The views from the top are gorgeous, offering a great view of both the town and the sea. There's also a peaceful pond and some benches, making it a calming place to reflect. Everyone we saw in the cemetery was reverent and respectful which we loved to see. The stone engravings and unique shapes are really interesting to see, but watch your step. The lack of clear paths and the age of the stones and trees create bumps and uneven ground. If you're into history or love a bit of spooky charm, or are looking to visit all the Hocus Pocus filming locations, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. It's both hauntingly pretty and weirdly peaceful.

I love a good cemetery, and for my 600th Yelp review I am happy to tell all of you about one of the…read morecoolest cemetaries I have been to. Established in 1638, this is one of the oldest cemeteries in all of New England. If you are into historic sites, this should be on your do not miss list. The old headstones and the history within this little cemetery on a hill is fascinating. For some cinematic history, both "Hocus Pocus" and "The Good Son" had scenes within their movies filmed here. It also has a nice little gazebo to sit in to take in the wonderful view of the coast.

The facility was very clean, welcoming and professional, and even the bathrooms were spotless. They have several different areas, so guests don't have to stay in just one room. People could step aside for a quiet moment or gather and visit, which made it feel comfortable for everyone. There's plenty of parking, and they even had someone in the parking lot guiding people on where and how to park. It was such a nice touch, because parking can get a little messy when lots of people arrive at once, and it meant one less thing to worry about. I'm grateful to the team at Campbell Funeral Home for their care and professionalism. I'd recommend them to any family looking for a respectful, well-run place to honour someone they love.

We worked with David Davis in Gloucester and felt so fortunate. His calm reassuring demeanor coupled with his quiet easy sense of humor really put us at ease. He handled everything so well and was so organized it really made the process so much less stressful at what is usually a very stressful time for most families. Our Aunt Alice would have loved him! Thank you so much. We will be highly recommending Campbell Funeral Home. Best, The Cail Family

She touched so many people's lives and I knew we needed to find a special place - beautiful, open, intimate - befitting her spirit, but also large enough to accommodate the hundreds of people who would come to celebrate her life.   The facility was more like a beautiful event space than a dreary funeral home - it was warm and bright with lots of open windows - it just has a different vibe...   With their help, we planned a celebration of life that allowed us all (our family, friends & co-workers) to honor and remember Marissa the way she wanted.   They helped with the digital tribute and even did a second extremely personalized video tribute that we shared during her service.   They presented many options and choices but never forced us into anything and they were great listeners in helping us create the type of memorial that was just what we needed.   There were plenty of staff there to assist, we never worried about a thing. They let us focus on our friends and family as all the details were taken care of.   After the service they have been reaching out to check on me and help with all the people to notify. No one ever wants to do this - but Anthony and the team treated me like we're family.   They were professional but not stuffy... helpful but not bothersome.  They followed up but just enough... I want to especially thank Anthony O'Donnell, Brianna, and Diane for their compassion, kindness, and attention to detail.  I highly recommend O'Donnell's if you experience a loss like my own.

A very large…read moregraveyard Harmony Grove is a very large and cool cemetery. Opened it 1840, it is built on very uneven terrain and has some steep hills, great old trees and lots and lots of different types of gravestones and memorials. I'm not sure how many acres the cemetery has but it certainly is vast. A cool Gothic revival chapel built in 1905 is at the entrance and then the small roads just sort of meander over the hills and through the trees. Lot of huge, medium and small sized monuments. Some quite modest and others very impressive and not doubt expensive. Some famous people that I never heard of are buried here as well as a whole lot of not so famous and ordinary folks. Some obelisks, morbid looking angels, a Civil War monument and even a couple of old cannon are scattered about. Some of the gravestones are literally hanging on the edge of small cliffs. One of the very coolest and most interesting graveyards I have been to. You can quite literally spend hours walking around here. A cemetery that is a fascinating place to visit even if you don't know any of the residents.
