Calvary Cemetery

Trying to pay my respects to family members on a Saturday morning. My family gravesites are nowhere near where a current funeral was taking place. I backed out of my spot and turned forward, not realizing the funeral entourage was headed in my direction. An agressive groundskeeper angrily got out of his truck and nastily motioned for me to move it as if I was a circus animal. I was already in reverse but had to make a 3 point turn, he still aggressively came at me as if I was interrupting the service. I angrily mouthed that I was moving and that he needed to calm down. There is no need for this as I’m trying to pay respect to my relatives; a large portion of them are ufortunately buried here - the grounds are unkempt. If Calvary needs to block off roads for a funeral service then do so with proper signage or cones, not angry men. I will never be buried here, and hope no one else in my family plans on it.

I think the cemetery is very well-maintained, and the staff were very helpful and personable. I am shocked to see such negative reviews and urge people to remember that they are maintaining thousands of burial sites. I came on an impromptu trip and was very pleased.

I am sorry to say the area my Mother is buried (in the wall) by Mc Lean Boulevard was so dirty today (1/20/22). She is outside in a long corridor. The corridor was so dirty with garbage and other things that have blown in from the outside. I did my best to pick everything up with my hands. In the meantime, a worker was sitting in a cemetery vehicle doing nothing for 40 minutes. It was 3:00 pm. Next time I will brink my own blower. Under the stairs is damaged cement under the stairs and the floor has rust all over it in front of the elevator door. Please check this area. Thank you.
