The poor review speaks to the overall neglect of the cemetery and lack of allocated resources to maintain it. The two guys that work there are very nice and do their best but 2 people, no budget to maintain the cemetery and 35 acres, it is amazing the cemetery is not in worse shape! It is the only cemetery I know of where people have to bring their own weed wackers and mowers to maintain the area around their loved ones plot. Otherwise, the wild grass is about mid calf until the 2 guys working there are able to get to it. I have had to lay down multiple bags of top soil and grass that the Canadian geese ate up (not the fault of the cemetery). For anyone that died from 2010 forward, no grass has been put down but rather nature puts down cloves and crab grass so you can see the outlines of where the hole was dug for the coffin.. A depressing sight if you have a loved one buried there. For a middle class to upper class town, the cemetery looks like a pauper's cemetery. There are very few trees or plantings here; it is designed to simply minimize upkeep. As a lifelong Hanover resident, it is baffling why no tax money is allocated toward making the cemetery look nice, especially given the fact that it is so high profile in the center of Hanover. read more
