However, what they failed to tell us is that they have three different cemeteries. we went crazy looking for block 54 at the main building (there're two on the left side). I suggest to mark as A, B, and C entrances and add more signage on Texas Rd so we don't bother the rude and unfriendly lady at the office- We felt unwelcomed when asked for better directions. we found one of the guys working the grounds- he gave us better directions. He was actually very nice and friendly! They need to do better when hiring. Finally, i found my poor friend- buried where there's no grass- it looked like a dirt road- marked by a flag, no flowers or headstone. :'(

As a dirt-poor college student back in the 80s, I was grateful to the late Msgr Everett for hiring me to work part time during the school year and full time during the summer and winter breaks as a grounds keeper. I am somewhat proud of the fact (but not too prideful I hope!) that I helped clear the entire AA section of grounds one summer (taking it from scrub/brush to landscape) using an axe and a chainsaw. You might say we did it "responsibly " even before that word entered the lexicon of modern colloquialism. Old growth trees and younger beautiful trees were kept, giving the area a shady, green forest ambiance. Today the cemetery has grown with the addition of a Mausoleum and several more sections. There is much history in this place of repose as many of the early graves date from the 1850s-1900s. If you are in search of a consecrated grounds, this is one of the finest most beautiful and peaceful Catholic cemeteries I've ever known. Thank you for reading my review.

My sister contacted the Cemetery to have Christmas wreaths placed at the grave of our parents and another one at our nephews grave also located at Holy Cross Cemetery. On Saturday 12/23/23 my sister and her daughter when to the cemetery. When they got to the grave of our parents the wreath was place on the decaying flowers that were never cleaned up since my mother was laid to rest two months ago. When they went to the grave of our nephew there was no wreath. The cost to have the cemetery place a wreath is $55.00 / wreath. My sister emailed the cemetery because the office on the cemetery grounds was closed on Saturday 12/23/23. Naturally, there was no response on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day but, you would expect a response on Tuesday 12/26/23. The Cemetery never responded. My sister call the Cemetery and a woman answered. My sister explained that the wreath placed at our parents grave was laid on top of dead flowers. She told my sister that they only clean twice a year and because my mother passed at the end of October the next cleaning is May. She also explained to my sister that the family should clean the dead flowers between cemetery cleanups. Then my sister explained that there was no wreath placed at our nephews grave. My sister was told that that was an oversight and they would refund $55.00. My questions: 1- If no one went to the Cemetery how would you know that the wreath you paid for wasn't provided? 2- If the family is responsible to clean up the grave sites between cemetery biannual cleanups, what's stopping me from raking the debris off my loved ones grave an onto someone else's grave? What's stopping me from placing the debris in a bag and taking it to the cemetery management office so they can store the debris until they do their biannual cleanup? 3- Why does the cemetery police have time to remove items from grave sites that they feel aren't appropriate? The cemetery police have time to remove Items like ballon's, teddy bear, etc. from grave sites but, they don't have time to clean dead flowers? I included a picture of the $55,00 wreath that the cemetery placed at our parents grave just so you can see what Holy Cross Cemetery feels is acceptable.

The funerals were nice. But I didn't feel any grief. Their house in East Brunswick was sold. Maybe demolished. These people are gone from the Earth without a trace. I'll let you in on a secret: I fear death, and the deaths of those I love. Death is the ultimate tragedy... a life of suffering is tough, but in most cases we can make things better. Death you can't fix. I won't romanticize death or martyrdom and drape them in metaphor. Death is real, it's brutal, it's tragic. You should be sad -- you should be afraid.
