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.

Doug and Katie make themselves available to you literally anytime/any day. It's an amazing way to run a business. I cannot speak more highly of Bartlett Funeral Home. Since Dad was the first person we have lost in our family we had many questions and they were right there answering every one timely, with empathy and a solid answer.

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. Parking can be a nightmare there, I parked a few blocks away near a barber shop. I would recommend this place to everyone!! I was truly blown away by their service and empathy.

The day was cold and blustery and Captain Brad navigated the boat like the skilled captain he is. He had readings and songs planned in case we didn't have any. He had flowers on the boat so we could throw them in the water with the ashes.

But with the guidance and support of Captain Brad, it is now a beautiful tribute to my husband.
