Family members chose to move to Atkinson, NH a couple of decades ago. When it came time to chose…read moretheir burial plots, they chose to remain in the town they called home. There is an older section of the cemetery that has some very nice, large monuments. In recent years, the cemetery has opened up new areas. If you are looking to purchase a plot, they appear to have some available. Family members are allowed to leave memorial items at their family grave sites and to plant bushes and flowers as well. Water spigots and hoses are located throughout the property making it easy to keep your plants watered. It's very nice to see grave site personalization. There is a small child's grave near our families plot. That family has chosen to leave toy cars and other items reflecting the child's interests and a memorial bench is nearby as well. Other graves have markers of wars fought, flags, and other items of interests the residents shared in life. It's very nice to see people there caring for their loved one's sites. The staff seem very personable, the grounds are pleasant and it's in a normally quiet area (except perhaps when the nearby fire apparatus are needed). What else can you really ask for in a final resting place?

By recommendation from my daughter for our last morning in Boston, we came to this gorgeously…read morelandscaped and well kept cemetery/green space. It is definitely the prettiest, greenest, most walk worthy cemetery I've ever seen! We stopped by the visitor center where a staff recommended a particular way to walk to the Washington tower in the middle and to see Isabella Gardner's grave by Auburn lake. We appreciated the windy, cloudy day with glimpses of sun for our adventure today. Several tombstones were guarded by statues of a favorite family dog. Many were clearly family plots. We climbed up the many winding stairs of the Washington tower for a breathtaking 360 degree panoramic view of Boston and of the greenery below. We'll be back! We only spent an hour here today but could've easily stayed 2-3 just exploring. Highly recommend!

If you love history, people's stories, city views, and landscaping, go to Mount Auburn Cemetery…read more It's free to explore and only a short bus ride from Harvard. (I walked from campus in 20 minutes.) When you walk in, pop into the main building to use hr restroom and pick up maps of the cemetery. You'll learn the cemetery is the first one in the country intentionally designed as a garden/arboretum too. The map will guide you to monuments and memorials and notable burial sites to abolitionists like Charles Sumner and poets like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. If it's open in the warmer months, climb the Washington Monument for a view of the city. It's closed during the winter, but the hill it's on still offers unobstructed views.

My grandmother is buried here and we did sprinkle my uncles ashes there too. A good cemeteryread more

After Concord was incorporated as a town in the fall of 1635, one of the first official acts of its…read moreoriginal settlers, along with building a meetinghouse, was the establishment of two small burying grounds. This one, which came to be known as the "Hill Burying Ground" or "Hill Burying Place", was laid out near the northwest end of the long gravel ridge that sheltered the rude houses of the first settlers when they first came to Concord. At its east end, the first small meetinghouse was built, probably near the top of the hill. For many years, all burials are said to have been done here on the hill. According to one tradition, the very first area used was actually to the east of the present bounds, although no trace of it has been found. In any case, the earliest graves were either unmarked, or had wooden or simple stone markers that have since disappeared. The earliest marked grave here is that of Joseph Meriam, who died in 1677 at age 47. There are approximately 500 headstones with the earliest (marked) death date of 1677, the latest is 1854.

Focusing on American military history, the displays are not just a collection of period artifacts, but items that have definitive stories, or were own by identified people. Many of them are simply incredible to be found in a small NH museum.

No response to multiple calls to his cell and to the office since then. No call no show. Very unprofessional. Internet says the business is not closed. If you close or decide to drop a customer for some reason (can't i.agine why.. everything was great last yeat) they should be informed in some way rather than ghosting and leaving someone stuck and without snow removal services. It is now Thursday, still have not heard from them and I am seeking another company. Very inconvenient and they are rude and unprofessional.

After dealing with five unreliable services in the past two years--many of which no-showed and left me stranded--I finally found someone I can count on. Living on a mountain means we get way more snow than surrounding areas, and when John realized my situation, he didn't hesitate to put me at the top of his list. He showed up immediately when I was desperate to have my driveway cleared, making sure I could get to work and appointments. His dedication, reliability, and willingness to go above and beyond truly set him apart. And with a name like John Dutton, you already know he's a stand-up guy! Highly recommend his service to anyone in need of dependable snow removal!"

My sister and I, along with our family, suffered the unexpected loss of our mother last week, and…read morewe were overwhelmed with grief. Grandchildren, great grandchildren, and extended family and friends, were all trying to process the shock. In the middle of all of this, Mr. Kevin Comeau (and his associates), of Comeau Funeral Home became a steady, compassionate guide who truly walked beside us through every step. The care she received from EMS responders, hospital doctors, nurses, and hospice staff was beyond reproach. But when reality settled in with her final breath, her appearance reflected the starkness of physical death, and it was heartbreaking to think that this might be our last memory of her. Unsure of what to do next, we reached out for help. When we called Mr. Kevin Comeau of the Comeau Funeral Home for guidance, he immediately eased our minds. He assured us that once she was in his care, he would use his experience, empathy, and skill to restore a peaceful, dignified appearance so our family could say goodbye with comfort rather than distress. He delivered on that promise with extraordinary care. When we saw her again, she looked serene and at peace, a transformation that allowed us to begin healing. That single act of compassion set the tone for a beautiful, spiritual, and comforting wake, Mass, and interment. It meant everything to our family. Mr. Comeau's professionalism is exceptional, but it is his humanity that truly sets him apart. He supported us, guided us, and treated our loved one with the utmost respect. We are deeply grateful for the kindness he showed during one of the hardest weeks of our lives. Comeau Funeral Home and Mr. Kevin Comeau have our heartfelt thanks.
