Originally the unincorporated township of Gaffney, S.C. purchased (in 1850) six acres of land for…read morethe purpose of a public cemetery. By 1872 it had expanded to its present size of forty eight acres. I stopped by here this morning to visit the gravesites of my father's side of the family. I had the opportunity to inspect each one to ensure that all's in order. Some of my relatives have been passed a long time ago. Many have been deceased before my time and I never knew them. It was nice to visit my parents and twin brothers place of interment. So many fond memories! This entire cemetery is maintained by the City of Gaffney, S.C. and they are doing a great job!

I had to go back to Blakely Funeral Home at 1:00 pm. The funeral service for my late brother in law…read morewas today. Two days in a row at a place I don't particularly care for is a bit nerve wracking. The service itself ( like the perfectly orchestrated visitation yesterday ) was likewise executed to perfection! Each staff member of this place knew their part by heart and it was amazing. A truly gifted pastor named Reverend Tommy Wright delivered the main message. Another lay person also gave an uplifting speech and provided Holy Scripture as his reference. Blakely Funeral Home performed beyond excellent! Of course I highly recommend them in your time of need.

My father passed recently and Blakely Funeral Home cared for all the arrangements. Ashby, the…read moredirector/co-owner, took care of everything and it was beautiful. Everything was orchestrated perfectly from the visitation, to the service to the graveside ceremony and military send-off. I've sadly attended a number of funerals but this ceremony was, by far, the most memorable and flawlessly executed. Ashby is also an accomplished singer as was demonstrated with him singing "Give Me Jesus". Super job. Joel and Linda Buice; Elmira, New York.

I would prefer to never be a customer here. Unfortunately, I have been one fairly recently. I lost…read moreparents and a twin brother in a pretty close time frame. I purchased some stone memorials in their remembrance from this business. I found the owner to be a kind and compassionate person willing to listen me. He had a well diversified selection to choose from. Just completely beautiful pieces ( if there is such a thing like this) inscribed to my directions. It was nice to do business with someone who was patient and not just after a quick sale. In your time of need; I recommend this place.

This is the final resting place for the founder of Gaffney, S.C. Michael Gaffney and his immediate…read morefamily. This is a lovely spot to remember the man who started this city. A lot of the inscriptions on the headstones are badly worn and difficult to read. There's a couple of benches on site to relax on and contemplate things. Not many people visit here but occasionally a few do. Michael Gaffney was born in Ireland in 1775 and died here September 6, 1854. He was 78 years old at the time of his demise.

I didn't see that many at all. This place is located in a quiet country section of Cherokee County, S.C. Additionally, I didn't see any older graves; mostly newer ones.

Not my favorite Yelp business to review but anyways; here goes. Firstly, I dislike anything that…read moreconcerns funeral homes or cemeteries. That is until I need them. This one offers traditional burying and cremation. They are flexible and will cater to any specific requests that a family In morning may require. This funeral home will answer your calls 24/7 . This is a local hometown business a d I recommend them!

I passed this cemetery on my way to town this morning and decided to stop and pay my respects. I…read moretook some pictures and hope you like them. One in particular caught my eye. It's somewhat of a rarity around here. A Confederate solider who survived the war and came home to continue his life. At various cemeteries I've seen a lot of Confederate soldiers killed in action! A surprisingly large number in fact. This final resting place is in immaculate condition and is a nice tribute to those whose final resting place is here.

This was the first stop on my little Yelp tour today. I was specifically in search of the gravesite…read moreof an old coworker and friend. I actually found it without much effort. Along side of him is his interned wife. There are 228 documented memorials here. The cemetery was in excellent condition and it was obvious that this church is involved with its care. I didn't see any really old tombstones but I'm sure they are there as this is an old cemetery.
