I know, what am I thinking writing a review for a cemetery? Well let me tell you why I did write a…read morereview for a cemetery. This particular cemetery has historical significance for the Johnstown area. Let me get this out there before I move forward with my review. Growing up in this area you kind of grow up with a fascination with floods. How they can destroy so much in so little time and be gone shortly after that. Johnstown has been affected by several floods over time with the most memorable one being the Great Johnstown Flood of 1889. This one particular flood basically leveled Johnstown and every little town upstream between the dam and the city. After all the carnage, clean up ensued. The biggest hurdle was identifying all that perished in the flood. That's where Grandview Cemetery comes into play. Grandview Cemetery is the setting for the Plot of the Unknown. This plot holds the remains of the 777 people that could not be identified. It is a simple plot with unmarked headstones in several rows, at the head of that is a statue in memorial of the fallen of that day. There are many other headstones in the cemetery of people that lost their lives that day. People that were lucky enough to have been identified on that fateful day. Other memorials are located within as well, mostly to men and women that served in the military. This is a very peaceful place just to come. While here I saw many people walking the paths or jogging. It is quite the sprawling area.

She was one strong and independent woman who had the foresight to take care of her own cremation and burial needs. Hindman is a longtime run family business that has their own private crematory. The crematory is used only for the families they serve and they are the only area firm that can guarantee the integrity of the cremation process because your loved one never leaves their care . It's a very long story of how my mother died, but the funeral home staff was more than kind enough to issue me temporary death certificates, so that I could open the estate. We are still waiting for the autopsy results. I did have one problem with them but it could have been a mistake. My brother received a call from one of the staff members saying that the laws had changed since my mom had paid for her complete burial and the cemetery now required the urn to be placed in a vault before it was buried. When my brother Jimmy quoted me the prices of these vaults, I said give me the name and number and I will call him. I spoke with this person and he assured me that a vault was required before the urn could be buried. I asked him for the number of the cemetery, of which I called and they told me there was no such law. I called back this person and told him it will be like this; on Friday morning at 9:00 we will be present when my mothers remains are delivered to the cemetery for her burial. In a way it turned out to be a good thing, because my mom wanted no service or prior viewing, so we were able to do a little family service and burial. She did say that if we wanted a church memorial service, we could do that, of which we did. The funeral home is absolutely gorgeous, enough so that I may one day lie inside, as I do not want to be cremated! I will burn in hell as it is! Even though I live four hours away Hindman impressed me that much with their care.
