Our Lady of Grace Cemetery — Local services in Middletown Township

Unfortunately, I am disappointed in this cemetery. Negatives as follow: A cemetery should look at its best for respect to the people who went before us and for the families of those people. Let alone, burying or cremation of a person that is costly.

•First, my gripe is for several years I have asked that the lawns be graded evenly so no one hurts themselves in walking to a grave. Holes and dips! I was told before this review, it would eventually be taken care of and was lied to. •Second, instead of putting in new trees, I think the roadways in the cemetery should be paved (holes etc) and to boot, it would make the cemetery look nice and well taken care of. The trees that are there, some branches are in need to be cut. •Third, more trash cans is needed

The Good as follow: •Street signs •New trash cans •benches

Back to the cemetery and sitting in the car with my elderly Mother. Along comes a ride on blower. The worker was blowing the leaves etc off from the payment onto the cemetery/tombstones. He came back again and passed by and blew the other side of payment onto the grass/side street near highway. Now, if any of this would have blown on my new vehicle...the cemetery and I would have...

After reading some of the negative reviews here I was nervous about how I'd find my Grandmother's grave. It's 40+ years old. The cemetery was clean, quiet, and well-maintained. It was so peaceful that I saw deer on the property just a few yards away from me. You don't even notice the adjacent busy highway. I didn't notice any overgrown areas. I found the plot easily. From what I could see & I’ll post photos, there were no problems to report. One odd thing I noticed is the soil. It's a weird orange color and sandy consistently. Nothing I plant takes. ( maybe that's the idea?) I also noticed several newer grave sites. They pile all the dirt and flowers on top of the grave that belongs to that person(s). Carefully done to not invade neighboring plots. I think many negative reviews must have been pandemic-related because it appears now all is well. I hope this review may give some families peace of mind. I visited on a Sunday in early...

Our family plot was purchased in 1954 after the death of my grandfather. In the interim, my grandmother, step-uncle, father, uncle and his wife, and finally, this month, my mother have all been interned at OLG cemetery. Throughout all those years my family has never had a bad word for this cemetery. My parents would visit at least two times a year, and after my father died, my sister and I would take my mother twice a year. The cemetery has always been in very well cared for condition. When we were making arrangements for my mother, Kathy and Barrett in the office were very helpful with transference of the deed and supplying a list of nearby restaurants that could host a luncheon after the service at the gravesite.

For those considering this location for the burial of a loved one, just be aware of what they allow on the graves. A large sign is posted just outside of the office building that lets you know what is and...
