because this happened early on a…read moreSunday morning, I thought I would need to wait until Monday before taking her anywhere. We decided against burying her in our backyard because we didn't want any wild animals to dig her up (my heart, soul, or psyche would not have been able to survive that). We called a few places around town to get prices of pet cremation and any other associated services. The man who answered the phone was kind, understanding and soothingly efficient. His already soothing voice became much more empathetic when he found out that I had just lost my pet. He gave me their prices and explained exactly what those cost included. They have different prices based upon how you want the cremation to occur and then upon the weight of the animal. They offer 3 levels of cremation: individual, double and group. Plus, depending upon the level you choose, their prices include a framable certificate, a marvelous, decorative, wooden box for ash storage and memorial display. The individual and double cremation options offer the certificate of authenticity, which states that the ashes that you received are actually from YOUR pet and not from someone else's. In addition, at no extra charge they will ink the paws and nose to put those prints on the certificate. I was completely satisfied with the tentative services and the expected outcome. Once we took my pet to their location, one man received her while another man (Chris) took our information. Although, the man that I talked to earlier on the phone took my information and noted that I wanted the nose and paw prints, Chris did not ask about that service nor did I remember to state it. In my grief-stricken, cloudy mind, I assumed that the information from the earlier phone call would be linked to this intake information. I didn't realize that little omission would return to haunt me. A few days passed and they called to say that my pet was ready for pickup. Quite somberly, I was actually able to drive to get her (I wasn't sure I would be able to do that). A lady greeted me immediately, and ushered me to follow her to the office. There I received a nicely paw-printed recyclable paper bag with a beautiful wooden box and a certificate of authenticity inside the bag. The presentation was really nice. Imagine my hurt when I looked at the certificate and saw no nose or paw prints. When I asked about the omission, the lady told me that she would check to see what happened. After a few minutes, she returned to tell me that they were unable to get any prints from my pet. Her body language was different as she told me this information and I got the impression that she was not telling me the truth. Especially because I know the position that my dog's legs and face were in. Her paws were straight and flat and her nose was big and black. The only way that they couldn't get the ink was if they didn't know to try. While I realize and accept that this was a miscommunication, I would rather have been told the candid truth and not a "canned response" to appease a grieving person. Other than this, I was really pleased with everything else.

    Thank you to all of the staff for funeral and visitation services. I highly recomend Highland…read moreFuneral Home. Chris and others did an amazing job working with my family.
