My grandparents and mother are buried at Assumption of Mary Cemetery, just east of Holy Cross on Brookpark road. Holy Cross manages and maintains that cemetery, as both are Catholic cemeteries. My grandparents were buried there in the late 80s, and mother wanted to be laid to rest with them when she passed in 2016. There were a bounty of problems, amongst them:\n\n- When we arrived at the cemetery to inter my mom, it appeared they had the wrong grave opened. We had a moment of panic: not what you want when you are already grieving. It turns out the cemetery had installed my grandparents headstone wrong over 30 years ago.\n\n- We purchased a headstone from Milano Monuments (Who did an mazing job, BTW) and Holy Cross lost (YES, THAT\"S RIGHT--LOST) my mother's headstone. Milano confirmed delivery with a photo of the headstone in Holy Cross's warehouse. I'm thinking they do this because Holy Cross is not the most organized of places. It took Holy cross two weeks to find it. I was disgusted. \n\n- Finally, I've requested grass to be planted on my mother's grave four times since she has been interred in September of 2016. It is now November of 2017 and inspire of NUMEROUS conversations with the office and as many maintenance requests, my mother's grave is still bare. We considered planting grass ourselves since the cemetery doesn't care.\n\nWhile the folks in the office are nice and seemingly empathetic, there is clearly no follow up in that cemetery and it is quite clearly mismanaged. How in the hell can a Catholic cemetery do this is beyond me. The rest of my family agrees: avoid this place. Creamation and scatter the ashes would be a better alternative than having your family members go to these pains to make your final resting place right."^^ .
