In the past 8 years, we have always received a letter in the mail, or it was printed in the news paper and then there were signage put up on McKinley Highway as well as Jefferson stating cemetery cleanup and when it is...

No notice given... going into the cemetery, in very small print, it gives the clean up days....but for someone with poor eyesight, they'd never see it... We lost a $100 solar light from Eternal Lighting Company, a couple other statues and figurines, and then five other solar lights that we had on some other family members graves as well...

They were very professional and did not pressure us into anything other than the package my father had wanted. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars were small things, they could not give me an exact date when they would have things ready for us, causing a small worry it would not be done before the memorial service (although, they said things would be ready by then - and they were) and, there was a miscue in the phone number they were calling - it was one digit off and so we did not get notified things were ready until we had called them. Aside from these minor issues I thought things went smoothly.

I tried to make light out of it in the moment because I didn't know if the kids knew exactly what was going on. For one they didn't dig the hole big enough. So instead of pausing and fixing it they decided to just keep trying to push the coffin in. Then we had to move Dad off of the top and the men in my family had to redigg it. I feel it was very disrespectful to even have to see." They said it was a technical difficulty and didn't offer our family anything to make it right. They also said it was a pine casket when it was actually just a cardboard box. Traumatized and disappointed.

Located in Goshen, Indiana, Oakridge Cemetery had its earliest known burial in 1832 and was…read moreofficially founded by First Methodist Church in 1839. In 1859, First Methodist passed it to the city of Goshen. The cemetery has 40+ acres of land and contains quite a few historic burials including eight mayors of Goshen along with veterans from every major American war. I had the opportunity to visit Oakridge Cemetery during one of my Tenderness Tour events in Elkhart County when, somewhat unexpectedly, the cemetery was actually part of my route because the trail I was using went right through it. As I tend to enjoy visiting cemeteries, I ended up spending quite a bit of time in the cemetery (and ultimately ran late getting to where I was actually going). The cemetery has several interesting sections - Grand Army of the Republic, Potter's Field, Sharis Israel (a Jewish congregation), International Organization of Odd Fellows, and Eastern Orthodox among them. The cemetery has quite a bit of pavement within the boundaries of the cemetery and is pretty easy to wheel through. It's a large cemetery, for sure, and there are some inclines that can make visiting some graves a little difficult. Oakridge is still a city-run cemetery. In addition to locals, there are three known Congressmen here and a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient (Ruel M. Johnson). In 2019, the cemetery added a natural burial option for cremains called Forest of Remembrance. It makes burial a more natural experience and is surprisingly affordable. There's no denying this is an older cemetery. However, it is well maintained by Goshen and it continues to be used with space available to this day. I found my visit fascinating and it's actually an ideal place for prayer, contemplation, or simply walking/wheeling through.
