I've buried both of my parents at Sts P&P over the last two years and have found great comfort in the service provided. The grace and dignity of the cemetery and overall facility is worth the price. Some have commented that they don't like the people who are allowed to take early morning walks through the cemetery but I believe the people tend to be very respectful and go out of their way to help keep the cemetery neat, clean, and safe. read more

Trash all over. American flags by the dozens laying on the ground. The metal markers the flags go in are bent up because they were driven over. I picked up 23 flags just in one section. Grass and dirt on top of grave stones. Put there again by those working there. They never care about those around the new site they are preparing. Consecrated grounds you treat like trash. Sad group that works there. You charge plenty to bury our people then disrespect them. This has been ongoing. You were told about this in the past but never corrected it. Pls go work for a trash company. read more

Impeccable grounds & personable staff, they took a personal interest in helping me to find the resting place of my Aunt, Uncle, & cousin on this first visit to the cemetery. read more

Pretty cemetery with interesting markers dating back to 1881. Many extended families are resting here.

Not even deserving of one star! A once peaceful and pristine cemetery is now, in my opinion, an absolute disgrace. Since the Archdiocese sold or sublet the cemetery the decline has be swift and undeniable. As with many, generations of my family are buried here. I know it's just a cemetery, but I find it absolutely heartbreaking. The once gleaming black front gate is now rusty and falling down in places. The grounds are in complete shambles with sunken grave sites everywhere making it extremely dangerous to navigate. My brother was buried there last year; to say I was shocked at the appalling conditions then would be an understatement. Fast forward, I was there yesterday for a funeral, and the conditions are even more deplorable. To the company who owns or sublets the cemetery now, DO BETTER! BASED ON THE OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU CHARGE FOR SIMPLE OPENING UP A GRAVE, IT SHOULD NOT LOOK THIS WAY. TO THE ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. read more

Our service representative, Victor, was compassionate, professional and kind and all this was evident from the moment we walked into his office. The respect and dignity and time spent with us provided us with a great sense of comfort and reassurance during a very challenging time in our lives. Colleen read more

Excellent customer service when trying to locate my grandparents grave. One of the contractors even took me to the plot. The cemetery is both beautiful & well maintained. read more

I buried my 33 year old son there who died suddenly and they found me a plot right next to my sisters. His stone sunk a bit and when I told them about it they took care of it. My whole family is buried there. I absolutely love the candle light ceremony they have once a year in honor of our loved ones. I would not want to be buried anywhere else! Thank you read more

The management at St Peter and Paul Cemetery feel that the cemetery is a "Park " and therefore they welcome people to treat it as such. This is not limited to humans. People are allowed to walk their dogs throughout the cemetery including over graves. The disrespect of these dog owners is appalling, leaving behind evidence of their walk thru the"park". My family deserves better! Imagine how i felt when the "evidence " is not only on the grass on the way to our plot, but on our grave! And the management does nothing. I wonder how they would feel if it was their family, or if they had to dodge the "mess" on the way into their offices. read more

All That you are reading about the going's on at St. Peiter and Paul's cemetery is part of the reason people are losing faith in the Catholic religion! People bought their graves in good faith before we were sold out to these people running it. We are now stuck there and are being bleed to death (No Punt intended), to utilize our graves! and the arch dioecies washed their hands of it all ! Is this what God meant the Catholic religion to be? I do not believe My God did! they are selling things that were sold by the undertaker ,taking bread from their mouths! This is a disgrace! Along with other dishonest things going on in the Catholic church ! It is enough to make you want to change your religion. I am 86 years old and have been a Catholic all my life, but I am not sure for how long I will remain a catholic! The Philadelphia Arch dioecies needs to look into all this, before there are no Catholics remaining! read more

The weeds in some of the sections are terrible. We were told they can't bring new dirt in because it has to be consecrated and it's up to the archdiocese. It's so disrespectful. And as for Holy Cross Cemetery which we were told runs SS Peter and Paul also ... Deplorable conditions in some of the sections. The flooding is terrible and the people who work there seem to have no interest in solutions. When asked if they had a landscape engineer evaluate the problem they said they did and nothing could be done. I find that hard to believe. What is the maintenance like? Are the drains regularly cleared and replaced? Are there pumps? We were told "you can't change the earth" by Kevin I believe his name was. We were also told by another employee that it would cost too much money to fix. Check out the photos for yourselves. read more

I have all of my family buried here as well as my plot.. this place use to be very uptight with how pristine every inch of the cemetery looked. I came to pay my visits earlier today and was not thrilled on the decline of the high standards that were set some time ago. Please result back to not having a typically cemetery.. this cemetery was a place everyone wanted to be buried in because of how it was presented and taken care of. (These are areas I have notice) read more

We just buried our dad. There were so many beautiful flowers left from his service that we asked the cemetery crew, who were moving the dirt to cover grave, to place the flowers around his grave. They told us that they would do it. The next day we came to visit my dad's grave, all the flowers were gone! I can't believe someone would have the audacity to steal flowers from the grieving family. I thought this place was safe, but obviously it is not! read more

Has really gone downhill. Shocked at the difference between my father and mother's services. Our family plot was a disgrace at my mother's recent service. It use to be so well kept. Sad! read more

Paid $4300 for a headstone for my sister on 9-10-22. Supposed to be there by April. Went there in May and no stone. Guy there said they "dropped the ball" and he would put a rush on it. Went today 7-31-23 and still no stone. Talked to the same guy and and it was like he didn't even know what I was there for. Told me again he would "put a rush" on it and I would have it by the end of Sept. That's a year since I bought it. This is a clown show and I strongly suggest that anybody doing business here get a stone from somebody who knows what they are doing. I will be there Oct. 1st and if the stone is not there they best have my refund for $4300. Nothing worse than wasting peoples time and that is what they are doing. What a joke read more

Very positive experience @ SS P&P. Out of state issues. Required coordination of church, funeral home (Jack Ruffenach is a star), and on site from internment to selection and placement of a foot stone. Haley Bouhuijs @ SP&P coordinated all activities in a professional, timely and empathetic manner. Highly recommended. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could....Father, brother, and brother -in-law all buried here with flat markers. All were overgrown with weeds and one of them completely covered. I cleared away the weeds today. Substantial number , including my father's, are military markers. Earlier in the day had gone to Holy Cross in Yeadon. Both owned by same company. Holy Cross flat markers all meticulously edged and well kept. I had to explain to my mother why her husband's and sons' markers looked like a trash pile. Upkeep has gone down substantially in recent years. They do have time to call about "post funeral" conference to sell more items. How about treating existing ones with the dignity they deserve. First picture actually does have a marker under it. Second photo is from Holy Cross. read more

The staff at the office site are nothing but dishonest sales people. The give the term use car sales an entire new meaning. A person called and mentioned I needed to go on site and go over the contract to open the grave in order for me to bury my mother. I asked to please email the contract so I could read it ahead of time. I was informed that isn't their policy I need to read the contract on site. I then ask for the cost to open the grave so I could have a check prepared before I go over. Again she refused to share that information I will be told the cost when they go over the contract.. Very suspicious! What's the secret? When I went to their office the cost for the opening will be $2848.00 and an additional cost of $439.00 because the funeral was being held on Sat. I never heard of this.. They mentioned it was overtime. Then they went into their high pressure sales approach. They wanted to sell me a vault, do the engraving on the stone set up a tent polish the stone. What a bunch of leaches!! I later found out their employees are not paid overtime to work on Saturdays. They are paid a 40 hour work week. If they work Sat. They will have a day off during the week. They simply lied an extorted an additional $439.00 ... Also since I refused to use their engraver to put my mothers information on the head stone I was informed I will be charged $220.00 in order to grant permission for an outside engraver to walk on the property. The Archdiocese should be ashamed for sub leasing this out to such a corrupt company. My weekly offerings will be suspended until I recapture the $439.00 ... Fyi... Ten minutes after I posted this on Yelp.. A gentlemen called an asked if he could answer any questions about my unpleasant experience. I informed him to refund the $439 additional cost if not there is no need to keep on talking. Instead of helping with the unpleasant situation he added more fuel to the fire until I told him F***k off. I am still grieving the loss of my mother. She isn't even buried yet.. Services is this upcoming Sat. This organization lacks people skills and compassionate for families at their most vulnerable times. read more

Sometimes, even when you think you understand how life will progress, the Universe throws you a curve ball. Such was the situation with The Queen Mother, a dementia patient. One day she's stable, the next day they're telling us she may not live through the night. We ask the Patriarch: what burial plans have been made? Answer: None. Not even a plot. Oh. My. As we are devout Catholics, there was no question that we would be looking for a Catholic cemetery. I was assigned by my family to look into this. Of the three in the local area, this was by far the most pleasant and responsive staff. I had a same-day appointment, pre-plan discount on a family plot, and brochures for everything else if there was time. No pressure and absolute kindness, even without an appointment. Again, curveballs, that night she was supposed to pass didn't happen. We were then able to pre-plan for her casket (beautiful, exactly 'her') and also work with a funeral home on other arrangements. Basically zero pressure. Yes, it's morbid, still I highly recommend pre-planning as when she did pass some months later we were able to grieve rather than arrange. The cemetery itself is large and we found quite lovely, with statuary of Saints scattered. There is a wide variety of burial options from internment of ashes to family crypts. Our only issue? The day of her internment, the grounds maintenance crew clearly didn't get the memo to NOT run their equipment as the graveside service was conducted. Fortunately, the Deacon had a booming voice. A minor flaw, however one that could be improved for future internments. For Catholics, this is a very good place for burial, and though it is managed by a private company, it is still owned by the Archdiocese and part of your purchase funds their works. read more

Attended a graveside service here. Man, this place is big and complicated. Funeral home organized everything well. The cemetery itself seemed fine. Expensive to be buried here. read more

Do not expect your pre paid headstone to arrive for your loved one any time soon. Nothing but false timelines and excuses for the sales team. 7 months and still no headstone! read more

No stars at all. What a disgrace and at a time of mourning. Attended a funeral on Friday. Bunting was last name. The grave site was an utter massacre. They dug hole, did not tarp, no tent, green carpet, chairs NOTHING!! The open grave that had their father buried in it was flooded out with plywood thrown, yes thrown on top. They knew the weather and do not prepare. Do not bury your loved ones here. They will not care for them properly. read more

My friend was buried at this cemetery. As report by another person if you go back the next day your flowers will be stolen. I was at the burial site at 4:37 pm the day of the funeral (seven minutes after closing). The next day I returned at 9:45 (15 minutes after opening) and the flowers were gone. I sat in my car and cried and just prayed to God that he is resting in peace. Please consider burying your love one somewhere else. read more

Recently visited with my friend's widow and Mother. While driving around can be a little difficult for the preoccupied mind, the staff here are excellent. This was their first visit since my friend's passing. The office staff quickly gathered the information necessary to not only help find the plot, but to update records so that, the next time they visit, all they have to do is give their name, and all information about the deceased location will pull up. A staff member not only gave us a detailed map, but drove us to the plot. She stayed to respectfully, professionally, succinctly, and kindly explain their pre-plan option. No hard sell. Truly felt like she simply wanted the family to know of the option in order to save them unnecessary cost or hassle down the road. This plan offers peace of mind, and the knowledge that everything will be in place as you want it to be, for only $4,500. Compared to the usually $12-15K PLUS most funeral homes charge during your time of grief, this is an amazing savings, both to the wallet, and to one's emotional strain. The current plot their family has offers 12 total spots: 6 casket, and 6 urn. The family are listed together on one stone, grouped by nuclear family, which is updated as members join the plot. They also offer additional miniature stones for the urns. The grounds are well kept, and the roads are clean. Nothing fancy. But serene and peaceful. Highly recommend checking them out, even now for their pre-plan option. read more

Well kept cemetery and nice location. The salesperson was very helpful in assisting us find a burial spot for our mother. Our mother had requested this cemetery as this is also the Catholic cemetery that a lot of our friends have had loved ones buried. The groundskeeper usually drives around in a truck every now and then. They have rules about what you can place around the grave and we have noticed when some items were missing. They only allow the US as the only flag to be placed but I've seen a variety of other flags. Some people also like to decorate with balloons and other knickknacks which I think is nice. The cemetery is only open until 4 PM and my family regularly visits every Sunday. read more

We buried my uncle last Saturday and were very disappointed by what we saw when we arrived for the his service. Despite several emails, the grave was totally unready. Only the hole had been dug and covered with burlap. My uncle had been cremated. There was no green rug down, no chairs, no table for the urn. They showed and prepared it as all the mourners stood waiting. Very sad! read more

Well kept place but nothing fancy regarding landscaping or horticulture. That being said, visiting hours are limited by the locking of gates. Make sure you are out by 4:15. read more

Still waiting for a stone that was paid for in June. It was ordered early September because we were waiting on the proof. We were told it would be in by Christmas only to be told in late January it had never been ordered. Nobody returns calls or emails. If I get someone in the phone I receive a script response if it's "in process". read more

The majority of my family is buried here. Everyone in the office is so kind and gracious, especially when they see this is a recent passing and are a great source of comfort. One thing we have come to learn is about the flower situation. Sure, we all would love real flowers on the graves of our loved ones, but save your money. The deer come out that evening/night and chomp the flowers and all you're left with is a bunch of green sticks. Get yourself some silk arrangements from Produce Junction, or visit Michaels/AC Moore and make your own. Another thing to pay attention to, and this has NOTHING to do with the cemetery, is that you'll unfortunately get inundated by memorial stone companies after they get your name from the obits. One company (who has several locations) have called on several occasions making it sound like they are working with SS Peter and Paul and you need to contact them so you can go forward with your stone placement. Don't believe these people. I don't think there is any time line in which you must buy a stone. Some families are dealing with many issues surrounding the death of a loved one and a stone, which will eventually get there, is not highest priority. Getting back to the cemetery itself, the grounds are nicely maintained, the workers inside and out are kind and professional. If you have any problem with a grave, you can report it to the indoor staff and they'll have the grounds crew get to it as soon as possible. If you are pre planning a funeral, which is a great idea than having one more thing to do last minute...drive through the cemetery to see the different options available. Flat stone? Family plot? Mausoleum? Above ground entombment? Cremains placed in a wall?(not sure if that goes by another name). Any questions about the different entombments? Just ask the knowledgeable staff. read more

My Family bought a Burial Plot here in 1963. The cemetery at that time was Beautiful and remained that way until Stonemor took over. The grounds are no longer taken care of and it has become a Business for them. I visit a lot and am appalled at the condition. The Staff can be very rude and generally don't seem to Give A Damn. If I could take my family out of there, I would do it today. They had a Memorial Celebration on 12/18/2018 at the Cemetery Chapel. They used it as an opportunity for SALES !!!!! What a Disgrace and Disrespect to the families that showed up. Shame On You read more

Run don't walk out of any cemetery owned by StoneMor Partners. Unfortunately both my parents are buried in Sts. Peter and Paul Cemetery which was recently purchased from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia by StoneMor Partners. My father passed away 30 years ago and was buried in this cemetery. My mother just recently passed away this past November and was buried with my dad. On St. Patrick's Day I went to the grave with flowers and decorations. The deplorable conditions I was met with as I drove through the cemetery were inconceivable. I at first thought I just missed a tornado that must have gone through because the entire cemetery was littered with debris. When I got out of my car at my parents' gravesite I was appalled to see that the debris was dead Christmas decorations and empty floral containers. I was shocked that here I was almost 3 months later and the entire cemetery still had Christmas decorations. Not to mention Valentine's as well. I had never seen the cemetery look this way before StoneMor purchased it from the Archdiocese. What an absolute disgrace to the people buried there and their family members and visitors. After my visit I immediately went to the office to complain but there were numerous other people in front of me so I went home and called the office. I left a detailed message and asked for a return call. None came. I also called the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Catholic Cemeteries Division and left the same message and asked for a return call. None came. Do not purchase a cemetery plot in any of the StoneMor Partners properties. A for-profit company that trades on the stock market is only there to answer to their stockholders not families of the deceased. For that matter I won't be purchasing a plot from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and will ask to be interred in a non-denominational cemetery because the Archdiocese can always sell the land at any time like they did with Sts. Peter and Paul. read more

Has anyone been to the cemetery lately? It's a disgrace. We are two weeks away from Easter and there are still Christmas decorations adorning most of the grave sites. Unbelievable. When I went to the office to complain they used the weather as an excuse. I pointed out that there was three times as much snow last year and the Christmas decorations were picked up in a timely fashion. My family has been out there since 1967 and I have visited off and on throughout the years. I've never ever seen it look like this. Not only are the Christmas decorations around but there are tree branches and other debris all over the place. It's hard to look at. It's not like you can move your family somewhere else. You pay for perpetual care and now you are lucky if they weed whack around the headstone. It's a disgrace! read more

I went to the cemetery yesterday to put flowers on my parents grave and my aunt and uncle's (they all buried next to each other). My aunt was the last to pass away (June 18 2014) The site is unbelievable. I took a picture which I wish I could post. The stone is coming up from the ground. There was nothing I could do since it was the day before Easter. I will call tomorrow and hopefully someone will take care of this. It is not like I can check because I do live over an hour away. Like Elle M said in her post the cemetery is a disgrace. read more
