Maple Grove Cemetery — Attraction in New York

My father’s ashes were buried there in 1973. It was right next to a beautiful large tree. We could sit & lean against the tree & feel at peace. My daughter passed away and I had her buried in the same plot as my dad’s. It was still beautiful. I went back last year & the tree was gone. I couldn’t find the grave because the tree was gone. I went inside to ask. They have me a bad photo copy of that part of the cemetery. I still couldn’t find it after walking around freezing. I went back and asked if someone could show me where it was. He took the truck and I had to walk. I was very disappointed because of the tree. It was the largest tree there & they said they had to take it away. They said they would put another tree there. I went back today 12/29/19. Instead of a tree they put 3 more graves. It took me over an hour to find it and I went to the building that is suppose to be open until 5pm. It was 4pm and closed. I finally found the grave at 4:40. I was so upset that I just broke down and cried. Some of the graves were out of the ground a little. One was bent from the center.

I know I sound like a complaining beast but I’m not really a complainer. I brought my daughter here in 2017 and my sister had her husband & brother in law here because it was so peaceful. It is very upsetting to me. My daughter is a young adult. I live over an hour from there and had I known it was going to be unkept I would never have brought my daughter or recommended the cemetery. They lied to me about planting another tree. I’m sorry about complaining but I’m...

We have many relatives buried throughout the grounds here over the last 3-4 decades. It is a peaceful cemetery with rolling hills and beautiful foliage. We were just there today, burying my Grandmother. We don't live in NY anymore so we had to take an Uber in the procession from the church to the cemetery. When we arrived, the funeral director had to check in at the office for a couple of minutes and our Uber driver said he didn't want to take us to the site, and that is was not worth it to him to wait a few minutes, even after we offered him extra cash to wait. A gentleman who works for the cemetery, Daniel, offered to take us to the site so we didn't have to walk. He was very kind and respectful and gave us a little tour with some history. He really saved the...

Today we went to put wreaths on the graves of my father,grandparents,and sister All three graves were under water. The placks were covered with filthy water and leaves. My mother was crying and there was no one in the office to complain to, so we had to leave with my mom sobbing all the way home. This same situation has been going on for a year with the cemetery saying the situation was corrected. Obviously it wasn't Eventhough we had a lot of rain no other areas were like this Disgusting that this should be...
