About half of my relatives were laid to rest here, so I've been coming to this cemetery my entire life. It's nearby a golf course so sometimes you'll hear noise but for the most part, it's usually quiet and somber.
You don't normally run into people coming here any more most likely because there aren't really new plots, just ones that people have reserved for family members. A ton of old tombstones stand here and it's interesting to walk around, paying respect while you look for your own family member's graves. I know the general direction of where my grandparents, great aunts, great uncles, cousins, and so on are buried but there's no real method to finding out where they are and you often times have to walk over graves to get there (which I find a bit uncomfortable but maybe its my surreptitiousness talking).
Lastly, they leave flowers and gifts out for a long time before clearing the graves, which is good. read more
