St Luke Cemetery — Attraction in Jefferson Township

This WAS once a nice beautiful cemetery 40-60 years ago. No longer a beautiful place and totally mismanaged. The entire cemetery is run down dump with lawn not cut, weeds everywhere, huge pot holes all throughout there roads. Many, many grave stone tilted due to sunken Graves and the entire grounds a real mess.

Looking throught the fence at the cemetery located next door their grounds are very will maintained actually look beautiful. Then I look around at St. Luke Cemetery in disbelief it's become a badly maintained cemetery for many years and will continue to get worse. Wish my family's graves weren't located here. This certainly won't be my resting place.

All their open land is for sale means they are looking for income and eliminating any potential future growth or expansion. Most of their non used land was sold to developers who built condos and homes on that land.

As I was exiting I took this photo of run down entrance with potholes everywhere. I probably should have taken the photo as I was driving in but I was in disbelief how bad St. Luke...

The Saint Luke Pet Cemetery is such a blessing for me as a pet owner and lover of fur babies!

I started using them in 2012 for a final resting place for my pets. They have always treated my bereavement with kindness and such great care.

I now have four pets buried there and it comforts me to be able to visit the cemetery to just touch their markers as I saw a prayer for my devoted pets. I know I will meet them all at Rainbow bridge and their earthly resting place is my tribute of love for the years shared with them.

Thank you so much to Chrissy who works so efficiently to get my requests for the plot taken care of with the groundskeepers. Also, big thanks to the church office managers, Linda and Elizabeth, who are just as friendly and kind as they can be when you reach out to them when needed.

Thank you all at Saint Luke Pet Cemetery. Rest in peace my babies: 🥀 Dog: Coogi (2008-2012), Cat: Possum (1998-2015), Cat: Mouse (2007-2024), Cat: Dee...

My brother just recently died.He was found on the 9th of August in his apartment,after being dead for 3 weeks. He had a heart attack. My parents are. buried in this cemetery. I was told in 2003 that there would be no problem puting mine or my brothers Ern in my mom's lot when it's time. There lots of room.My dad had a casket and my mother had a ful size lot paid for ,she was cremated instead of having a casket. I called several days ago about having him shipped from California to the cemetery to be put in the ground. I was told it would cost almost $3000. And no payment plan available. He was a veteran. I can't afford to fulfill the wish and promise I made to my brother. So now he will probably end up in the garage at his nieces home. Now my Parents are in a lonley grave site and don't know what will become of my brothers remains the...
