Oakwood Cemetery is an amazing location full of scenic beauty, incredible history (and multitudes…read moreof historic figures), unique memorials and architecture, and a lovely place to rest in peace. I have a family plot here and visit often. Many folks come just to walk the miles of roads and trails in the peace and scenic nature here. With over 60,000 graves from the early 1800's thru today spread out over 325 wooded and hilly acres, makes it very difficult to maintain. Grounds crews do what they can with limited budgets and personnel to keep the grass and weeds cut and trimmed but all except the front lawns sometimes get a bit overgrown before the grounds crews cycle back thru all the sections. The front lawns near the main entrance on Oakwood Ave are always kept looking good. Many memorials that were placed on the 1800's and early 1900's without adequate foundations are often leaning and toppled but the caretakers have been making a valiant effort at restoring and repairing as many of these old memorials as they can. I often volunteer here with locating and photographing memorials for Find-a-Grave and the office staff is very helpful in assisting in locating specific graves even though all records are manual with very little digitized. The manual system they use is ancient but it works for them. I do wish it was fully digital and searchable though. If you come to enjoy this place for whatever reason, please respect the people buried here and the families that may be visiting their lost loved ones. Maintaining an air of peace and quiet and reverence is what keeps this beautiful location special.

We were here to visit the final resting place of "Uncle" Sam Wilson, the famous Uncle Sam thanks to…read morea link from Atlas Obscura, https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/grave-of-uncle-sam. According to the story, Sam Wilson joined the American Revolution as a teenager just as the war was ending. He landed in New York and made a living as a meat packer. He supplied troops with meat and the barrels were stamped "US" and the legend grew from there. Iconic during World War I and World War II, even though Sam had died well before in 1854. Still, he's officially the official Uncle Sam thanks to a Congressional resolution in 1961. It's a beautiful cemetery with clear paved paths. Pretty, restful and really nice. They have many signs that point the way to Uncle Sam. You can pretty much drive most of the way. [Review 11507 overall, 1287 of 2019.]

Cannon funeral homes professionally helped me through the worst time of my life…read more They were considerate, professional, and never pushy about the logistical details and requirements of the service. They worked with our family to ensure that my wife was honored and that her service, along with most of the logistical stuff you would not want to spend your time doing, were handled. During the planning, they explained our options, politely explained deadlines for certain items and requirements, and was considerate of our time and spontaneous requests. Some of the things that were done included assisting us with the writing of her obituary, adding details to their web site, creating a central site which served as a place to offer tribute, condolences, view slide shows, and obtain relevant logistical details like locations and times of the services. All things we were able to leave to the site and not be overly concerned with during the process. The service was well planned, the preparations down to every detail and specification were undertaken with the utmost care, and even when we asked to have a stop added to the procession, for her, they did so without complaint. It is my sincere hope that you rarely need this review and even more rarely that you would need Cannon's services, but when you are in need, I recommend them.
