My sister passed away late in 2019, just before the COVID outbreak. I placed her at the Mountain Grove Cemetery in Bridgeport after checking here and finding they charged significantly more for the same kind of interment. I mean a triple-digit percentage more. Recently I have seen prices on Willowbrook's website very close to what I paid at MGC, indicating that perhaps my inquiry was an indication to them they were being outpriced by other local cemeteries. I don't know if I would have placed my sister here had they cut their prices sooner, but it is possible. Willowbrook isn't as majestic as MGC--that was designed by P.T. Barnum no less--but it's pleasant and serene, and closer to what was home. I continue to find new recognizable names every time I visit.

Upon entering you feel like you are being welcomed by a country park. The entrance is beautiful and decorated with vibrant flowers. My amazing and loving uncle was taken much to early from us two plus years ago. We were visiting our beloved Aunt and all visited Uncle Rino to show our respect, share a few stories and tell him how much we missed him. The Cemetery grounds were immaculate and beautiful. While we were showing our respects staff approached us with water for the flowers and tidied up the resting site. Honestly the site was in perfect condition. Then the most touching experience was when one of the grounds worker said God Bless you and your family. We all were moved beyond words that they took time to come over and greet us. Outstanding. 100% asset to your Cemetery business. Thank you for being thoughtful you!! If I wasn't going to be cremated this is where I'd want to rest. I highly recommend!

When I walked in to ask a question there was a man on his phone talking loudly and the woman in charge told him to take that somewhere else because this is a safe space.

I mentioned that to her and she immediately knew what I was talking about and said that it had been repaired when the new staff arrived, and that they did their best but if I was still unhappy they would help me with a replacement headstone since it had been the cemetery's fault knocking it down. It's a little crooked- but it's fine. She was surprised that nobody had called me when they fixed it and apologized for that. I could've just not answered a number not in my contacts so that was likely my error. Things can improve- but this drastically is a rarity in this world.

There are also a lot of Beardsleys here, a family that has been prominent in the history of Bridgeport. Old-style large monuments abound. The area around the mausoleum is well kept, and there is a fountain in the center of the area. There is actually a family crypt for "Fountain" right by the fountain. I thought the Fountain Family might have donated it, but it turns out that is just a coincidence. The person I talked to in the office said he wasn't aware of it and that he had never heard anyone else mention it, but it is right there just above the fountain as you look at it from the front: "FOUNTAIN" on the largest crypt. The cemetery is old and heavily wooded, and Ash Creek runs along the western and southern borders. One of the most important consumer considerations is of course price. I can tell you that compared to Willowbrook Cemetery in Westport, where our parents are laid to rest, this quite beautiful and pleasant cemetery is less than 1/3 the price. My parents provided for their own interment and I could not afford to place my sister there, but I am glad to come see her where she is. Have to give it to MGC for being an excellent value. And the fountain area is a very soothing peaceful place, comparable to being on the "Willow Brook" that my parents' tomb is blessedly right beside.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not…read moresleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow,... (By Mary Elizabeth Frye) This place is beautiful! I just love cemeteries and when I travel will often stop at historical cemetery sites; I find them very interesting and often beautiful. At the very least, they are holy sites to me; places where we memorialize our loved ones. My visit to Mountain Grove Cemetery was to visit the monuments of two famous gentlemen. Specifically, P.T. Barnum and General Tom Thumb (born Charles Stratton). P.T. Barnum, born in Bethel, CT, was an entrepreneur from an early age and by the age of 21 had his own general store and a newspaper. In his 50's he was elected to the CT General Assembly (Republican), then Mayor of Bridgeport, CT, then back to the General Assembly. We all know about his other, endeavors in the entertainment field. Charles Stratton was born in Bridgeport, CT in 1838. In 1842 P.T. sought out four year old Charles Stratton, who was at the time fifteen pounds and twenty five inches tall. He 'hired' Charles at three dollars a week (paid to his parents) to 'see how it went' and little Charles was such a hit, his salary was raised to $50 a week, performing at the Hall of Living Curiosities in NYC, a museum owned by P.T. Barnum. Both gentlemen have large monuments, quite close to each other in this cemetery, which incidentally, was founded in 1849, by P.T. Barnum (and associates). Their website offers a bit of information on 'notable' persons who have chosen to trust the association with their final place of rest. We entered at the 'main' gate (there are at least a couple) and drove straight back, taking no turn, into sections 8 (on the right) and 9 (on the left). I posted a photo w/the small metal signs attached to trees on either side of the road indicating you have reached your destination. P.T. Barnum is just a short way down on the left (section 9) in an area outlined by a concrete curb with many headstones surrounding quite a large obelisk. Just up the road a short distance, and on the right (section 8) you will find a tall, thin obelisk with a life sized likeness of Charles Stratton at the top. As you drive through the cemetery, you will see many monuments and tombs dating from the 1800's through more recent history, that are note worthy in their beauty and artistic craftsmanship. This cemetery is a soothing location, appropriate for memorializing our departed loved ones with water on either side of the property, beautiful monuments, large trees, sweeping lawns. It would make for a lovely walk in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature and loving memories. My GPS took us out of the property by way of a different gate. I recommend you chose to leave by the main gate (if this is allowed of course) as the gate we were directed to was at a 5 way intersection with four way traffic lights. This lead us to have to figure out when was the best time, between light cycles, to scurry out of the gate. As this is a very busy intersection it was not easy to make it out alive. (Intentional perhaps?) If you are looking for a family plot, a mausoleum crypt or a niche for your urn, Mountain Grove Cemetery has offerings available. Check out their website and give them a call.

Mary, in the office, and Felix, cemetery supervisor, are delightful. They are very accommodating and make it as easy as possible to do business with them. The cemetery is beautifully maintained and manicured. As you enter the cemetery there is a historic stone church. To the right of the church is a bulletin board with contact names and numbers for cemetery personnel plus a price listing. To the right of the church is a columbarium with marble benches that is very serene. It is topped by a beautiful bronze statue of a lady holding flowers. Around the top of the columbarium is the engraving "Do not weep for me. I am not gone. My soul is in a better place." Past the columbarium is a section dedicated to veteran burials. During major patriotic holidays flags are placed on each veteran's grave and during Christmas season Wreaths Across America places a wreath on each one. It's a very moving and sobering sight to see all the flags and wreaths. Past the office there's a section of half plots for interring cremated remains.
