Unfortunately, it is in a state of neglect and many of the historical tombs and stones have fallen to the ground or have been damaged. The Preservation Society has alerted the city about this and hopefully something will be done to bring this back to its former glory. Some of the history behind this historical cemetery, in 1834, the Grace Episcopal Church purchased more than four acres of land on the South side of Providence for use as a burial ground. By 1843, the site encompassed nine acres within the triangular-shaped, 8500+ plot cemetery at the intersection of Broad Street and Elmwood Avenue, the gateway to the south side of Providence. From its original inception, the cemetery was designed with great care and attention to detail. All of the burial plots were arranged symmetrically, in diamond-shaped sections separated by avenues named after trees. "Cemetery Square" occupies the center of the cemetery and is marked by a small, diamond-shaped area. Between 1859 and 1860, a house in the Gothic Carpenter style was built on the property to serve as a caretaker's lodge. This cemetery has great historical significance, as the backgrounds of many interred in the Grace Church Cemetery represent the growth and development of this section of the City of Providence. Various groups are represented, including mill workers, veterans of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, as well as World Wars I and II, political and church leaders, and representation from the Armenian community. An independent archivist has estimated that there are 256 veteran burials in Grace Church Cemetery.

They keep the grounds very clean here , and they don't just throw your precious decorations out immediately they allow your decorations to your loved ones to stay for a little bit. It's a little hard to navigate on your own for the first time , but if you go to the main office they will help you out give you a map or guide you. The chapels are beautiful ! I attended a burial here and it was very beautiful , they made a sad moment into something understanding and accepting. The family who runs this are very nice. The stones are very pretty and the upkeep makes me very happy. Cemetery's that are well kept are hard to find, but this one is one of them. There's a lot of water surrounding , if you do want to stay around and walk around ( I have numerous family members here. ) There's a church directly next to this site as well with its own lot, if you want to attend church.

A peaceful place…read more The Cedar Lane Cemetery was established in 1861 and was originally only one acre. But as people on the island insisted on dying, the non sectarian cemetery kept expanding until it's now almost ten acres It use to have a cool entrance on the west side but since the new highway was built the only way to really get into the graveyard is now from the south and Cedar Lane. The cemetery is very quiet and unassuming. Most of the memorials are small and modest, no huge obelisks or gigantic and ostentatious gravesites. Just very quiet reminders of who was here in days past.

It…read moreis a serene and beautifully maintained space that offers more than just a glimpse into Fall River's past. The grounds are in excellent condition, with winding paths, mature trees, and a quiet dignity that makes it easy to linger. The primary attraction for many tourists is Lizzie Borden's tomb, which is surprisingly simple to locate. Proceed directly down the central road from the main entrance on Prospect Street. A fork will appear after 200 yards or so; bear left and keep going until you come to a little rotary. Just off the road to the right is the Borden family plot; park close by and stroll toward it. Lizzie's stone is plain and level, bearing only her name: "Lizzie." Her parents and sister Emma are among the many Bordens buried there, and it's part of a wider family cluster. The cemetery itself is quiet. Historic without being overgrown. Solemn without feeling oppressive. The kind of place where memory feels tangible, especially when you're standing among the names that shaped one of America's most enduring mysteries. Oak Grove is worth the visit, regardless of your interest in real crime or your general admiration for well-maintained cemeteries. [Review 1090 of 2025 - 1240 in Massachusetts - 24644 overall]

I went to Rhode Island from Virginia to gain some closure on my Nana's passing many years ago. I have always dreaded going to cemeteries for the obvious reasons and truly haven't been to very many during my lifetime. . I called a week or so before going to get the information on where my Nana was buried. Like I said, my time in a cemtery has been limited and I wasn't sure where to find her. The gentleman on the phone,I believe Tom was his name, was very helpful and understanding. He was pleasant to speak with and informative. Once I arrived, I was very surprised. Gate of Heaven is absolutely beautiful. Even in March, the grounds were lush and green. The trees were mature and the flowers were gorgeous. There were workers planting new flowers but never once came close to me in my grieving process. They made eye contact, smiled and gave a nod. It was heart warming that they were making this place so beautiful and respected and acknowledged my coming to visit. I couldn't ask for a more peacful place for my Nana to be laid to rest. Thank you Gate of Heaven for taking care of her when I cannot.

However, there are some things that you would want or expect when visiting a cemetery. The plots at Westfield are split into two areas, the "old", which is very old, and the new. The two plots are directly across from each other but split by a road. There is an office but it looked very old and perhaps may not be in current use. Presumably because this is in a very small town, there also isn't an electronic directly to search for plots. So, how to find a grave you haven't visited in ages? Old school and walk around until you find it. Luckily, there was an older gentleman from town who is somewhat the de facto cemetery hobbies and town historian, who was there that day. He graciously showed me the several tombstones that had my family name on them, which is one of the more common names in the US. Thank goodness he was there that day. The cemetery is well tended.
