Ukiah Cemetery - Resident deer

Ukiah Cemetery

(2 reviews)

It is peculiar. This is my 2nd cemetery write-up. They are both for different purposes though…read more The 1st one was after my mother's burial & I was moved to relate some of the aspects of the place & time. This one has to do with my ' hobby' where I spend a good deal of time in cemeteries. Weird huh? I like to volunteer for the site Find-A-Grave, doing photo requests for folks looking for gravestones of family, friends, Vets, heroes. Being in Mendocino county, there are many smaller, pioneer cemeteries, but here in the metropolis of Ukiah, we have one pretty big one, about 15,000+ souls. And it is fairly old, with the earliest graves moved here in 1875 from other places. So the 'work' is come & go, so to speak. Some weeks may have a dozen or more requests, and like this week, only 1. When there aren't many coming in, I get a kind of withdrawal! It has become an obsession. i just enjoy doing it. This Russian River District cemetery is a tranquil, well laid out space, amid giant redwood, cedar & hardwood trees. Roaming families of deer abound. The stones run from ornate with iron fences surrounding, to a wooden plank or cross that is no longer legible. Many are just the simple stone plaque inserted in the ground. The ones I find sad, and are disappointing to relay to the requestor are the unmarked graves, with no stone or marker. Also occasionally one of the folks I'm searching for was a resident of the Mendocino State Hospital when it was a mental institution until the mid 1970's. Those 1400+ folks who died while living there are buried in a very tasteful memorial plot , but not individually identified. Sometimes it is shocking news to report! The staff in the office have always been very responsive to my requests & very helpful... emailing me plot maps with locations & helping in many ways. I would literally be lost without them. I did have a personal concern awhile back. I was reading an engrossing book, "Holy Ghosts: Or How a (Not-So) Good Catholic Boy Became a Believer in Things That Go Bump in the Night " by Gary Jansen. This author had used the paranormal investigator Mary Ann Winkowski to rid his house of spirits. I found on her website a question forum & I asked her about visiting cemeteries regularly & if I was 'inviting' lost spirits to accompany me home! Yikes! I don't want that. She said & I quote " .. it won't happen. Spirits don't tend to stay at their graves. Cemeteries are for the living." Well, that made me feel a lot better!

I have family members buried here, and I visit fairly often. This cemetery is also known as the…read moreRussian River Cemetery District. The grounds staff are amazing. They do great work and are extremely friendly. They smile and wave. They try to take care of items placed on graves, which isn't necessarily their responsibility. The administrative staff member that we met was extremely accomodating. Animal life in the cemetery is abundant and actually astonishing to observe throughout the year. If you bring flowers or a plant to place at a grave site, please understand that animals are animals and usually your tasty plants or flowers will be reduced to a bundle of stems within about 24 hours. This is a hard and fast rule, and the staff will recommend artificial plants for longer-lasting tributes. I happen to enjoy finding that my choice of plant was especially tasty. But take a photo for a keepsake if the live arrangement you bring is especially meaningful to you. It's a sacred place for me, so I'll stop here and let readers discover the rest for themselves. I'm thankful for such a nice place to visit and enjoy.

We had a truly beautiful experience with Valley Memorial Park Cemetery, Funeral Home, and Reception…read moreCenter during one of the most difficult times in our lives. From the very beginning, their team was patient, compassionate, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. After a previous experience with another funeral home where everything felt urgent, this was completely different. The atmosphere here was serene, welcoming, and allowed us the space to breathe, ask questions, and make decisions with care. We genuinely felt supported every step of the way. Because of this experience, I now feel inspired to plan my own arrangements ahead of time so my family can focus on grieving and being together, rather than navigating logistics during such a painful time. I am deeply grateful for the care they provided. 10/10, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral services.

I would have highly recommend ed and given them 5 stars even then. But now, I'd give them 10 stars if I could. They were amazing as I navigated through last minute, challenging complications with my mom's remains leading up to her burial.... and they didn't even handle her or cremate her when she passed (an East Bay mortuary did). They truly went above and beyond even coming to pick up my moms remains at my home and finding a way to ensure it would arrive safely close to her burial site since I could not take her on a plane with her urn. They were kind, compassionate, professional, thorough, and go above and beyond at a time when it's really needed. Thank you Eugene, in particular!

You don't typically think about funeral homes until you suddenly need one. My mom of 91 years old…read morehad entered hospice and we knew the end was coming. So I didn't have very much time to do any research, but in speaking to the hospice people and a few others, the name of Adobe Creek kept coming up. I was a bit under the gun because my daughter needed to return to college and we wanted to make sure that she was here for the service. The cremation, which my mother requested, took about a week. Everything went smoothly and I had about as good as an experience as you could imagine. Other than the cremation, getting the death certificate and selecting an urn I didn't use all of their services, but my experience was top-notch. Leekiesha was the person who helped me and she did a great job.

FIRST he said get your mom and we will return every penny then he decided he'd keep ,my loved one and my money via text. No return slip ever sent open request, Even though we had a blessing he scheduled it right before and didn't not arrange with doctor to ouch the hour making everyone on edge himself and the priest, i think that's called hostage, LOOK for a place that doesn't cut corners.

*Halloween themed review. Boooo!*…read more Stumbled onto this beautiful cemetery as it is right next to the Sonoma Overlook Trail. After hiking that trail down by the staging area where the cars are parked, I noticed an open gate leading to the cemetery which is in the same hills. I don't find cemeteries scary or creepy but rather reverent and humbling. Ive visited many cemeteries whether a family involvement or just to pass through and observe. And I have found that all are different, some are more interesting than others. I like ones with more landscape features such as hills, more plant life/trees, well laid out/organized. I don't care for one's next to modern commercial buildings or when there are more dirt or concrete than plant life. That is just a personal aesthetic preference. This Mountain Cemetery fits its name, as well as my eye and senses. It is beautiful just to stroll around if you are not scared of the nature and essence of death. Every culture handles it in its own ways and i can respect them all. It's how we honor and remember those who pass and gave is what's more important to me. The older headstones most with birthdates from the 1800s seemed to be higher up in the hills. The more recent ones seem to be lower. But I loved all the oak and cedar trees, lots of shade. There was even a thick patch of prickly pear cactus. There's also a veterans cemetery right below this public one. That one is very manicured and succinct. There are trails that weave through all this. To hike these hills, you will not only get a great dose of fresh air and exercise, but you may also get a moment to thank those that have lived and contributed; and more importantly to me, to appreciate those who are still currently here. A very humanizing experience.

One of the best "hiking" and historical cemeteries I have been to! Noticed the more older plots are…read morelocated higher up and meanders along the hillside. Beautiful walk, views and discoveries of families, years and stone styles. It is an active cemetery, so be respectful of the environment. There is a parking lot and it is connected to a bunch of trails. In fact there is a street sign in the middle of the cemetery guiding you to the main forest trail. By the parking lot, there is also a Veterans memorial and an open-field park. Peaceful and beautiful.
