Brigadier General William C. Doyle Memorial Cemetery — Local services in North Hanover Township

I only put 1 star because you can not post a comment without clicking the stars. I wouldn't recommend this cemetery to my worst enemy! We had a horrible experience from the first phone call to set up a date for my Fathers burial service. Spoke to a woman named Cathy who was very rude,short and unsympathetic. She also gives out inaccurate information and doesn't even do the scheduling. My father had pre-registered to be buried at this cemetery (which is absolutely the only reason we did it here after reading some of the reviews)and she did not even pull him up in the system. She asked me everything that was already given when he did the paperwork! She also kept putting me on hold. Probably because she didn't like what I had to say because I let her know how unhelpful and disrespectful she was.She also called me multiple times because she kept forgetting to ask me something. She also called me one time to ask me again if my Mother was still alive and when I responded yes AGAIN her response was ok that's where the confusion is, I was trying to locate where your mother is buried here to put your father with her!! Really??? Apparently the place we used to prepare my Father has also had issues with Cathy when calling there. Then before finishing my phone call I was also told by Cathy that I had to call the Navy to let them know of his passing and to get the Honor Guards for service and that I also had to get the flag for the service. Really the Flag???How absurd is that? We are burying a Veteran in a Military Cemetery and you don't provide the flag? They do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to accommodate the families during such a difficult time. Then to top it all off they told us MULTIPLE TIMES that the service is only 15 minutes and the Honor Guard will take up about 7-7 1/2 minutes and the rest of time we can have someone speak on behalf of the family. We did not have a priest to speak because my Father did not want one so my sister did a Ulogy. When the Honor Guards were done we were told there was five minutes left to say our goodbyes. Two minutes into my sister's Ulogy they rudely interrupted her to say to us... I didn't know you were going to do this that time is up we have another service. My sister said I have two more things to say and I am done. She said ok. Then just as my sister was finising she said again... ok I am sorry but time is up we have a service waiting we ask that everyone leave at this time. It was so disrespectful!! We DID NOT even get the lousy 15 minutes that we were told MULTIPLE TIMES we were only going to get.The service was at 1pm and we were back in our cars at 1:11pm!!! Absolutely pathetic to cut someone off during a Ulogy and rush us away when we still had time. This cemetery is nothing but a disgrace. They should be ashamed of how they treat the families of these Veterans. I would never tell anyone to use this place and have absolutely nothing nice to...

My mother past away on March 3 2011 and she was buried with her husband at William Doyle Cemetery He past away in 2008 so the plate was there with his name and date of birth and date of death and when my mother was buired there they were suppossed to make a new plate that would also have her name and information on it. When my mother passed away it was very unexcpected and she was only 53 so it hit me real hard and was very diffucult to deal. I was not emotional able to bring myself to visit her grave untill mothers day of 2013. My daughter and I brought flowers to put on the grave. When I got there I seen that they never added my mothers name or information to the stone there was absoulutly no sign that my mother was even buried there except for her husbands name that was on the stone. Needlless to say i was livid and first thing Monday morning I called them and I was told they would get back to me the next day they never did. Since then I have contacted them about 3 more times and I keep getting the run around. I am still in the process of dealing with them and I feel like the death of a loved one is one of the hardest things that a person can go through and i think they are very unorginized and should make sure stuff like this does not happen. I feel like my mother was thrown in the ground and forgotten becasue her name is not on the plate with her husbands name. Going to visit someones grave should bring you comfort but unfortanatly I feel like I am not able to visit her resting place and get a feeling of comfort becasue...

My Dad was laid to rest on April 28, 2025 at Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Wrightstown, New Jersey. The entire ceremony was beautifully and respectfully carried out. Every detail felt intentional—from the reverent silence to the crisp, solemn movements of the two soldiers who stood watch by my Dad’s casket. They honored him with such dignity, and the moment they presented the folded American flag to my Mom was deeply moving. It’s something we’ll never forget.

My Dad was placed in Section Z1. I found that profoundly symbolic—Z, the final letter of the alphabet, and 1, the very beginning. It spoke to me as a quiet message of completeness—of a life that came full circle. An Alpha and Omega moment. The end of one journey, and the start of something eternal. It gave me comfort, as if Heaven itself was marking the occasion with deeper meaning.

Even the number on his grave marker—1017—stood out to me. My nephew Jackson passed away on October 7 (10/7), and seeing both a 10 and a 7 in my Dad’s marker number felt symbolic. Not an exact match, but a gentle echo—like a thread connecting two souls we loved so deeply. A quiet reassurance that neither of them is forgotten, and that they are together now.

All in all, the day was a beautiful and honorable farewell. The cemetery staff and military personnel handled everything with grace and respect. It was a dignified tribute to a good man—a faithful husband, devoted father, and humble servant of...
