Absolutely beautiful grounds throughout this older cemetery. Very well grommed and taken care off. Lots of markers to read where you are... easy to navigate. Loved all the American flags on display for veterans on Memorial Day. What a sight to behold. Saw a few dear in the cemetery as well, love to see nature. read more

See all

Once again grounds are overgrown and not trimmed around headstones. Went on fathers day ( yesterday) and it was a disgrace. Please don't use the excuse of " there's so much acreage to take care of" . Not buying that lame excuse anymore. It's supposed be perpetual care. You have definitely failed again. Not sure I want to be laid to rest there anymore. Definitely disappointed that my family is buried there. Get it together Holy Sepulchre,get it together read more

Truly heartbroken that they continue to remove my Mom's and Dads flowers from their site. Last year there was no problem with the flowers or solar lights placed next to their stones. All of a sudden this is a problem. My siblings and I visit regularly and clean their stones..why can't they have the artificial flowers left for them? We just lost our Mama 2 years ago and still grieving so removing the little things placed for them hurts!! read more

My parents are buried side by side at Holy Sepulchre. My sister and I have added flowers and round, flat stones with personalized messages to the site in the past 4 years without incidence. The stones were tasteful and unobtrusive. One stone declared my father's remorse and devotion to Mom. Another was an actual passage from a reading at Mom's funeral. This summer all of the stones were removed without notice (I know they have our contact information based on the many mail requests for donations over the years). They were apparently deposited at the office in a location where people could 'shop' and were repurposed. Our belief was that once the cemetery received our payment for burial services and internment their future obligations only required that they cut the grass. Apparently, the money also entitled them to run a flea market with items from my parent's grave site. read more

THEY SUCK!! They let all my grandmother's siblings that dead as babies headstones be either stolen or destroyed. I should have taken the broken piece home with me because the next time they were gone. They don't care about people. All they care about is the almighty dollar. They will do anything to get your money. They are jerks or rather think they are God himself. They told me when I bought our big family plot that the only limits were that it had to be granite, without paint, & that the stone couldn't be taller than the St. Francis statue that was already there. They said anything else was fine. Now after burying my uncle & dad, Mom & us kids decided we should put a bench there so Mom can sit. Now we have to bring a chair for her or else she has to stay in the car. Either way makes her visits shorter than she would like. But now they say no benches allowed in that section. I'm thinking of trying to move my people to another cemetery & reselling the plot there @ HS read more

Louise Brooks, goddess of silent cinema, rests here. So does an odd fellow who was suspected of being Jack the Ripper. Useful kiosk in the building near the entrance that helps you find "your loved one" while speaking to you with its odd voice. read more

My grandfather in interred here, and I've always appreciated that he was buried here at this cemetery. The grounds are well kept and look pristine. Family members and staff really seem to care. Not only is it nice to visit his grave on occasion, I also find this a very nice place for walking. There is basically a large loop around the perimeter of the cemetery, as well as many tree-lined "avenues" throughout the central area. It is perfect for walking on a sunny day in the shade. The entire cemetery is surrounded with a fence, which makes walking her also quite safe. And it's much more peaceful than walking down Lake Avenue. The dead don't whistle at you from the window of their truck. It may seem morbid to hang out in a cemetery. But we do this without a second thought at Mt. Hope. I think we just need to remember to respect the dead and their resting place. read more

Ok so I know it's weird but I love walking here. Yesterday I was able to spend 2 hours walking the many paths and trails of this cemetery. It's flat, laid out like a grid, scenic, and has beautiful monuments, headstones, and statues to see. I know it must seem macabre to enjoy walking here so much (like Mt. Hope Cemetery) but it's very relaxing, peaceful, stress - free, and I enjoy it. It's very well cared for and taken care of so I would think it would make a great final resting place for those interested. read more

Holy Sepulchre is a Great place to visit.. Kept up very well ,well Professional work.Thank You all... Dave

I have not had the misfortune to have to call on the interment services of Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, but as a historical researcher and genealogist I am very impressed. The upkeep and general maintenance of the grounds and graves is excellent, staff are polite and helpful and access to burial information is made very easy. When the office is closed, computer database terminals in the lobby provide interment information and printouts, including maps giving directions to the exact location of the grave. I have researched over 200 cemeteries in the Western NY region and of those which actually have some kind of organized administration behind them, Holy Sepulchre is by far the most professional. read more

Today being Fathers Day, my family went to visit the gravesite of our Dad who is in the new military section facing Lake Ave with the beautiful monument paying respects to all our armed forces. Needless to say after seven years of a maintained area, it is a disgrace!! The grass and crabgrass is so bad that we couldn't plant a flower!!! The ground is full of long grass and roots in ground that it made it Impossible. There was a few more people there also complaining of the same. I Do think that the men and women who fought for this country with their lives deserve much better! Holy Seplechure shame on you! read more
