Do you know what how many people are dead in here? All of them. Well, that isn't true...there are a…read morelot of walkers at this cemetery and unless I am the kid from 6th Sense, let's hope they are alive. Sweet mother of monkey milk, am I the only living human that feels horrible reviewing a cemetery? I mean it's not like I can rate the spaciousness of the mausoleum plots, the temperature control of the grave sites or the comfort of the casket inserts. I tried polling the residents here but the room was dead I tell ya... As far as cemetery life goes, this is actually a very nice cemetery. They have some pretty awesome headstones, the landscaping is beautiful and it is a fantastic place for exercise. The hills will just about kill ya, but good news!! The hospital is almost right across the street. Short ride back once you meet your maker. Nice and quiet, well kept and easy to enter and exit. A beautiful mausoleum as well.

I'm sure that I will go back and visit and take in the rest of the cemetery.

Founded in 1839, Akron Rural Cemetery has been renamed to Glendale Cemetery. One of the "park"…read morecemeteries like Mount Auburn near Cambridge Massachusetts and Hollywood in Richmond Virginia and Pere La Chaise in Paris, this uses the hills and promontories to present a more idyllic landscape compared to the flat "lawn" cemeteries. Quiet lanes for driving through or get a good workout by parking and then taking a hike. Politicians and industrialists and regular people are laid to reset here, with perhaps the most well known being Frank Seiberling (1859 to 1955) who founded the Goodyear Tire company that is based here in Akron. Plenty to see here and of course, a peaceful spot for a walk. Please remember that this is an "active" cemetery so be respectful with noise. [Review 1347 of 2024 - 266 in Ohio - 22370 overall]

Our family has entrusted Hillcrest to care for many of our relatives since 1960. Double digit…read morenumbers of family members have buried there. We will not bury another one. Our most recent burial witnessed a member of the grounds crew desecrate the memory of our brother who was having his ashes buried on that day. This employee took a floral arrangement that had been set up on a table as we prepared for a committal service and threw it into the open cremation grave. We were mortified and when we complained to the cemetery office we were told basically "we do our best". Are these the same employees that are unloading the remains for the crematory? We are not going to take the chance.

Death is one of the few things all of us have in common. Sometimes it is a blessing in disguise ;…read moreothers times it is an end to all things beautiful. Cemetery's in particular have always interested me simply because it's the only place(s) I feel like I'm amongst my own people and with my cultural background; respecting a deceased individuals body is of the upmost importance. As a former caregiver & Veterinary Assistant; I've been exposed to death in a way most people wouldn't be and therefore; funerals were once a daily activity. With this being said, Restland is one of the best kept grounds I have ever walked. The landscaping alone is sparse but what is growing are some of the most beautiful cedars I have ever seen. The grass is cut, the road is clear & clean, there are plenty of trash bins and water fountains for fresh flowers. And lots of benches to reflect and grieve. Surrounded by woods, a church and the ugly road; it is a very peaceful & comforting place. Although the land in the very back is (sadly) being developed, for now you can enjoy the breathtaking sunset and enjoy the scent of pine trees (" loaded with compounds that have a variety of positive effects on the human body"; including lessening depression). But besides this small fact, this is the first & only cemetery that pays homage to those who have been cremated. There is a tiny garden that invites visitors to scatter their loved ones ashes over a bed of ivy- I LOVE this idea! It is such a simple yet sweet gesture and I applaud whomever came up with the idea. There is also a large cannon and monument honoring our fallen men & women, a little pond stands behind it as well as lovely flowerbeds. This is also the first cemetery I have visited with a useful directory at the main entrance. Most cemetery's only offer a plot number and you're left wandering around (sometimes for hours) in search of a grave. There booklet clearly shows each section & lists which headstones are in each. Again, someone put a lot of thought and care into this place and I don't doubt that if you choose to rest here that you would find peace.
