The cemetery grounds is best described as a subtle / picturesque landscape that's accompanied solely by the sound of an occasional season's breeze. A warm yet humbling subtlety is found when walking the grounds of Kensico. With each step taken, each individual will find that the tranquility observed on these grounds are ones that define a true last resting place for souls departed. There are few additional comments I will make regarding my experience other than the following... - The landscape and backdrop of the grounds allows for souls laid to rest to be at peace. - Although hilly, the grounds can be walked without much difficulty - The backdrop and angulations of each hill allows for rested souls to observe the natural beauty of the grounds (for both sunny and rainy days). - The employees of the facility are aware of their presence in the funeral proceedings but are kind enough not to make their presence felt by respecting the cultural beliefs of attendants.
