I don't know if the organist was part of the funeral home or hired by the family, but either way he was excellent. A great service and a great facility. Thank you, Ellington.

She was warm, caring, knowledgeable and made a very difficult time much easier. We would recommend Carothers without a moments hesitation.

Elmwood is a well-maintained cemetery. Seems like it's burial site for some well-to do Charlotteans. I saw so many names I'm familiar with. Including "Dunhill", which is the historic hotel I used to work for Uptown. Elmwood offered me it's own history lesson while also humbling me. It made me feel so grateful to be alive and able to admire this place from the land of the living, with all respect. If you ever need to get some mental or emotional clarity, take a walk in a cemetery. This was enjoyable.

The girls were quite talented, with Daisy playing the violin while Daisy played the saxophone. Taken advantage of by family, they were finally emancipated in 1931 though nearly bankrupt before their tour manager abandoned them here in Charlotte in 1961. They died suddenly in 1969. The rest of the cemetery is in excellent condition and well kept, though a classic cemetery with lots of open space and trees around the perimeter. Grave stones are all in impeccable shape. Roads are walkable or driveable. In some cemeteries, I see people walking and exercising. That did not seem to be the case here. [Review 15377 overall, 879 of 2021, number 2929 in North Carolina.]
