This is the final resting place for the founder of Gaffney, S.C. Michael Gaffney and his immediate…read morefamily. This is a lovely spot to remember the man who started this city. A lot of the inscriptions on the headstones are badly worn and difficult to read. There's a couple of benches on site to relax on and contemplate things. Not many people visit here but occasionally a few do. Michael Gaffney was born in Ireland in 1775 and died here September 6, 1854. He was 78 years old at the time of his demise.

Not my favorite Yelp business to review but anyways; here goes. Firstly, I dislike anything that…read moreconcerns funeral homes or cemeteries. That is until I need them. This one offers traditional burying and cremation. They are flexible and will cater to any specific requests that a family In morning may require. This funeral home will answer your calls 24/7 . This is a local hometown business a d I recommend them!

I would prefer to never be a customer here. Unfortunately, I have been one fairly recently. I lost…read moreparents and a twin brother in a pretty close time frame. I purchased some stone memorials in their remembrance from this business. I found the owner to be a kind and compassionate person willing to listen me. He had a well diversified selection to choose from. Just completely beautiful pieces ( if there is such a thing like this) inscribed to my directions. It was nice to do business with someone who was patient and not just after a quick sale. In your time of need; I recommend this place.

I had to go back to Blakely Funeral Home at 1:00 pm. The funeral service for my late brother in law…read morewas today. Two days in a row at a place I don't particularly care for is a bit nerve wracking. The service itself ( like the perfectly orchestrated visitation yesterday ) was likewise executed to perfection! Each staff member of this place knew their part by heart and it was amazing. A truly gifted pastor named Reverend Tommy Wright delivered the main message. Another lay person also gave an uplifting speech and provided Holy Scripture as his reference. Blakely Funeral Home performed beyond excellent! Of course I highly recommend them in your time of need.

My father passed recently and Blakely Funeral Home cared for all the arrangements. Ashby, the…read moredirector/co-owner, took care of everything and it was beautiful. Everything was orchestrated perfectly from the visitation, to the service to the graveside ceremony and military send-off. I've sadly attended a number of funerals but this ceremony was, by far, the most memorable and flawlessly executed. Ashby is also an accomplished singer as was demonstrated with him singing "Give Me Jesus". Super job. Joel and Linda Buice; Elmira, New York.

This cemetery was my second stop today. This one is way out in the boondocks! It was surprising to…read moresee a beautiful new church building here. The cemetery itself is located across the road from the sanctuary. There are four hundred seventy nine documented memorials. I specifically came to this place today in search of a friend that I knew many years ago. Unfortunately, I didn't locate his tombstone. There's many gravesites here and they cover the normal spectrum of what you'd likely find in any graveyard. The very old, the not so old, young folks and infants. There were also quite a few veteran tombstones. The church has done an excellent job in maintaining this final resting place.

It's somewhat of a rarity around here. A Confederate solider who survived the war and came home to continue his life. At various cemeteries I've seen a lot of Confederate soldiers killed in action! A surprisingly large number in fact. This final resting place is in immaculate condition and is a nice tribute to those whose final resting place is here.

Along side of him is his interned wife. There are 228 documented memorials here. The cemetery was in excellent condition and it was obvious that this church is involved with its care. I didn't see any really old tombstones but I'm sure they are there as this is an old cemetery.
