    Once a little boy at his grandfather's knee, now an old man putting flowers at the grave of the grandfather who's been gone 37 years.

    This is a very well kept up Cemetery. There is a lot of green grass and a lot of roads going through it. It's really quite large. As you drive around and walk around you see a lot of newer plots and a lot of older stones dating back to the 1800's. My husband has various family members buried here so we come here every year on or near Memorial Day to leave hand picked flowers at their graves. Today I saw a tall monument marked the USS Olympia and the name John Johnson saying that he had been killed while on duty in 1895. I got curious so I Googled the ship and in reading through the information I found verification of an accident that happened on a training exercise in 1895 in which a Coxswain named John Johnson was killed. Gotta love Google. My main problem with the cemetery is that it is like a large city compared to a small town . I prefer smaller town cemeteries especially in the Midwest because they are more comfortable. Also this one has a six foot fence around it to prevent problems like vandalism and muggings whereas the Midwest cemeteries are usually open and available 24 hours. At this one they are very strict about everyone leaving by 4 p.m. Entrances are limited. My husband tells me that years ago there were various entrances and you could even drive all the way from Imperial Ave. to Market St. through the cemetery and drive from Mount Hope Cemetery straight into Greenwood without having to go back onto the main street. Another disadvantage here, the trolley goes right through the middle of the cemetery so you'll be standing there pensively remembering your relatives when all of a sudden at the trolley crossing there is a loud ding ding ding ding! and the gate comes down to prevent people from driving across the tracks as a trolley passes through. Today we put flowers on the graves of my husband's father's baby sister who passed away when she was only 2 months old in 1912. It's hard to imagine that that is now over a hundred years ago! We also visited the resting place of his maternal grandparents and an uncle and aunt. I think it's nice that he always remembers them and I think he worries that after he's gone no one will come visit the graves and put flowers on them. It is a tradition he learned from his father and has tried to pass on to his children so maybe they will continue after he's gone.

    Even let me know when the decor I'd leave for her would be removed so I wouldn't loose anything while they cut the grass.

I have over 20 relatives buried here so it hold a special place in my heart. Despite the location it is one of the safest places around. I could be here for hours. They close early around 4:30 but no one bothers you to leave if uou stay past that time. The staff is very nice and respectful of the visitors here. I love to walk around and check out other peoples graves. Some are so beautiful and others like my cousin who died at less than two years old are a sober reminder of our mortality. Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live here!

    I am extremely disappointed with this cemetery. We have visited our loved ones several times this…read moreyear, and each time we have discovered that the flower vases placed at their graves have gone missing. When we brought this issue to the attention of the front office, we were told that there are no security measures in place to prevent theft and that we would simply need to purchase a replacement vase, costing over $50, each time one disappears. Considering the significant amount families pay to have their loved ones laid to rest here, this response is unacceptable. What makes this even more concerning is that it is not an isolated incident. Nearly every vase surrounding our loved ones' graves has also been stolen. Instead of feeling peace and comfort when we visit, we are left distressed by the thought of strangers repeatedly stealing from gravesites while nothing is being done to address the problem. Families come here to visit with those they have lost. It is deeply disappointing that protecting memorial items does not seem to be a priority and gives the impression that their profit matters more than supporting grieving families and preserving the dignity of their loved ones' resting places.

    Was here Friday for a viewing. Arrived early so I could help set up. Was met by Rosie who…read moreimmediately offered to help unload the car. She made sure to set out cups and napkins and the coffee was already brewed and ready to go. She had a very friendly demeanor and had a calm presence to her which is great for instances like these. The last thing you want in moments like these is someone with a strong personality or people who don't seem like they know what they're doing. Well. Everything was great and then Rosie left ‍. There was a male employee who stayed behind and I cant tell you his name because he never introduced himself nor did he speak much. It didnt seem like he knew how to control the audio/visual as he had to call in order to figure out where the controls were. When the coffee ran out we asked if he could brew more. When I went in to the kitchen about 30 minutes later everyone was saying it was a bit weak and was coming out lukewarm so they had taken to warming it in the microwave. Well, that apparently was too much power because before we knew it the coffee pot, the microwave, and the fridge all lost power. I told the female employee (not Rosie, also unaware of her name because she showed up later and also neglected to introduce herself) we could just unplug the microwave if it was going to be a problem. She said she was going to call someone to fix the issue and brew stronger coffee. I came back in to the kitchen about 30-45 minutes later to find that now the coffee pot wasn't brewing and only water was coming out. The viewing was going to go until midnight so warm coffee for a grieving family would have been great. We ended up sending someone home for a coffeepot from home. Finally about 10:30 or so they were able to secure a second industrial size coffee pot to replace the now dysfunctional one. While the two employees seemed friendly enough, well actually the female seemed friendly, the male just came across like a deer in headlights, it would have been best to have someone experienced on staff for the night. -Rosie was great for the short time she was there. -There is only 1 unisex bathroom -The location is gorgeous albeit small -You have to go outside to get to the kitchen which is a bit cumbersome especially when it's cold out -There were heaters in the viewing room but I don't know if they were shut down early or if they also stopped working because the last hour or so, the room was incredibly cold -Limited parking

    Back in 2019, my pops- who is a paralyzed military veteran decided it was time to take care of his…read morecremation matters. Instead of having the family burdened with additional responsibilities when his time comes- it was great to see him being proactive. And honestly, a huge relief, in my opinion. Back then, and to this present day- he's been living in a facility that takes care of his daily needs. So, when I got his phone call that a representative from Featheringhill Mortuary would make the drive to him and get the paperwork started- pops requested my presence as well. So, I brought this up to my momma- (parents have been divorced for 30 years & actually have a friendship still). And she asked to be present as well, with pops approval. Had a representative not made the visit to his facility- we would have rented a mobility van, which isn't cheap to make such arrangements. The FM representative was patient and forthcoming when it came to explaining services, what to expect when payment is made, and why we would receive paperwork from a life insurance company. Since the arrangements have been accommodated for pops- momma has been interested in getting something very similar to his policy. As the years passed by, I have procrastinated in setting up the appointment for momma. We finally set one up and went to their location. I asked if they could retrieve pop's policy and we can piggyback on his arrangements. The FM rep was patient with momma, who has trouble at times understanding the English language. Her appointment took an hour. We didn't feel rushed at all. We booked our appointment first thing in the morning. Parking lot in the back, with some of the stalls looking very cramped. And off street parking on El Cajon Blvd. I'm most likely going to make my arrangements with FM very soon as well.

Paul, the mortuary director, went far above and beyond anything we expected. From the very beginning, he took on the overwhelming task of communicating with multiple concerned family members, easing confusion and helping everyone stay informed. That alone lifted a huge burden from us. What truly stood out was his willingness to meet our family where we were--both emotionally and physically. He personally visited the home of our loved one and gently guided family members through decisions that felt impossible at the time. Even when there was hesitation or uncertainty, Paul remained patient, kind, and deeply understanding. His knowledge and honesty were invaluable. He carefully explained the realities and consequences of delaying arrangements, but always did so with compassion and respect. In many ways, he became more than a mortuary director--he was like a social worker, helping our family come together, find clarity, and ultimately reach a place of peace and resolution. During one of the hardest moments of our lives, Paul brought calm, dignity, and guidance. We are truly grateful for his dedication and humanity, and we highly recommend Featheringill Mortuary to any family in need of support and care.

We would have been quite literally, lost, without her guidance.
