The City of Concord owns and operates three municipal cemeteries. Oakwood is one with Rutherford…read moreand West Concord the others. The City's Buildings & Grounds Department, Cemetery Division provides the maintenance and care of the cemeteries and opens and closes the grave sites for the funeral home. I found Oakwood to be quite peaceful. I parked and had a nice walk around to take in the graves and headstones. The cemetery is in very good condition. The website find-a-grave reports one "famous" person laid to rest here. Samuel Iredell Parker is a World War I Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. He served as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army in Company K, 28th Infantry, 1st Division. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for action on July 18-19, 1918 near Soissons, France. He died in 1975 at age 84. [Review 13166 overall, 483 of 2020.]

I have since removed those photos except one of the area where my loved ones are buried to show a before and after photo. New ownership has stepped up to the plate and started to fix the things that need fixing. I think all the graves I took photos of last year have been fixed. Last couple of years I would not have recommended this place but I do see effort now that they are trying to live by their caring motto.

They walked us through every step of the process with patience and respect, making a difficult time feel far more manageable.

Elmwood is a well-maintained cemetery. Seems like it's burial site for some well-to do Charlotteans. I saw so many names I'm familiar with. Including "Dunhill", which is the historic hotel I used to work for Uptown. Elmwood offered me it's own history lesson while also humbling me. It made me feel so grateful to be alive and able to admire this place from the land of the living, with all respect. If you ever need to get some mental or emotional clarity, take a walk in a cemetery. This was enjoyable.

I've been putting off this review for way too long, but better late than never?…read more Morbidly put, this is where both my parents lie (RIP, Dad 2010 and Mom, 2015). My parents told me once that they drove by it, and immediately decided that this was where they wanted to rest in peace. If I recall correctly, they went ahead and bought the piece of land there years in advance (5-10 years prior to?). As it goes, when their time came, we bought a plaque/slab (not sure what you call it) with both of their names on a beautiful piece of land, along with a sitting bench, titled "Lee Family" under a tree, filled with chimes...and I visit this lovely place to mourn a few times a year. Every time I visit, I hear the chimes...and it feels as if they're greeting me. :( Also, I am SO glad we decided to get the bench. I've actually brought food there to eat under the tree...and it actually felt peaceful. From my recollection (though hazy due to the trauma of both occasions), the service by their staff was really good. I guess my only reservation is that there have been a few occasions when I felt that the upkeep/maintenance could have been better. For instance, it doesn't appear that they do any sweeping or dusting of these plaques. As you may see from the most recent pic, my parents' plaque almost look brown with all the dustiness that gathered over the months. I mean, it's actually a shiny, black marbled plaque, but you'd never know it! Guess I need to bring Windex to scrub off the dirt next time? This place is a bit pricey, but overall, I guess it was worth it. Though a bit of a drive for me, it's always a nice, pleasant place to visit (despite the morbidity of it all)...and surprisingly, not spooky at all.

After having a terrible experience with the handling of my mother's funeral, I was beyond shocked to be in the same situation 7-months later with my only sister.

Danielle walked me through the process and gave me options to either purchase items and services individually or collectively with their packages. I just want to thank Boston's for treating us like family and giving us peace of mind as we lay our beloved Antoinetta to rest.

If you are looking to purchase a cemetery space this is best cemetery around to do so.
