Hyannis Ancient Cemetery lives up to its name. On the Day of the Dead, it is a sobering reminder of…read moremortality. It's on a main thoroughfare in Hyannis, among businesses, restaurants, apartments. Many of the gravestones are from the early 18th century, some have worn away to ancient rocks. Even in the sunlight, it gives off an eerie aura. Many of the graves are now anonymous due to the ravages of time and weather. It's been restored somewhat, it has a new sign. It could use some more upkeep. It looks forgotten, tho Hyannis' South Street is a main drag. It is a somber, sober place to remember those who have passed. A piece of history in busy downtown Hyannis.

Old and worn…read more The Ancient Hyannis Cemetery also goes by the names, South Street Cemetery, Paupers Cemetery or just The Old Cemetery. Makes it a bit confusing but whatever you call it the ancient graveyard is definitely old. Really, really old. The type of place that is spooky as hell, not because of ghosts or any phantasmagoric imagery, but because this place literally looks old, smells old and most of all feels old. It was wet and foggy when we went and I can't imagine the sun every shining here. The late Oct weather made things even more morose but I suspect it's not exactly a cheery place even in may. Many of gravestones are very worn, just down to just nubs or covered in various forms of lichen. I did manage to make out some from the mid 1700s but just barely. The stones are mostly very soft sandstone and didn't hold up well to the brutal weather. In fact most of the people buried here didn't have any headstones or memorials at all. Simply buried in the cold dirt. A very cool and very old and simple graveyard that is a vivid reminder of how things use to be.

Our local one came in with the cheapest cremation costs. A friend recommended Casper and it was almost half the cost from what our family funeral home quoted us. That was with a discount as well! I called Casper about 2 months beforehand and they were very detailed and provided all the info that was needed. I had multiple phone calls with them and they were able to assist me even though I was in California. I mostly spoke with Jake and Colton during this process. When I arrived Saturday was the only day I could go down and we had a snowstorm the day prior. Roads were pretty bad and they were able to accommodate me even though they had a service going on.

He had flowers on the boat so we could throw them in the water with the ashes.

Hamel did their due diligence by driving out to the cemetery and our funeral route in preparation for the day of the funeral. Lola also dealt with the cemetery and the florist on behalf of our family. At the funeral, Lola explained both in Chinese and English for our visitors the particulars of the day.

Our family lives in Newton and made a hasty decision regarding a different local funeral home as our grandmother passed in the middle of the night. This other funeral home we chose did not have any guidance to offer regarding transportation of cremains to China and so we called Hamel Lydon.

This process is never easy but it was a relief to speak with someone who was well versed and willing to help.
