The place was very clean and bright which was definitely a plus if you have to be at a funeral home. The rooms were extremely large and there was plenty of seating as well as area to view the coffin and pay respects to the family.

While I always hope that I will not have to return here too soon I recommend this home for the services they offer.

I walked in slowly not knowing what to expect because who visits a cemetery unless you're visiting the deceased. Well unbeknownst to me this cemetery was also a beautiful garden. I was shocked how well maintained it was kept and how quiet and peaceful the area was as you walked around. I was also surpised to see people just sitting with their dogs or just relaxing on benches. The headstones of some unknown people to me were scattered throughout the cemetery. They did have a pamphlet for you to check it out about the facility. Definitely a cool place to check out when its open.

People are welcome to bring their (leashed) dogs, to feel the all-too-rare grass under their feet. The cemetery was started before germ theory took hold in this country, so all the burial vaults are lined with marble--hence the name. Because most headstones are flush with the ground, there is a peaceful, pastoral feeling. I was last there on an open day, and I saw a few people bring in their dogs; some dogs in the city have never felt grass beneath their feet! Truly great to see the reaction!

I do not know about the manners of management but this place is well run, grounds and even outside between the fence and the curb it is well kept. About 20 years ago there must have been a policy change because I started seeing artificial flowers and personalization of some stones by Hispanic families. It was no longer a solemn place. At first I was upset about that but my girlfriend explained to me that it was simply cultural and from then I accepted that different people mourn their buried ones differently. During the pandemic people are discovered it and saw it as a place for recreation rushing about yelping on their cell phones, which thankfully stopped. As my family has been put to rest in my old country on all saints day I used to visit a plot that had an old marker a log in carved stone that just said MOTHER. That is no longer there.

Side note, I am pretty sure it's free for solo people, but if you go with a large enough group, they have a $5 fee per person, which is reasonable. In general, I would recommend coming here in the fall, not just because the weather will be nicer, but also because the trees are beautiful, and winter is nice as well, due to the frozen lake, among other things. The spring is nice as well, but there are better places to see leaves in bloom, as there are more wintery shrubs here. The area is massive, and you could honestly spend many hours going to various corners. There are highlights such as a well-known view of the Statue of Liberty, many sculptures, and graves for people ranging from Samuel Morse to Boss Tweed to Leonard Bernstein to Louis Comfort Tiffany to Henry Chadwick, among others, along with many people from various wars, of course, such as the civil war with one particularly interesting grave having a confederate and union soldier next to each other for reasons. The place is particularly well-maintained compared to other cemeteries I have been to, with the entrance being striking among other things.
