John was meant for this work and it shows. He is empathetic and patient, while also being extremely organized, knowledgeable and seemingly always available. John walked us down this very difficult path in a gentle manner, and took care of us and our mom like we were family. We never felt pushed towards any decisions, he showed us options and let us decide always ready to answer questions. I hope I won't be planning a funeral for a long time, but I can tell you without a doubt I would work with Dee again.

After Concord was incorporated as a town in the fall of 1635, one of the first official acts of its…read moreoriginal settlers, along with building a meetinghouse, was the establishment of two small burying grounds. This one, which came to be known as the "Hill Burying Ground" or "Hill Burying Place", was laid out near the northwest end of the long gravel ridge that sheltered the rude houses of the first settlers when they first came to Concord. At its east end, the first small meetinghouse was built, probably near the top of the hill. For many years, all burials are said to have been done here on the hill. According to one tradition, the very first area used was actually to the east of the present bounds, although no trace of it has been found. In any case, the earliest graves were either unmarked, or had wooden or simple stone markers that have since disappeared. The earliest marked grave here is that of Joseph Meriam, who died in 1677 at age 47. There are approximately 500 headstones with the earliest (marked) death date of 1677, the latest is 1854.

Our local one came in with the cheapest cremation costs. A friend recommended Casper and it was almost half the cost from what our family funeral home quoted us. That was with a discount as well! I called Casper about 2 months beforehand and they were very detailed and provided all the info that was needed. I had multiple phone calls with them and they were able to assist me even though I was in California. I mostly spoke with Jake and Colton during this process. When I arrived Saturday was the only day I could go down and we had a snowstorm the day prior. Roads were pretty bad and they were able to accommodate me even though they had a service going on. Parking can be a nightmare there, I parked a few blocks away near a barber shop. I would recommend this place to everyone!! I was truly blown away by their service and empathy.

For decades, however, all burials were made in the Hill Burying Ground https://www.yelp.com/biz/old-hill-burying-ground-concord?hrid=XYc2ZK_qQpjs5z7q_Rd5dg near the first meetinghouse on the ridge east of the Mill Brook. The South Burying Place is the smallest of the public cemeteries in Concord. It features closely packed gravestones arranged in ragged rows facing southwest. Most graves have both a headstone and footstone. The cemetery sits on 1/2 acre. There are approximately 230 headstones. The earliest death date and first burial is 1697 and the latest is mid-19th century. Many of the stones are a bit faded and illegible with my limited skills. One reads, "In memory of Miss Rebeckah Barrett, daughter of Ens. John & Mrs Lois Barrett, who died Nov. 17, 1793. Aged 28. Retire my friends dry up your tears, I must be here till Christ appears." Both John and Lois Barrett are also laid to rest here. [Review 15240 overall, 742 of 2021, round number 1100 in Massachusetts.]
