The oldest of the…read moreold Cypress Cemetery is old, really, really old but nobody really knows exactly how old it is. When Lion Gardiner founded Old Saybrook back in 1635 it is recorded that he also laid out some land for a graveyard. Cypress Cemetery is very likely the place that ol' Lion started burying the dead. There are some very old gravestones in the cemetery but of course being right on the water and with the harsh winters, most of the oldest stones are now just nubs or impossible to read. I did see some from the early 1700s and other unreadable stones were without question much older. Most of the old gravestones were simple and very few really grandiose and elaborate ones are in this cemetery. Definitely some unique ones but overall quite modest. One of the fascinating things about this ancient graveyard is that it is still in use today, making it one of the very oldest cemeteries in continuous use in the country. Lion Gardiner started this graveyard many centuries ago and it is amazing that it still serves as a finally resting for the departed even today.

They also accommodated our request for additional memorabilia tables and did a fantastic job setting up the area for the visiting hours and service and with helping us locate a priest who fit our loved ones style. The military burial was arranged as requested and was quite meaningful to us. Everything went smoothly on the day of the celebration of life for our loved one which made a very difficult day much easier. Funerals are never cheap, but the costs were aligned with what we have seen for other funeral homes. Thank you again to the wonderful, compassionate staff.

Driven by this location many time was pretty surprised by the ease of getting in and getting out as the funeral was promptly after the business day concluded. There were ushers helping us park cars as it was a large gathering from in and out of state that was here to bid farewell to a friend and family. The lot was pretty tight yet served us well as I didn't have to fight for a spot and was heading inside. The staircase leading upstairs from the lot that I had parked was beautiful, though we all were dressed in black attire. Two different rooms for seating and the bigger room held the casket and visitors came to pay their respects. A decently sizes funeral home that some had to squeeze by others while there was still areas for groups to congregate. I imagine that a lot of thought and preparation was put into honoring this man and this funeral home did him justice. Cannot speak to the procession the day after to the cemetery as I couldn't attend but I imagine thar it was well organized and handle the business of the Elmwood West Hartford area.
