A very large…read moregraveyard Harmony Grove is a very large and cool cemetery. Opened it 1840, it is built on very uneven terrain and has some steep hills, great old trees and lots and lots of different types of gravestones and memorials. I'm not sure how many acres the cemetery has but it certainly is vast. A cool Gothic revival chapel built in 1905 is at the entrance and then the small roads just sort of meander over the hills and through the trees. Lot of huge, medium and small sized monuments. Some quite modest and others very impressive and not doubt expensive. Some famous people that I never heard of are buried here as well as a whole lot of not so famous and ordinary folks. Some obelisks, morbid looking angels, a Civil War monument and even a couple of old cannon are scattered about. Some of the gravestones are literally hanging on the edge of small cliffs. One of the very coolest and most interesting graveyards I have been to. You can quite literally spend hours walking around here. A cemetery that is a fascinating place to visit even if you don't know any of the residents.

My wife passed away from a long fight with cancer in July 2025.  I was devastated.  But I found the…read moreperfect place to honor and celebrate her - at O'Donnell's.  I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but O'Donnell's made it a reality and helped to fill in all of the important details to help her soul shine (she never needed any help with that in life). She touched so many people's lives and I knew we needed to find a special place - beautiful, open, intimate - befitting her spirit, but also large enough to accommodate the hundreds of people who would come to celebrate her life.   The facility was more like a beautiful event space than a dreary funeral home - it was warm and bright with lots of open windows - it just has a different vibe...   With their help, we planned a celebration of life that allowed us all (our family, friends & co-workers) to honor and remember Marissa the way she wanted.   They helped with the digital tribute and even did a second extremely personalized video tribute that we shared during her service.   They presented many options and choices but never forced us into anything and they were great listeners in helping us create the type of memorial that was just what we needed.   There were plenty of staff there to assist, we never worried about a thing. They let us focus on our friends and family as all the details were taken care of.   After the service they have been reaching out to check on me and help with all the people to notify. No one ever wants to do this - but Anthony and the team treated me like we're family.   They were professional but not stuffy... helpful but not bothersome.  They followed up but just enough... I want to especially thank Anthony O'Donnell, Brianna, and Diane for their compassion, kindness, and attention to detail.  I highly recommend O'Donnell's if you experience a loss like my own.

St. Mary's Cemetery is another cemetery in Salem. It's in close proximity to Greenlawn Cemetery…read more(within walking distance). St Mary's looks newer and has a more traditional cemetery layout. The landscape is mostly flat. Most of the trees seem to be gathered towards the back of the cemetery. I wouldn't really recommend taking a stroll through St. Mary's as it is not too scenic. Additionally, the cemetery lacks any pedestrian walkways. If you're like me and prefer older cemeteries that more closely resemble parks, I'd look into exploring other cemeteries in the area.

All that foliage makes for a lovely walk through Greenlawn Cemetery in the fall. Second, there's a pond and fountain on-site that looks like it would be oh so enticing to sit by and read a book during the summer. And last but not least, there's some really cool headstones to browse. During my quick walk through in the winter, the cemetery was relatively empty with maybe only 2 other people. Greenlawn Cemetery is right next to St. Mary's cemetery, but is infinitely more scenic. YELP'S 2020 REVIEW CHALLENGE: #20
