Many victims of the Titanic disaster are buried at Saint Raymond's Cemetery

Billie Holiday's grave site was nice to see. It seemed to have more tokens of respect placed on top than did Leonard Bernstein's grave atop Green-Wood.

If I could I would take him back to another cementary inwhich no one is ristricted but I want him to rest in peace. Unfortunately I picked the wrong cementary. Ms.Gotay.

My babyis buried inthis cemetery. I went to put flowers in her grave and found a soil up on her tombstone and a big hole about 12 inches deep. The caretaker also left his work gloves thrown there. I was so upset that I just felt like sitting down on the ground and crying. I will call them, and they will have to find out who did this and get action. The hole was full of water and also the grave next to it was also messed up. Is this how they respect the dead?

I WOULDN'T TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH ANY THING TO BURY LET ALONE SOMEONE I LOVE- HOW CAN THEY DIG MY GRAVE IF THEY CAN'T REMOVE STOW FROM TREMONT AVENUE SIDEWALK. THEY CERTAINLY DON'T CLEAN UP THE GROUNDS!!! THEY DON'T EXPECT ANY COMPLAINTS FROM THE DEAD, IT'S UP TO THE FAMILY MEMBERS IN OUR TIME OF GRIEF TO DEAL WITH IT. OF COURSE NOOO-ONE WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH IT WHILE they are grieving. WHAT A BAD NEIGHBOR,
