Many if not most of the names on the headstones are of Swedish origin as the historical sign on the property points out. The cemetery is quite well laid out with a single gravel road running through it. The cemetery is nicely organized into family plots. The majority of the graves are from the early to mid-20th century, but there are a handful past the year 2000. Directly across the street sits the local community church that was rebuilt in 1981. The photos and the historical sign included in this review fill in the gaps.

As the name of this cemetery implies, its residents are almost entirely Hispanic. The majority of the graves are from the latter part of the 20th century and many are from the last 20 years. The oldest headstones that I could find dated from the 1940s. The good news is that if you're looking for your forever home, there's still room available here. Not only is this still an active cemetery, but it's quite clear that many surviving family members continue take care of the graves of their loved ones. The photos below clearly show their devotion.

I couldn't be more impressed with the job Mike did on my grill today.

I had even rented a steam cleaner myself a few months back and was barely able to remove any of it. When he was done, it looked practically brand new again.

It's very close to Highway 20 and Shiloh Road, which is just on the outskirts of Bastrop, Texas. In order to find it, you'll have to turn into a school parking lot and then very quickly veer left onto a single lane dirt road and follow it about 1000 feet until you arrive. This is still very much an active cemetery for the local residents. It sits on about 3 to 5 acres and still has additional room in case you're interested. After scanning many of the headstones, it is primarily an African-American cemetery judging by the headstones and porcelain portraits affixed to those markers. It has a single gravel road that dead ends at the back of the cemetery. There's a lot of randomness as to how the graves are arranged with lots of flowers left by loved ones. I did not spot any headstones from the 1800s, the vast majority are from the latter part of the 20th century and on. There were a few service members buried here and most of the graves have granite headstones, but some are in the cheaper cast concrete. It's a quiet place, but you can still hear the traffic on Highway 20 not far away.

Poor customer service and follow through. I scheduled a meeting with Mike and specifically went…read moreover my company's needs. We then had a small, trial order that we placed to ensure they would be able to accommodate our needs. Not only did we not receive the order, but in over three weeks I did not receive a single update on the order status! So glad I did not trust them with vital parts. To the outside observer, their operation seems disorganized and as a customer, the service is absolutely revolting. Save time and money. Go somewhere else for fabrication needs.

When an appliance breaks, I usually enter this no-man's land call "appliance limbo" which is similar to purgatory. Can it be repaired or do I buy a new one? Do i trust the repair guy or is he getting a kickback from the appliance company? Why does their "window of availability" usually mean I am waiting around for 4 hours? Why don't they have the part in their truck? How long will this take? Until last week I had met every bozo in the book usually through a Home Warranty Service or through an appliance warranty (Sears comes to mind). Bozos. I wish I had Jerry's number years ago. Warrantyless means you can actually find someone who may have a passion for fixing appliances, not just selling you a new one. Jerry seems to truly love what he does... he makes fixing appliances look easy. He shows up on time, he has a sweet demeanor, he does what he says he will do. He is NOT cheap. $228 to fix an ice maker is NOT cheap. But he did it, which is more than I can say for my friendly handyman after fiddling with it for 3 weeks. Appliances these days come with microchips and motion sensors and LOTS of complicated stuff that can go wrong... He services most brands of kitchen and laundry appliances. So stop fiddling with your own stuff and call this nice guy in my little black book to service you. If I cannot find him, I guess I will know where he is...

The small 1 acre cemetery site sits on a sloping hill with a great view of the Austin skyline. Behind the cemetery are many acres of undeveloped land at this point. What is interesting about this cemetery is that there are no headstones above ground. All the headstones lay flush to the ground for mowing purposes, and after walking the property, I counted close to about 100 headstones or more. The majority of them sit on the east side and they are predominantly from the early to late 1960s. The graves on the west side are from the 70s through the 90s. The markers from before 1970 are cast in concrete (found a couple in granite in 60's) while those after 1970 are chiseled in granite. The ages of the decedents here vary from the young to the old. This may no longer be an active graveyard since the last head stone was laid in 2002. The photos in this review tell the rest of the story.
