Unfortunately, it is in a state of neglect and many of the historical tombs and stones have fallen to the ground or have been damaged. The Preservation Society has alerted the city about this and hopefully something will be done to bring this back to its former glory. Some of the history behind this historical cemetery, in 1834, the Grace Episcopal Church purchased more than four acres of land on the South side of Providence for use as a burial ground. By 1843, the site encompassed nine acres within the triangular-shaped, 8500+ plot cemetery at the intersection of Broad Street and Elmwood Avenue, the gateway to the south side of Providence. From its original inception, the cemetery was designed with great care and attention to detail. All of the burial plots were arranged symmetrically, in diamond-shaped sections separated by avenues named after trees. "Cemetery Square" occupies the center of the cemetery and is marked by a small, diamond-shaped area. Between 1859 and 1860, a house in the Gothic Carpenter style was built on the property to serve as a caretaker's lodge. This cemetery has great historical significance, as the backgrounds of many interred in the Grace Church Cemetery represent the growth and development of this section of the City of Providence. Various groups are represented, including mill workers, veterans of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, as well as World Wars I and II, political and church leaders, and representation from the Armenian community. An independent archivist has estimated that there are 256 veteran burials in Grace Church Cemetery.

They keep the grounds very clean here , and they don't just throw your precious decorations out immediately they allow your decorations to your loved ones to stay for a little bit. It's a little hard to navigate on your own for the first time , but if you go to the main office they will help you out give you a map or guide you. The chapels are beautiful ! I attended a burial here and it was very beautiful , they made a sad moment into something understanding and accepting. The family who runs this are very nice. The stones are very pretty and the upkeep makes me very happy. Cemetery's that are well kept are hard to find, but this one is one of them. There's a lot of water surrounding , if you do want to stay around and walk around ( I have numerous family members here. ) There's a church directly next to this site as well with its own lot, if you want to attend church.

I'm sure it would be a great learning experience to tour with a guide to find out about the history . There is also a beautiful view at sunset overlooks the bay in the winter where I have experienced amazing colors as the sun sets. It's definitely a trip to take.

Hidden gem alert!…read more Amazing stone structures greet you as you enter this stunning cemetery, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. I happened upon Juniper Hill while taking a brisk walk at lunch. I'm so glad I did! It's obvious that the caretakers love the property as every tree and stone is well cared for. Some of the tree species I have never seen before. Coming around the last bend, there are amazing views of the entire downtown area of Bristol. The sunsets must be amazing! I found out later that the caretaker offers historical tours, botanical tours and a special Halloween tour once annually! I will definitely be back for that!

It…read moreis a serene and beautifully maintained space that offers more than just a glimpse into Fall River's past. The grounds are in excellent condition, with winding paths, mature trees, and a quiet dignity that makes it easy to linger. The primary attraction for many tourists is Lizzie Borden's tomb, which is surprisingly simple to locate. Proceed directly down the central road from the main entrance on Prospect Street. A fork will appear after 200 yards or so; bear left and keep going until you come to a little rotary. Just off the road to the right is the Borden family plot; park close by and stroll toward it. Lizzie's stone is plain and level, bearing only her name: "Lizzie." Her parents and sister Emma are among the many Bordens buried there, and it's part of a wider family cluster. The cemetery itself is quiet. Historic without being overgrown. Solemn without feeling oppressive. The kind of place where memory feels tangible, especially when you're standing among the names that shaped one of America's most enduring mysteries. Oak Grove is worth the visit, regardless of your interest in real crime or your general admiration for well-maintained cemeteries. [Review 1090 of 2025 - 1240 in Massachusetts - 24644 overall]

And this cemetery is maintained by very nice people. Everyone who works here that I have encountered or even watched I noticed how gentle and caring they are with the grounds. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember and I always remember just how clean everything always ways. I believe in order to bury your family member here they have to be Catholic, just something to keep in mind. Consider this cemetery for any passing family members. I know this is such a tough topic, and it was a little hard for me to write, but I know it will be worth it for others.

The dead probably don't care so much, but us living who visit them would enjoy the serenity. This is not a creepy horror-movie cemetery, no, this is the quiet contemplative kind, where it's socially acceptable to talk to yourself and the ones pushing daisies from below. The staff seem to take good care of the grounds, keeping the grass trim and occasionally planting those tiny flags on holidays. There's a golf course next door... I wonder if the old retired golfers look over here and feel differently than I do...
