Ponds and vets…read more The Pine Grove Cemetery was established in the 1890's and is 50 acres of gentle and mostly level ground with fairly modest memorials. It has a few larger crypts and more elaborate gravestones but most tend to be small and simple. The cemetery has a small pond in the middle of the land and lots of very old looking trees. Many veterans, especially from World War 1, are buried here and the grounds are very well maintained. There are roads that wind through all parts of the cemetery and many flowers and special personal items are included with the memorials. A very pleasant cemetery to talk an easy walk through.

Its got a fair amount of history to it as well and it's home to many veterans from both world wars. The world war veteran graves are taken care of by the workers and every national holiday that celebrates their memory will see their graves receive a token of appreciation and respect ranging from a bouquet of flowers or some other symbol. I currently have my aunt, uncle, and grandparents buried there so when I pay the area a visit I see what goes on around there. If you are the type of person like myself that likes to take walks through cemeteries then you will be happy to know that this is the place to do it. It's peaceful and quiet (not all cemeteries are surprisingly!). There is a greenhouse / flower shop right nearby that is an ideal location for a visit if you're interested in buying something.

Graves of those who served in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, both World Wars, the Civil War, all have a peaceful resting place. It's a beautiful, reverent place. It's the final resting place of Falmouth-born poet Katherine Lee Bates who penned "America the Beautiful." A beautiful cemetery indeed. Fitting.

Songs and angels…read more The Oak Grove Cemetery was founded in 1849 but has graves that have been relocated from other, smaller graveyards that are much older. Lots of Revolutionary and War of 1812 veterans are buried here as well as many affluent Falmouth residents. In total there are probably over 3,000 residents including Katharine Lee Bates who wrote the famous America the Beautiful. The cemetery was enlarged many times through the years and is now over 22 acres. Most of the memorials are simple with few obelisks or huge and massive gravestones. Some are old and worn while others are fresh and new. Some unique and creative memorials including lighthouses, little fairies and probably the sexy angel I have ever seen. A very cool old graveyard that offers a variety of different memorials and gravestones in a very bucolic and peaceful setting.

I always come in with my flowers to the funeral home and I always make a meal for the family for after the week they are very accommodating about putting it in the refrigerator if it's a cool meal or on the in the kitchen if it's hot meal and making sure the family I was accommodated when it's over. This time they had chocolates in the entryway where people sat and relaxed and talked with other family members etc. like a calling type room they had boxes of chocolates which are apparently the deceased favorite. I thought that was extremely thoughtful thing to do.

If you want your loved ones taken care of after they pass away then stay away from this funeral…read morehome! My MIL passed away on a Sunday. We met with Bill from the Kingston location Monday morning. We went over all the costs and details. For a one day 4 hour wake and a meet at the cemetery funeral it was over $9000 without including casket, vault, or anything like that. When we were there Monday morning Bill said my MIL was already embalmed. We had the services on Saturday so 6 days from the date she passed. On the morning of the wake Bill calls me and tells me that my MIL does not look good and she has significant blisters on her face and we should do a closed casket (not my MIL wishes)! Now an embalmed body properly done should not show signs of blistering by day 6. Bill stated he would talk to the owner about getting the embalming fee reimbursed. So the following Tuesday I sent an email to the owners and never got a response. I waited a week and contacted Bill. He stated that the office would give me a call. 5 more days go by with no call. Finally I threaten them with contacting the state and after 2 more phone calls to the answering service someone calls me back and states a refund will be going out in the mail. A whole $690 back from over $9000 given to them for this egregious mishap. $90 of that was because we paid for a hair stylist to come in and do her hair. Also the day of the wake the doorman kept asking the 18-22 year old females "what's the password" before he would open the door for them. Like way to be creepy! Needless to say, we got some money back for their mistake but it doesn't negate the fact that family feels like they never had a real chance to say goodbye. Also never a response from ownership of the funeral home or an apology in any way! I would stay far away from this place!

Every step of the way I was kept well informed and we were able to have the most wonderful services for her, just as she wanted and just as we wanted.

If you have never gone through a loss and the stresses of losing someone they go above and beyond explaining things and walking us through the whole process. Thank you Shepherd Funeral Home
