went to visit my moms grave on her death anniversary and we have several other family members out on our plot . I was so angry about the maintenance of the grounds. I was heart broken. I call and leave messages but nothing. please answer the phone. I'll do my own yard work if you won't. it's disrespectful. read more

This is a nice cemetery. However, they don't do any services whatsoever. You have to have all of your funeral arrangements made, and your destinations picked for this place and coordinated through your funeral home in order to use pecan Grove. They are very difficult to get a hold of, and are unresponsive to voicemail. The facility is beautiful. However, it's just not where you want to start with your process. read more

This is a cemetery typical of any small town in Texas. What, McKinney, a small town you say. Yes, as few as 20 years ago this city was still a sleepy county seat north of Dallas. The explosive growth and change we know in this area today, couldn't have been imagined that long ago. I have been to this cemetery a handful of times over the years. One was to let my daughter practice driving one more time, before we went down the street to the DPS for her driving test! Worked out great, she passed! In all seriousness, Sunday was a fabulous day and we roamed around exploring the entire place. We even tried transferring dates, names, and designs on paper with charcoal and sheets of copper with wooden implements, to various degrees of success. After about an hour I pulled folding chairs from the trunk and we sat by old graves and watched the world go by. Pretty cool. I recommend paying a visit and imagining what "the old days" were like around here. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review about this cemetery. It's been a while since I've been here, but I'd learned about this place thru Yelp when I was looking for the place to go ghost hunt. This cemetery is all Black cemetery from way back. It's very big and I like the ambiance/atmosphere. I only come here during winter/spring when the weather is cooler. During the summer, there are too much high grass/weeds/bugs and other unforeseen critters/animals. I used to come here very late at night to conduct EVP sessions/seances. I also have been there during the day and there were a lot of activities there. I just want to say that be very careful as I've experienced many spirits here where it was very clear they didn't want me here and wanted me to get out. I complied and departed the premises, but I had rocks thrown at my car and also, I truly believe that some spirit/s followed me home as well. For your safety, I highly recommend to go there with group of people at night as it's off the beaten path and it's pitch dark at night. Happy ghost hunting! read more

As far as an old cemetery with a lot of interesting fact it's great BUT we we're just there yesterday to give my grandma and great grandma flowers who both are buried here. The grass is sooo high, seems no maintenance is ever done here. It was sad! I had to scrub my relatives stones clean after walking through knee high grass. Two other family members graves are almost completely covered by a little tree that was probably at one time some kind weed. I plan on going back and cleaning up their area a lot better. Keep this beautiful cemetery beautiful. Right now it's not! read more

Ross Cemetery is what they call a "colored" cemetery. If you try to find it on the map you will go down Old Mill Road and make a left after the second bend. Unfortunately, Old Mill Road no longer matches the maps. The only way to find this cemetery is to drive the perimeter of Pecan Grove Memorial Park. We found a place where the iron fence had been removed. A grown over dirt road leads back into the woods. Yes, it's dark and scary. But you find the grown over Ross Cemetery. If I were ever going to believe a place was haunted, this would be it. It's super creepy. You get a weird vibe there. We were there right at sundown. Orange light was filtering through the threes surrounding the cemetery. I've read some creepy things about going's here. Ghost hunters said some of their group refuse to go in. And they've picked up EVP's of voices telling them to get out. Pecan Grove, on the other hand, is lovely and peaceful. There's some really pretty markers and several historic resting places, Throckmorton, Newsom, and more. Also, downtown McKinney has some other haunted locations. Great haunt for Halloween. read more

Very interesting cemetery. Very large and cool place to take pictures.

I just visited Ross Cemetery last afternoon and early evening by myself because of all the supposed "creepiness" this place has. I felt no scary or creepy feeling whatsoever. Walked almost the entire cemetery and back corners. Never heard any sounds except passing traffic on Hwy 5 in the distance, and the occasional wind gust through the trees. Sunset through the trees was beautiful. I thought it was very soul cleansing. I used to be in a paranormal ghost hunting group. This cemetery did not scare me at all, and I have been to some creepy ones for sure. Now granted, I have not been at night, and things could change. But I am perfectly comfortable and content here during the daytime, so I think a lot of this may be urban legend. It was cool seeing many of the old hand carved headstones. read more

just got back from Ross Cemetery at 7:00 pm. Never going back unless someone else wants to join. the place is haunted.

My fellow ghoster and I went to Ross (& not the dress store!) in daylight, like 3:30 in the afternoon, lots of traffic.........and before we even entered, I received a blast of COLD air on my throat. In case you might think we confused it with the weather, it was at least 98+ and we were standing in front of two cars that were cooling off, i.e., no chance for a breeze- especially that cool from anywhere where we were! She left after a few minutes, had to go home and I said I was cool, go ahead. I wish I had not said that! The cemetery was creepy. I kept looking over my shoulder and of course seeing nothing. Outside of sinking in mulch in what I thought was a covered road, it wasn't too bad.........Except trying to get a pic of one grave monument, spire in shape, but regardless of which direction I tried to approach it, I got a very scary feeling and could not get any closer than 50-60 ft. I captured no orbs nor anything else in my daytime pictures, but that is okay with me, because I WILL NOT RETURN THERE IN THE DARK ..........UNLESS - YOU want to go with me!! read more
