[MY REVIEW IS FOR THE EVERGREEN CEMETERY IN NEW HAVEN VERMONT BUT YELP BEING YELP MERGED IT WITH…read moreTHE EVERGREEN CEMETERY IN NEW HAVEN CONNECTICUT.] Evergreen is a normal lawn-type cemetery. Lanes through it are walkable or driveable. There are rows of neat headstones. The grass is well trimmed. But there's one particularly interesting plot: Timothy Clark Smith. Mister Clark designed and rigged his own tomb in an attempt to prevent his nightmare of an undesirable outcome. He installed a set of stairs underneath a large square capstone beside his burial mound, and is said to have been buried with a bell in his hand and a breathing tube. The most noticeable piece is the horizontal window he installed, six feet above and centered on his face. However, he was buried in 1893 and you can only see a few inches into the six-foot-long tomb as the glass has aged and there is quite a lot of moisture. There are no accounts that his burial was anything other than normal. The cemetery is open 24 hours. Mister Clark's grave is noticeable for the mound around it and the square concrete above it. If it's rained recently, watch your step on the incline. [Review 18492 overall - 91 in Vermont - 2014 of 2022.]

The oldest of the…read moreold Cypress Cemetery is old, really, really old but nobody really knows exactly how old it is. When Lion Gardiner founded Old Saybrook back in 1635 it is recorded that he also laid out some land for a graveyard. Cypress Cemetery is very likely the place that ol' Lion started burying the dead. There are some very old gravestones in the cemetery but of course being right on the water and with the harsh winters, most of the oldest stones are now just nubs or impossible to read. I did see some from the early 1700s and other unreadable stones were without question much older. Most of the old gravestones were simple and very few really grandiose and elaborate ones are in this cemetery. Definitely some unique ones but overall quite modest. One of the fascinating things about this ancient graveyard is that it is still in use today, making it one of the very oldest cemeteries in continuous use in the country. Lion Gardiner started this graveyard many centuries ago and it is amazing that it still serves as a finally resting for the departed even today.

I stop by when I'm on Forest Road, but hadn't been there in a while. I stopped to visit a week or so ago and knew where the marker was, but couldn't find it, as it had been completely grown over. I messaged the cemetery office through their website, and figured it would be placed on some list and dealt with in the distant future. Imagine my surprise when I got a phone call THE FOLLOWING DAY from the cemetery that it had been resolved. The marker had been located, reset and the grass cut back. I did not expect this prompt attention, and am grateful for it.

After several attempts to locate burial plots and name marker stones of my beloved Grandfather, Ralph D'agostino ("Ralphie!") and ("My Little Grammies!"), Antoinette D'Agostino, I felt it was a lost cause and was saddened and upset that I may never find them. When I let Linda O'Neill and Scott Verespie know my dilemma, they not only found exactly where my Grandparents are; they had their cemetery burial ground custodians remove turf to expose the burial plots and name marker stones of my Grandparents! For going above and beyond the call of duty and providing helpful and compassionate customer service to my family; I want to thank the Manager, Scott Verespie, his Administrative Assistant, Linda O'Neill, the Catholic Cemeteries Association and the Archdiocese of Hartford for everything!

I went to Green Kettle down the street for a Yelp Elite Experience; decided to explore the town and saw that this old cemetery was created in circa 1683. That is super awesome and historic. The people that built this cemetery were alive in the 1600s! There are newer plots too. For an old cemetery, it's nicely maintained. I loved seeing all the older plaques from the 1600s to 1800s. I always imagine what life was like back then and seeing gravestones from that era transports me back just a little. If you like serene walks and history, I highly recommend a visit and pay respect to those who walked this earth before us.
