We are allowed to use the restroom if wearing Covid face cover. Rating remains at 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🔲 Visited in 2020 Sept. 🔲 My Dad was laid to rest here at one of the mausoleums on 2020 June 5 and we visited him in September for his 86th 🎂 birthday 🎂. This is a very nice, visually and spacially appropriate, respectable resting place for the dearly departed. The mausoleums are very nice and visually appropriate in appearance. The only issue worth mentioning because of Covid-19 restrictions is that I was almost denied use of their public 🚻 restroom but the Old Bridge Funeral Home personnel of NJ who were accompanying us for my Dad's burial was able to negotiate the matter on my behalf and I am appreciative of this gesture. That was a bit of an inconvenience and annoyance on the part of the cemetery personnel but because it was handled appropriately, it was NOT a serious issue. This review was posted on...

My great grandparents and grand aunt are laid to rest here. I had been searching high and low for them, as they were all immigrants.

I cried when I read that email. Aside from my grand aunt who died at 13, and my grandfather who passed in '96, my great grandparents had no other family here close by. They had no one to visit their graves. They laid there alone. I promised my grandfather I would go one day. I was only 13 when he died. Now I am an adult and I can go. I just had to find them first. They're not forgotten...

The cemetery is nice, but if you are going to have this be your family member's final resting place be ready for aggravation, frustration and excuses for months and months. You pay, and expect a level of service for what you pay but all you get in return is, "Today we'll take care of your concern." You go back a week later and nothing has been done. You complain again, and again they just tell you what you want to hear to get you out of their hair but nothing is done. I have been dealing with them for over six months and I am still waiting for someone to do something of what I have been asking them to do. I am not asking for something too difficult either it is as simple as "put a marker on my father's grave so my family can find it when they go visit." Apparently even this is too much for them, because I have been asking for this for three months and they still...
