    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.

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.

Lola and her team were exceptional with the Chinese details. Our loved one was living in Quincy, but her roots were in Brighton. We appreciate that Lola and Hamel were able to secure the use of a Newton/Brighton funeral home. This venue allowed elderly friends to pay respects locally. Lola and her team had every detail covered. The amenities and services provided to our loved one and our visitors made the experience exceptional at this time of sorrow. Chinese snacks and refreshments were provided for the day. The car service and police detail were excellent. 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. We were extremely pleased with Hamel and would highly recommend them, but especially their Asian services.

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. Though we did not conduct funeral services or cremation through them, they were extremely kind and helpful regarding next steps for our family and even reached out to this other funeral home to help coordinate. This process is never easy but it was a relief to speak with someone who was well versed and willing to help.
