East Ridgelawn Cemetery — Attraction in Clifton

It's been five years since we laid my maternal grandmother Esther Tolentino to rest. I'm only in my mid 30s but in my short time on this earth thus far I have given my last respects and final goodbyes to many family, friends and even former co-workers who have passed on. East Ridgelawn Cemetery is where many of my most beloved departed are buried. The staff and groundskeepers here are very polite, compassionate and willing to help in any burial plot landscaping suggestions or concerns you may have regarding your loved one's grave site. Just two days ago my brother and I noticed that the ground around our grandmother's grave needed some elevating. Dorothy the manager there was very helpful and assured us that she will inform the maintenance men. I kid you not, .. the very next day I received a phone call from Dorothy explaining to me that the job was done and all was taken care of just as she promised. This cemetery will be a lifelong place for me to visit my family and friends who have departed and I am satisfied on how it's well kept and safe from any vandalism being that they close the gates at 5:30 pm. East Ridelawn Cemetery offers peace of mind to all my family who live out...

My mother has been buried in this cemetery for about Ten years now . I have seen on the Google reviews that other people have had some of the same issues that Ive had, so at least I know that my issues are not isolated incidents, (which doesn't make it right) but if you want to put anything across your loved ones grave like a candle or a flag, the people working there are going to throw it away, run it over with the grass cutter or whatever they feel they need to do to get it out of there. There were also issues with my mothers plaque though it did come out better than I expected it took very long and it was a very unnecessary drawn out process. I have also been locked in the cemetery because I tried to drive out at 5:31 instead of 5:30 not realizing the time and I was threatened to be arrested if I try to open the gate. Also, they have an answering service that answers for them in the mornings, they open at 8 AM and I called at 7 AM to ask a question and before I can even ask anything she Rudely proceeds to cut me off and say she's “ just the answering service and doesn't know ANYTHING.” In a very NASTY tone. Not a very smart thing to do to someone who is grieving...

Me and my family though this was a good place to bury my mother here but after a couple months a wooden cross that we put was stolen or taken away and we replaced it with another one but it was taken away again. And now a small wooden fence that we had and other people's small fences were gone,and a cross that we on the ground was ripped off the ground. When me and family came here we did not think that a cemetery would do that to our love one. If you want the decorations that you put for your loved one that you lost to be thrown away in the trash,taken away,or stolen DO NOT bury your loved one here! I checked their website to see if they have any rules or regulations for putting decorations on the grave of your love one and there was no rules or regulations. On a tree they put a photo saying you cannot have these thing if you saw the photo there was no list telling you what you can't have there was only a blurry photo. Please go to another cemetery and don't have the same...
