Our local one came in with the cheapest cremation costs. A friend recommended Casper and it was almost half the cost from what our family funeral home quoted us. That was with a discount as well! I called Casper about 2 months beforehand and they were very detailed and provided all the info that was needed. I had multiple phone calls with them and they were able to assist me even though I was in California. I mostly spoke with Jake and Colton during this process. When I arrived Saturday was the only day I could go down and we had a snowstorm the day prior. Roads were pretty bad and they were able to accommodate me even though they had a service going on. Parking can be a nightmare there, I parked a few blocks away near a barber shop. I would recommend this place to everyone!! I was truly blown away by their service and empathy.

It is definitely the prettiest, greenest, most walk worthy cemetery I've ever seen! We stopped by the visitor center where a staff recommended a particular way to walk to the Washington tower in the middle and to see Isabella Gardner's grave by Auburn lake. We appreciated the windy, cloudy day with glimpses of sun for our adventure today. Several tombstones were guarded by statues of a favorite family dog. Many were clearly family plots. We climbed up the many winding stairs of the Washington tower for a breathtaking 360 degree panoramic view of Boston and of the greenery below. We'll be back! We only spent an hour here today but could've easily stayed 2-3 just exploring. Highly recommend!

The map will guide you to monuments and memorials and notable burial sites to abolitionists like Charles Sumner and poets like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. If it's open in the warmer months, climb the Washington Monument for a view of the city. It's closed during the winter, but the hill it's on still offers unobstructed views.

I recently read about the lives of poets Sylvia Plath & Anne Sexton. Since I'm in the 02321 for a…read morehouse-sitting gig, I decided to pilgrimage to Sexton's gravesite in Forest Hills cemetery--an absolute hidden gem (the cemetery, not the gravesite). The main office staff was lovely, outfitted me with a map, and off I went to find Anne. If you are at all interested in the literary strides these lady poets made during a time of complete male dominance & as forerunners to second-wave feminism (all while managing mental illness), I've got a book for you! Visitors to the Sexton family grave left stones, an embroidered handkerchief, and even a bottle of perfume. I figured I'd find ee cummings (because I was told how tricky he was to find). He's hidden next to his wife's family grave (Clarke) with a flat marker, so I did some hunting and Googling to find it. I also saw Eben Jordan (founder of Jordan Marsh) though I did not know who he was at the time. His mausoleum commanded a lot of burial real estate.

Located on Tremont Street, along the Freedom Trail, is the Granary Burying Ground. Established in…read more1660, it is the third oldest cemetery in Boston. There are approximately 2,345 gravestones and tombs, and it is estimated that over 5,000 people are buried there. There are many noteworthy people buried at the Granary Burying Ground including Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine, who signed the Declaration of Independence; Paul Revere; John Phillips, the first mayor of Boston; the five victims of the Boston Massacre; and Benjamin Franklin's parents, whose tomb is commemorated by a 25 foot obelisk. There is also the grave of Mary Goose, a woman who was incorrectly thought to be Mother Goose of nursery rhyme fame. The Granary Burying Ground was a beautiful cemetery and we enjoyed walking around, looking at the interesting grave markers. While entrance to the cemetery is free, at one of the entrances is a man handing out sturdy booklets he made with a map of the cemetery and information on the notable burials that you return after your visit, and inside the cover of the booklet is a pocket where you can leave a donation, which I thought was ingenious -- he is providing a service (information about the cemetery) for free, there is no pressure to donate, and he probably makes a tidy little sum from donations -- I was certainly happy to leave a couple of dollars.

The gathering for the mourners was reserved at Stanetsky funeral Home between 9:45-10:30 am on October 31. The funeral must be taking place at 11am at the Baker St. Jewish Cemetery. But instead of waiting in the Funeral Home until 10:30 the service organizer gave the order to leave funeral home at 10:10! As the result of this disrespectful action to the grieving people many friends and relatives that came at the right time to the Funeral Home missed the gathering and had the problems to find our procession... I found this absolutely insulting to the mourners. I found this problem only after our funeral procession was on the middle way to the cemetery when my friends started to call me and ask where are you?. I have a question for the director of this Home and for the organizer of this funeral: Is it my job as a mourner to check the timekeeping? Why did we not stay until 10:30 as agreed and pay you with a lot of money for that? Do you have a heart and respect for the mourners??? Are you working in the right business? Why did you give the order to leave home before time for 20 minutes????? Because of this insulting action to the mourners, we came to the cemetery ahead of time.! We supposed to stay on the cemetery under very bad weather conditions and wait rabbi there about 30 min!!!!!! until he comes. Rabbi service was also sooooooo bad that all of us could not wait until he stops talking.
