Santa Fe National Cemetery — Attraction in Santa Fe

We recently laid my grandmother to rest here next to my grandfather. While there I was actually told to leave the cemetery because I had my ESA Chihuahua in my jacket. He wasn't peeing or pooping or running loose, but the rude employee told me they didn't allow dogs. Well I also have a service dog that I had to leave at home because my dad is petrified of big dogs. On the website, it doesn't state no dogs allowed, there are signs for no weapons. My mother will never forget that I was not in line to say my final farewell to my grandma because this employee told me I had to leave so I went to where our cars were to wait for my family. The sad things is, is my grandma loved chihuahuas so when the family saw I had my Buster with me, they all laughed and said grandma would love that he was there. How dare your employee take it upon himself to tell me to leave during a very stressful time with my family. Had it been anyone else's funeral like an aunt or uncle or cousin I would have made a scene he would have regretted. But out of respect for my mother I didn't. VERY...

I just took my mom a beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day on Friday, May 12th and as of today Saturday, May 13th my flowers are gone..... The flowers didn't make it to Sunday, May 14th for Mother's Day. It's really annoying! My previous bouquet was left at my mother's grave on Monday, May 8th and on Wednesday, May 10th the flowers were gone! This is a reoccurring problem here. The signs say artificial and fresh flowers are thrown when they look unsightly, NOT TRUE!! Her beatiful Easter bouquet with a cute little bunny only lasted one day at her gravesite and was gone the day before Easter!! If it's the volunteers that are doing this then they are being hateful because the flowers are being thrown while they are still in great condition. I've already complained to the person in the office and he said unfortunately homeless steal anything of value to sell but who is selling small floral bouquets on the side of the road? I never see the homeless...

The funeral detail that was there for my grandfather's ceremony was ate up! I'm a 3rd generation service member in my family and I've worked funeral details for both when I was in the military and in the fire service! It took them multiple attempts to properly fold the flag and then when they handed the flag to my mother they gave it to her not folded properly and then they took the flag back from her and tried to fold it multiple times again! Idc what branch of service you're representing you HAVE TO be on point at ALL TIMES when you're on a funeral detail! Multiple family members that were there were prior service and we wanted to just go up there take the flag from them and do it right! What an embarrassment! Santa Fe National Cemetery you all better get it right because that was completely unacceptable! If someone on my funeral detail did that I would take them to the office and make them fold the American flag 100...
