Montefiore Cemetery

I really have nothing bad to say. In fact the people in the office have been nothing short of amazing. My dad is at section 67
As far as some peoples loved ones areas not being taken care of, I can only say first did you ask the office? I go every Sunday for 3 months now I spend 30 min or so with my dad, then walk around for 30 min. This past Sunday I found the entire section 54, 68, 69,70 all mowed and clean and cleared. Also 24 25 and 26.

If complaining doesn't help, You can do it yourself. THEY WILL EVEN GIVE YOU THE EQUIPMENT

Cemetery does really take care of Graves. Place is always clean whenever I visit.

If you are grousng about how your plot looks, clean it up and stop looking for someone else to do YOUR duty.

This old graveyard isn't perfectly maintained but the folks who work here are a very nice, helpful, polite and caring sort. They are happy to provide equipment for cleanup, though you should bring your own to clean up your own family's plot. This can save you a few bucks, but this is a poor long-term solution as the cemetery is getting less and less income from families each year.

Alternatively, you can participate in the management of the cemetery-- as a volunteer, of course-- or set up a volunteer cleanup, organize a Boy or Girl Scout Troop for such a service, donate funds for cleanup, do something other than whine plaintively online.

I visit at least yearly and try to come by each season. Fewer and fewer visitors, more and more weeds, more-wrinkled faces, larger cars, 50's music wafting from the car stereos...
