She had not right to touch any of his things. My son mattered. His things matter. Our memories with him matter. How dare she throw his things away without notifying us. I was in the office today and they had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to place a $3 bouquet on his grave. No, I don't want your HEB flowers, ma'am. I want my mom's Christmas tree and the Kochina that my son and I purchased at Bryce Canyon. I want the coaster that has his beautiful photo on it. I want the lights that I placed back in his area so that it's not dark back there. I want you to show my son respect. He deserves it. Every single person who is placed out there deserves it. It is tacky and hateful of you to treat their things like they aren't important. Their lives and their things are important whether you think so or not! I would rather bring my don't ashes home with me than have them somewhere that could care less about him. His name was Martin, and he matters!

So super helpful to get the full on sales pitch while finalizing my 2 year olds final resting place. Thankfully my Dad dealt with everything and decided that, sure, he would play ball and bought the 3 plots. Everything was handled professionally for my daughter's service and plot. Fast forward to December 2020. My aforementioned Dad passed away. His death was very unexpected. We knew he wanted to be buried next to his granddaughter and immediately made arrangements for him to be transported from Houston to Austin. Everything related to the transfer and grave-side service was handled great. We took great care with designing my Dad's marker. My Mom placed the final order December 2020. We were told it would be placed on 3-5 months. It is now almost a year later and still no marker. My Mom initially reached out to her contact at Cook Walden (Kyle) multiple times via email with no response. She called and left multiple messages with no response. Luckily I live in Austin and was able to park myself at the funeral home until someone would speak to me. After multiple assurances that 'everything was being done' to get my Dad's marker placed, I left. I reached out via text message multiple times and was told that 'shipping delays were causing delivery issues, etc.'. Sure. This would be a valid excuse for a month, 3 months, 6 month delay, but it's been a YEAR. A whole YEAR. My last text message was unanswered.

It's beautiful, old, and fairly unkept (weeds, vines, stickers, fire ants). Drivable/accessible. Susanna Dickinson - section 1, Lot 363 located in the southwest end of the old cemetery. Including info because it's hard to find specifics. Blurry map available online. Bio: Susanna Dickinson was the wife of Captain Almaron Dickinson and was the sole adult Anglo survivor that witnessed the massacre at the Battle of the Alamo. On the morning of March 6, 1836, as the troops of General Antonio López de Santa Anna stormed the mission, Captain Dickinson ran to his wife, reported that all was lost, and expressed hope that she could save herself and their child. Although he died at the Alamo, his wife and child Angelina survived. Following the fall of the Alamo, Susanna was escorted from the Alamo mission, interviewed by Santa Anna himself and sent by him with a message to Sam Houston. She was a strong woman survivor and remained a patriot of Texas, but the memory of those days would haunt her the rest of her life. Bio by: John "J-Cat" Griffith

I stopped by the Texas State Cemetery on a Thursday afternoon in mid May. The weather was just…read morestarting to warm up, but hadn't quite crossed into "Texas hot" yet. Fred greeted me at the gate along with another staff member and immediately made me feel welcome. He asked if I was meeting anyone, looking for someone specific, or if there was anything in particular I wanted to see. What followed was one of the most unexpectedly meaningful experiences I've had in Austin. Calling what Fred did a "tour" honestly feels too shallow. He walked me through the grounds like a historian and storyteller preserving something important. He shared stories about the people buried there, explained the architecture and monuments, and had an unbelievable depth of knowledge about Texas history. But more than that, he knew how to read the moment. He knew when to pause and let you take it all in. He knew when to speak, when to move on, and somehow seemed to anticipate my questions before I even asked them. Fred was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but genuinely funny, engaging, and an amazing ambassador for the cemetery and for Texas history itself. You could tell he truly cared about preserving the stories behind the names. A cemetery may seem like an unusual destination to some people, but I see it as a place of remembrance, sacrifice, service, and history. Visiting here, especially after also seeing the Alamo, helps you understand the absolute, unmistakable pride Texans have in their state. There's just no question about it. One detail I especially appreciated was learning that the visitor center was intentionally designed to resemble the Long Barracks at the Alamo. It was a subtle but powerful connection between two places dedicated to preserving Texas history and identity. If you appreciate history, storytelling, or quiet places that make you reflect a little deeper, this is absolutely worth visiting.

I am a frequent visitor to Assumption Cemetery, (located in Austin, Texas) & have been for many…read moreyears because so many of my family members are buried there. And the one thing that I can say is consistent about Assumption Cemetery is the inconsistency of the maintenance & upkeep of the grounds at Assumption Cemetery. During my most recent visit on Father's Day 06/15/2025 around 6pm - which was a rainy day. there were so many areas that were flooded w/ water completely covering some of the tombstones (see pic & video included in this review). I have called the cemetery on Monday, 06/16/2025 & left a message to report the flooded areas. I also left a message about the following issues needing to be addressed: -- - - trash needing to be cleaned up & not enough trash bins located on-site so visitors can throw away their trash. Only 2 regular sized trash bins currently there & the trash was overflowing because cans weren't big enough. -- - - no markers on-site to list the section #s of the burial grounds so 1st time visitors can easily find grave sites. During my most recent visit, there was a woman looking for her dads grave stone & she did have a section # of the stone but since there are no signs listing the sections, she wasn't able to locate it. - - - clearing the weeds & grass from covering any gravestones - some stones are partially covered by grass and others are completely covered Each time I visit, I always bring gloves & trash bag(s) w/ me so I can pick up any trash that I see on the grounds & to pull up any weeds covering any of the stones. I do this for my family members AND for any other grave stones I see that are not my family members, out of respect but I do wish that the Assumption Cemetery grounds staff did a better job of keeping the cemetery grounds clean & maintained. I will continue to follow up on the issues mentioned above until they get resolved & I would also encourage any other cemetery visitors to contact the cemetery staff for any concerns they may have, so together we can keep the pressure on those who are responsible for the cleanliness & maintenance of Assumption Cemetery.

This cemetery is located on a side road just a stones throw away from RM - 620. What's really…read moreunique about this cemetery is that all the graves look as though they were "do it yourself" projects. These plots are well carved out on the sloping limestone hillside. Many of the gravesites have used the natural materials of the Hill country and embellished them with some personal items. This is still an active cemetery with many recent graves, however, I did not spot any markers from the 1800s. For the most part, the cemetery is well manicured and taken care of, and even has a paved road, running through it from the front gate to the rear gate. The graves and family plots are randomly arranged according to the topography of the hillside. Access to the property is simple with just an unlocked gate and a low perimeter wall. Many of the decedents here may well be associated with the Whitestone church just 100 feet away. There is also a recently built columbarium for those who wish to store their ashes here. Normally, this would be a nice quiet place in the country, but that's not the case with the noisy traffic on 620. I did not spot any Texas historical sign nor any information on making this your forever home. This is most likely a private cemetery, not a city one and I even spotted a grave where someone had their dog buried next to them. Informative photos below.
