A review of a cemetery? Sure, why not. Grove Hill Cemetery was founded in 1854 and has the graves…read moreof more than 18,000 individuals. It is a pretty, historic and a well maintained cemetery. No plastic flowers adorn this cemetery, all bouquets must be real. There is a group of individuals that call themselves "Friends of Grove Hill". They plan work parties and hold training sessions on the restoration of some of the oldest monuments. There is a beautiful little Chapel in the midst of the oldest graves. Grove Hill Cemetery has a user friendly web site, www.grovehillcemetery.net Five stars can easily be awarded such a fine cemetery. Wait! This is a YELP review. You know a real review, by a real consumer, about a real experience! My husband and I came to Grove Hill back in 1997 in search of a location to bury our 13 year old son. It was an unexpected death caused by drowning in a flash flood. The nice representative welcomed us in his office and proceeded to describe locations available for a cluster of family graves. We knew immediately the site for us when we heard the description. "The graves will always be in the front row, slightly away from the road way because there is a partial row in front of the section but to the side of our plots. It's on the very front of the cemetery and overlooks the main roadway and train tracks." (Great for my husband and son who were/are train buffs.) NOW, HERE'S THE PROBLEM. The sales pitch we were told turned out to be totally wrong! The grave is in the same location, the internal road is still in the same location but our son's grave and our future graves are hidden behind a newer set of headstones. Grove Hill for this deceptive sales pitch you get one star. Unfortunately, to average the positive of a nice cemetery with a cemetery location that we now feel stuck with the overall rating cannot exceed two stars.

Earliest I can remember is burying a high school friend and most recently we buried my father in law here. The grounds and plots are on top of each other. Not much greenery our pretty scenery surrounds it. Being next to the expressway makes for lots of noise and debris. During my father in laws it was very hard to here the service as he is pretty close to the Snyder expressway ramp. The grounds does have a couple cool sculptures on the road way including one of a Bible verse. Overall, it is a solid spot. Not very cemetery can be high end and if I had to guess the cemetery may have been there before the expressway. I could be wrong though. Either way it's a boise factor and logistical nightmare. At my high school friends funeral there literally was a wreck and at my father I. Laws a person barreling off the exit almost wrecked into us. So it was almost 2 for 2 on accidents in funeral processions I've attended here.

The staff is very respectful and forms personal relationships with the grieving family members. They do a great job putting the services and burials together.

The funeral home always provides the grieving families with food for the receptions and flowers for the ceremony as a personal way of sending the family their condolences. Most of the funerals in my family (and among friends) have been held here, and we couldn't have asked for anything or anyone better.

We are walked passed a headstone that had fallen over onto another and never put back upright. I have been visiting this cemetery since I was a little girl and the quality of how it is being kept up over the years has severely decreased. Update- I spoke with someone that works at the cemetery and they are experiencing the same issues as everyone else basically. They need help but can't find it. I respect the honesty and the person was extremely nice and apologetic. Therefore, I changed my review to 4 stars. Great customer service and answering questions goes a long way in my book.

I have been coming tot he zoo for over 30 years and been a membership owner a majority of these years and until this last trip o had no idea this old gravesite existed at all. If you go to where the addax and bongo park exhibit is you go around the curve and and walk towards the open grass area where there is a pond and some seating. Just a few feet beyond that is this tiny grave yard that someone upkeeps (maybe the zoo since they bought all the land around it). Overall a very cool and interesting find that has me pondering all kinds of questions. Like if this is your family and you want to pay respects do you have to pay admission prices? That would be weird. However it is also kinda cool to be able to say that your grave site is hidden inside one of North America largest and most popular zoos.

After 16 years of a carefree, opulent life, my "fur baby" passed. Because this happened early on a…read moreSunday morning, I thought I would need to wait until Monday before taking her anywhere. We decided against burying her in our backyard because we didn't want any wild animals to dig her up (my heart, soul, or psyche would not have been able to survive that). We called a few places around town to get prices of pet cremation and any other associated services. The man who answered the phone was kind, understanding and soothingly efficient. His already soothing voice became much more empathetic when he found out that I had just lost my pet. He gave me their prices and explained exactly what those cost included. They have different prices based upon how you want the cremation to occur and then upon the weight of the animal. They offer 3 levels of cremation: individual, double and group. Plus, depending upon the level you choose, their prices include a framable certificate, a marvelous, decorative, wooden box for ash storage and memorial display. The individual and double cremation options offer the certificate of authenticity, which states that the ashes that you received are actually from YOUR pet and not from someone else's. In addition, at no extra charge they will ink the paws and nose to put those prints on the certificate. I was completely satisfied with the tentative services and the expected outcome. Once we took my pet to their location, one man received her while another man (Chris) took our information. Although, the man that I talked to earlier on the phone took my information and noted that I wanted the nose and paw prints, Chris did not ask about that service nor did I remember to state it. In my grief-stricken, cloudy mind, I assumed that the information from the earlier phone call would be linked to this intake information. I didn't realize that little omission would return to haunt me. A few days passed and they called to say that my pet was ready for pickup. Quite somberly, I was actually able to drive to get her (I wasn't sure I would be able to do that). A lady greeted me immediately, and ushered me to follow her to the office. There I received a nicely paw-printed recyclable paper bag with a beautiful wooden box and a certificate of authenticity inside the bag. The presentation was really nice. Imagine my hurt when I looked at the certificate and saw no nose or paw prints. When I asked about the omission, the lady told me that she would check to see what happened. After a few minutes, she returned to tell me that they were unable to get any prints from my pet. Her body language was different as she told me this information and I got the impression that she was not telling me the truth. Especially because I know the position that my dog's legs and face were in. Her paws were straight and flat and her nose was big and black. The only way that they couldn't get the ink was if they didn't know to try. While I realize and accept that this was a miscommunication, I would rather have been told the candid truth and not a "canned response" to appease a grieving person. Other than this, I was really pleased with everything else.
