Connie and Diane…read more Precious Blood Cemetery is an imposing and massive cemetery. Located right on the Blackstone River, it has rolling hills and acres and acres of graves. Some of the graves are simple wooden crosses with hand written names and dates while others are huge and ponderous memorials that look like they would be at home in ancient Greece. Very impressive if somewhat pretentious. The cemetery stopped taking new arrivals in 1955 and that is the infamous year that the twin hurricanes, Connie and Diane, paid a visit. Between them the two hurricanes dropped almost 28 inches of rain in some places and caused historical flooding in many parts of New England. The Blackstone River couldn't contain the sudden onslaught of water and poured over it's banks. Right into the cemetery. Whole parts of the graveyard were washed away and caskets were said to be seen floating right down Main Street. Some of the caskets were never found and probably floated out to sea while others were broken open and the bodies tossed about. Attempts were made to replace the graves and put the right bodies in the right caskets but there wasn't time to be absolutely certain and some bodies undoubtedly ended up in the wrong caskets under the wrong gravestones. So it's said that on foggy, cold or moon lit nights an ethereal presence comes over the graveyard and the spirits walk around looking for their proper resting places. Many people have claimed to have seen and heard all kinds of spooky and supernal apparitions. I've never seen anything really unusual here but then ghosts don't like me. Precious Blood is a cool place to walk around and look at all the imposing and huge memorials. If you're lucky you might even see something that really shouldn't be there.

This is the Kubaska Funeral Home. My family has had 8 family members buried from this establishment and each was extremely well done. Our satisfaction has been 100%. David Kubaska is a perfectionist whose technical proficiency is second only to his empathy for survivors. Preneed arrangements are offered and highly suggested from personal experience. No detail is too small for Kubaska's to tend to. Recently a relative's casket was custom made thanks to the intervention from Kubaska's.

Not really high hills but enough so when you are walking around St Paul's you get a new view as you crest every hill or mound. St Paul's isn't an exceptionally old cemetery, the oldest graves I saw were from the early 1800s and many were much newer. In fact a whole section of the cemetery has exclusively recent arrivals. There is a very wide assortment of memorials and monuments, ranging from huge Celtic crosses and massive crypts to much more modest stones. Some wonderful old and spooky trees are scattered around that give the graveyard a pleasantly appropriate morbid appearance.

John, Roberta and the entire staff were attentive, thorough and responsive. My mother's funeral occurred in 3 states which is not simple, and John had to coordinate with another funeral home. The administrator of the funeral home in Maine that we worked with went out of their way to tell me that John had been a pleasure to work with which was unexpected, but not surprising. The facility in Cumberland is beautiful with a unique image projection system and piano on site for use in the service, and John has resources for everything we needed. We are very grateful.
