A cemetery should be a place we can go to remember a loved one. Instead they make it unbearable to even appreciate it. They just mow down the plants and flowers we've planted. It's gross. Not only are they awful customer service wise but my parents bought 3 plots of land with my brother being in the middle and my mother on one side and my father on the other. Yet they put another person on one of the sides that my parents have already bought. I'll leave pic below. My point is if you have anywhere else nearby to choose from you should choose elsewhere. . This place needs a complete overhaul of people in charge.

My mother died in October 2023. Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home took care of everything. They were perfect: easy to deal with, kind, gentle, competent, flexible, and all that. They weren't even expensive. They hosted the memorial service for my mother in their facility, and it went just the way people wanted. I doubt that anyone is going to do comparison shopping of funeral homes at the time that they need one, but if you did compare, I know you'd end up with these folks.

Paying a visit to the "home" of Rocky Mountain Antique Quilts is truly like visiting behind the…read morescenes of the Americana Collection at the Smithsonian Museum, with often brilliantly colored quilts at your literal finger-tips even though most seem to be well over 100 years old and actually to 200 years and quite possibly beyond. They are not secured behind locked glass as one might expect but, instead, are directly out in the open and very touchable. Therefore, realizing this, it is no surprise that a visitor is first directed to a hand-washing station and even requested to wear gloves before handling any of the quilts. The presence of fast-food ketchup and grease and the like on even well-meaning strangers coming in the door must be presumed and guarded against -- just like "behind the scenes" at The Smithsonian. My and my wife's experience was the same on our first visit, and on just scanning the magnificence of the collected quilts, we quickly and fully understood. As to the quality and the variety of the quilts available for viewing and sale, they are simply remarkable -- as is readily seen by the quilts offered on the website. The owner "Betsey" is a fount of knowledge who "sells" with truly verifiable facts and not just "creative writing" as do so many. I can personally attest to the precise accuracy of the descriptions and representations having both been physically a "guest visitor" / shopper on-site as well as over the years having purchased at least -10- quilts, all over 100 years old and most 150 years old, and more. EVERY one of the quilts requested arrived in a condition and with qualities actually better than described. She is also immediately responsive even to general inquiry, such as when recently I really needed technical assistance cataloguing and identifying with particularity -- especially regarding pattern variations -- as well as dating the ones in my wife's antique quilts collection. In short, I both recommend "Betsey" and her Rocky Mountain Antique Quilts absolutely, without hesitation or reservation, as the quilts offered have always been truly exceptional, AND I endorse their up-front directing visitors to a hand-washing station to protect the integrity of such rarified goods for both the visitor and all those interested in the same quilt[s] that follow.

Put her shop in her antique house in old York, Maine, on your destination list! Learn about quilts in her shop. She is an appraiser of antique quilts which she will do on-line or in her shop. On the spot, Betsey can expertly explain the fabrics used, designs, colors, threads, and dyes, all the while giving you a sense of the sociology of the period of the piece and the circumstances of the quilter. She beautifully restored an 1850s quilt we have had for many years, giving it new life, and us a much better understanding of its probable history. I was so excited I brought four friends to Betsey for a morning's lecture on early American quilts that left us breathless with wonder about the designs, the variety, the loving care, the history and inherent humanity of each piece.

I give 2 stars because they are consistent in showing up weekly and when we need the snow removed. Unfortunately thats as far as it goes. Maintaining a property is important but when your equipment is too heavy and you drive too fast and have total disregard for the people's (we do pay your salary) property and gardens who live there I find them less than desirable. Owners here try very hard to make the landscape around their property beautiful throughout the growing season and I think there should be more respect and care from those using riding mowers and riding blowers. Its nearly impossible to grow grass in places surrounding the units because the equipment comes in and tears it up. Its very frustrating because that comes out of the owners pockets and not by our association fees.
