This is a very old Jewish cemetery and is in need of groundskeeping and maintenance.

I have several relatives buried here and have absolutely nothing bad to say about King David Memorial Park. In fact, I read these horrible reviews and find it difficult to relate it to the King David Memorial Park that I have been to several times over the past year. Most recently laying my mother to rest, Suzzanne Townsend has been absolutely fantastic in helping with the logistics and ensuring that I am in great hands. Thank you!! read more

A loved one recently passed away and she already owned a gravesite at King David next to her beloved husband. I googled the King David name to find the contact information. I was shocked that there is no website, but I did find the Yelp review. Needless to say, I freaked out upon seeing the negative reviews, but the gravesite was already there and the deceased wouldn't have been buried anywhere else. I am writing to let people know that our funeral experience was excellent. The two staff people in the office were friendly and helpful, and the two staff people at the gravesite were the same. Everyone was professional. The location is peaceful, you can hear road noise but it is hidden from the road. The bathroom is not fancy but functional. I'll update this once the headstone is installed to comment on that experience. read more

Horrible Company, awful treatment of families in grief. Do not trust anything that Suzanne Townsend promises you. She takes your money and doesn't do that she promises. read more

My sister Z"L passed away in 1968 at Philadelphia Children's Hospital, and was buried there, at which time my parents purchased 4 plots and perpetual care, etc... When she was buried, she was to be situated so that when my parents passed, they could each rest beside their beloved and cherished daughter, but she was buried in one of the outer plots. Thankfully, she has a headstone, although it looks like it's never been cleaned. Fast forward 40+ years to when my father passed away 12 years ago, and is buried there, and we arranged for a headstone thru the VA.... when my mother passed away 5 years ago we talked at length to an employee named Mr. Schutzbank asking 'why does my father STILL not have a headstone?' He gave us some answer deflecting responsibility to others within the cemetery's business structure. There are no surviving family members in the area, haven't been any since my sister passed, and as we all live far away now, we are not frequent visitors. I was in the area for a wedding recently and drove my family to the grave sites to pay our respects, and say kaddish, and what do we find? My sister's headstone in need of cleaning, and that's all... no headstone for either parent, no foot stone, not one thing to notate where their final resting places are. So for me, for my family, the King David Memorial Park, is a total disappointment and failure when it comes to burying family members with respect to providing an ever lasting memory. They have taken our money and provided nothing in return. We entrusted them with providing a physical, eternal, commemoration for our family, and all they've provided is neglect and disrespect for our family. They are shamefully corrupt in my opinion. read more

I called again today to speak to Suzanne Townsend . Who defended every issue I had with my mothers funeral - as described below. She also said there were no plans to replace the trees planted behind my parents bench. "the deer eat them and we can not find any deer resistant shrubs to put there" REALLY!!! There are no shrubs that are deer resistant?? I asked to speak to the owner John Livzey who was conveniently not available and she would not give me his email address. I told her "no surprise you won't give it to me" At this point I am going to make a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Affairs in Harrisburg. I would encourage all of you to do the same. I will not rest until something is done. If I have to research all the families buried in my parents area and reach out to them for their support - I will... read more

This cemetery has made no changes, even after many complaints from me and also other families. They have no regard for the families of those buried there as the grounds are an eyesore. Stones are crooked, some turned over and others full of dirt. There are trucks always parked in the entrance of the grounds along with other vehicles that must just park there. Clean this place up....PLEASE! read more

I can definitely feel for all of the people who have had horrible experiences with this park because even just as a visitor, I had an unpleasant encounter. Came here on a lark because I heard that someone mildly famous was buried here and wanted to pay respects. I used the photos on findagrave to pinpoint the location as I walked through the section. Not a single person anywhere near me as I looked. Found the grave in question, and as I was pulling a coin out of my pocket (Jewish tradition of leaving a coin or stone), this guy comes walking up out of nowhere rudely yelling at me about "no photos". I was simply holding my phone at the moment; what reason would I have to take a picture of a grave marker that is already been photographed by so many people and posted online? So basically he had been stalking me and then came at me with untoward rudeness. Not the sort of thing you expect in a place of reverence for the dead. I'm sure glad I don't have any family or friends buried here, and my sympathies go out to all who do. Not only because of the rudeness, but because just as the other reviews say, the place really is dumpy and not well-kept. read more

They do not respect people. They not doing their job. If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I recently had a very horrible experience with them. read more

Way too many people I love are buried here. A nice Jewish cemetery. That said, their customer service for surviving family members is almost nonexistent. I ordered and paid for my mother's footstone months ago and they still cannot give me a delivery date so we can schedule an unveiling. You'll be dead before someone from King David returns your call. But there are worse places to be buried I guess... read more

I never thought I would have to write a review of the cemetery where my grandparents, father, and husband are buried. But my experience with Suzanne at the main office is so terrible I need to say something. If I had known how difficult she was I would have buried my loved ones somewhere else. There are endless rules and fees. She never explains the whole process but drags out each step so it becomes another barrier to overcome. The simplest thing becomes a huge production. She made me cry today. I have shed enough tears of loss. I shouldn't have to cry more. Bury your family somewhere else. read more

Stay away from this place, even after you go through all the hurtles of placing your loved ones there. Once they are there, your monuments will be tossed around with an excuse of - another burial is taking place soon or the ground was soft etc. Be prepared to see your loved ones years to come with little to no grass at the burial site and like in our case with a missing / moved tombstone. Talking to Suzanne is useless, you might as well be listening to a monotone recording. Unbelievable , no respect or decency here .. read more

Like the first poster, 1 star is generous. Went to my cousin's funeral, when we got out of the limo, a man I thought was a grounds keeper who turned out to be the Owner came up and started yelling at my other cousin about something someone had done to the monument and all this crap. She was there to bury her sister and this complete awful person was yelling at her about something she didn't know anything about. Totally unprofessional, out of control and should not be interacting with the general public because he hasn't got any sense or sensitivity. Total jerk. They could have saved themselves this public humiliation if they had called and apologized to my cousin as I requested when I called to complain. read more

Don't have a whole lot of experience with cemetery issues since I have few family members but for the past eighteen years, this place is where those who did pass on have resided. The operators and staff have performed exemplary in all respects with regard to my family who have passed on and all other manner of business with me as a surviving party. The staff have treated me with kindness and care each time I needed their services, from actual professional action to mere questions. Also through the years our family plots and the surrounding infrastructure have always been maintained in a respectful and positive manner. Thank you for a job well done and for continued service. read more

My parents are buried at King David. The headstone was engraved incorrectly. My father is actually buried on the left side and my mother on the right. However, the stone shows my father buried on the right side and my mother on the left. When I spoke to Suzanne, one of the owners, that this was incorrect, she agreed to engrave the back of the stone correctly and reverse the stone, so that the engraving would be correct on the front as well as the back. Over a year later, the stone has only had the inscription engraved on the front, but not the back and the stone has not been reversed. I am very disappointed with the customer service. I have since read other unfavorable reviews about King David's service. I wouldn't even give this one star. read more
