There are some dedicated volunteers who have spent years removing the overgrowth and trash that was dumped here. There is still a sizable section of the graveyard that is thoroughly hidden by trees and overgrowth. The cemetery was begun in 1893. This is primarily an African graveyard and there are former slaves buried here. Unfortunately there are many graves that do not have markers. It is believed there are about 700 to 1000 people buried in this acreage. One thing this property also has an abundance of are African white Irises and one of the last surviving areas of the Post oak trees. The sign that designates this graveyard is currently being replaced and there is yet no Texas historical marker either. This is still an active graveyard and there have been recent burials. I found out that about 10% of the graves here are of infants. There are also numerous veterans graves.

A very nice cemetery. Lots of volunteers have been clearing this spot for years. It's actually the…read moreParks Spring Cemetery; but since all the variations are pronounced the same... no harm, no foul.

We are beyond words in expressing our gratitude to the entire Cremation.Green team. When our…read morebeautiful13-year-old daughter passed from Ewing Sarcoma at MDA in Houston, we were initially transferred to another facility for cremation -- a rushed process that left us uneasy because the facility was so cold and nothing like what we expected for our sweet girl. Late that evening, while searching for a place that would truly honor her, we found Cremation.Green. We called close to 9 p.m., and Laci answered with such compassion and understanding. She immediately helped us make arrangements, and by the next morning, they sent a vehicle and our daughter was lovingly brought to their farm. The experience was beyond what we could have hoped for. We were able to watch the entire cremation and send her off ourselves -- something that brought immense peace and closure. The facility was modern, serene, and absolutely beautiful, with a viewing room designed in the warmest, most comforting way imaginable. When we walked out with her ashes, the wind was softly blowing, and the trees and windmill seemed to wave us on. In that moment, we felt a deep sense of calm and gratitude. We are forever thankful to Cremation.Green for creating such a sacred, dignified, and loving space for our little birdie's farewell.

The service was good in the end, but it was sometimes hard to reach people initially.read more

I accidentally stumbled on this place 3 years ago (thank GOODNESS) holy wowness... I'm telling…read moreyou.. this is everything one could hope for.. The extent these people go to is phenomenal. Such great work, and done with such pleasure. While I love coming here every year and seeing what they've done differently and what they've added, I also love coming here and seeing how happy they are to see us so happy. Truly amazing people who stay out all night with the crowd. Now, I'll be the first to admit I do not know these people personally; however, they are very special to me... Why you ask? Because if you could see what they do and how much they love it.. you'll know why. Trust me.. drive out here.. it is SO worth it. If your kids are on the timid side.. beware... it's not for the faint of heart... bwwwaahahahah Dick Peterson... I appreciate all you have done and all you continue to do. See you in a few weeks!

About five or so miles out of Manor on FM-973 lies this large well tended to cemetery. The first…read morething that struck me as odd was the fact that there are no trees on the property. This appears to still be an active cemetery as there are some recent burials here from the last few years and the most recent interment was from August 20, 2022. There's still plenty of room for more. Despite being surrounded on all sides by farmland, there is a new development in the area. This is a well laid out orderly graveyard with many family plot areas. Many of the names found on these stones are of German, Austrian and Swedish descent. There is no parking lot, but there is a gravel road perimeter that runs around the property. There is a decent size covered structure on the property capable of holding funeral services. There are a few graves from the late 1800s, but the majority are from the 20th-century. Two things I did not find are a Texas historical sign, and there were no CSA designated service member graves. Nor did I find any Woodmen of the world markers which are common in this area. I also saw no graves dedicated to the Pfluger or Boatright familys. If you desire to make this your forever home, you'll most likely have to contact the New Sweden Lutheran Church located in the vicinity, but not near the cemetery. The photos included in this review give greater insight.

Ellen takes excellent care of the grounds, information, and families. The information that animals are buried in this wooded park is openly advertised so it stands to reason that if you purchase a plot in an area where animals may be buried, you may expect to have an animal buried near your plot. This burial park is so peaceful and lovely, I purchased my plot today.

This graveyard supposedly sits right next to the Stonegate subdivision and directly behind the good luck grill. There is some additional property behind the good luck Grill that is fenced off and way overgrown, but it didn't appear there are any gravestones beyond that fence either.
