Graves of those who served in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, both World Wars, the Civil War, all have a peaceful resting place. It's a beautiful, reverent place. It's the final resting place of Falmouth-born poet Katherine Lee Bates who penned "America the Beautiful." A beautiful cemetery indeed. Fitting.

Songs and angels…read more The Oak Grove Cemetery was founded in 1849 but has graves that have been relocated from other, smaller graveyards that are much older. Lots of Revolutionary and War of 1812 veterans are buried here as well as many affluent Falmouth residents. In total there are probably over 3,000 residents including Katharine Lee Bates who wrote the famous America the Beautiful. The cemetery was enlarged many times through the years and is now over 22 acres. Most of the memorials are simple with few obelisks or huge and massive gravestones. Some are old and worn while others are fresh and new. Some unique and creative memorials including lighthouses, little fairies and probably the sexy angel I have ever seen. A very cool old graveyard that offers a variety of different memorials and gravestones in a very bucolic and peaceful setting.

On our way to tour the house, we stopped here first to pay our respects at Oak Grove Cemetery. 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]

A lovely old…read morecemetery The Hillside Cemetery is located on an inlet of the Sakonnet River in the quaint old town of Tiverton, Rhode Island. A lovely place for a walk with distant views of the river and some nice rolling hills. The cemetery is quite huge with both new and very old parts. The oldest graves date back to the 18th century and of course there are others that look older but are now impossible to read. Lots of very cool and unique memorials and gravestones complete with unusual and archaic names and symbols. Some of the stones still look new and fresh while the softer stones are sometimes broken and worn down to virtually nothing. Hillside is a lovely old cemetery in a lovely old town. Many old graveyards have a spooky and morbid feel to them but not this one. I wouldn't exactly call it cheerful but it is a beautiful and historic area and a very nice place for a very peaceful stroll.

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. If there were more than five stars, I would give more than five stars. Big thank you to Doug and Katie for helping us with such a difficult time in our lives.

But it's these little things that truly make the difference between you surviving the death of a loved one or going down an awful downwards spiral. When dad died the hospital gave us the contact info to Auclairs. Right there is a mistake- the hospitals should hand out a list to choose from and not endorse one funeral home or another. I called Auclairs at first but was made to feel like a bother, a number, a nuisance in fact. I immediately decided to look elsewhere and came across Boule Funeral Home. Owners Tom and Wendy bent over backwards to help me and my handicapped mother. They helped us to save every penny possible and they clearly were not looking to take financial advantage of a grieving family, something I've always feared. We're not wealthy and they made sure we weren't given options that only wealthy families could afford. Tom and Wendy are compassionate, available, connected, and have kind hearts. At one point I had asked to sit with dad before the funeral. I was welcomed to sit there and hold his hand, tears overflowing, until I had all the closure that I needed to move forward- As a nurse, I often get approached by folks who tell me that I have changed their lives in one way or another- that's how I felt with Boule. It's often the little things that truly make the difference between you surviving the death of a loved one or going down an awful downwards spiral. Tom and Wendy made sure that ALL things were attended to when we were barely able to attend to ourselves. NEVER EVER CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AREA. Thank you Boule Funeral Home Mike Kimball

If someone is looking for a review of funeral homes, likely this is not a great time in their…read morelives. Normally, I would not think to review, however after having recently had 2 funerals in 2 years at Boule's I feel the need to leave some feedback. Tom is an absolutely astounding human being. In 2017, my family lost my 16 year old sister to health complications. The loss was sudden and left us in an extremely hard place financially, emotionally and mentally. A friend of ours drove my mom to Boule's to speak with Tom. Upon hearing the story of my sister's life and how dedicated my mother was to her, Tom decided to be patient and work out whatever he could to help us give her the services she deserved without feeling pressured to think about the money right away. He was just absolutely kind, I have no words to describe it. More recently, two weeks ago, I lost a childhood best friend. His mom decided to go with Boule. Again, I saw Tom and he remembered my family despite it being two years. He asked questions and was genuinely interested in knowing how we were doing. He and his team did an amazing job with giving my friend one last send off. He even allowed us closer friends to stay an extra 30 minutes because he knew we were having a rough time. My friend was 28, we're all a bunch of "kids" who didn't expect this so suddenly. Again, Tom understanding as always was patient and kind with us and the family. *****Overall, I highly recommend going with this home. These people genuinely care for you, your family and your feelings. They aren't after the money.

Stones and walls…read more Nathan Slade is an old graveyard that was founded around 1817. It contains over 500 graves and is still accepting new customers today. The Cemetery has a whole lot of people named Slade and the name is especially prominent on the older stones. The name Slade seems far less common as the memorials get newer. The cemetery has mostly simple stones, no huge and massive crypts or imposing obelisks. It does have a few unique and interesting ones but nothing really elaborate. Since many of the early burials were Quakers, this certainly isn't surprising. A simple and functional cemetery with a lovely and very old stone wall around it and many mature trees scattered throughout the area. A quiet and peaceful place to spend eternity.

And this cemetery is maintained by very nice people. Everyone who works here that I have encountered or even watched I noticed how gentle and caring they are with the grounds. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember and I always remember just how clean everything always ways. I believe in order to bury your family member here they have to be Catholic, just something to keep in mind. Consider this cemetery for any passing family members. I know this is such a tough topic, and it was a little hard for me to write, but I know it will be worth it for others.
