Business ProfileforMount Hope Cemetery

I cannot in good conscience give Mt. Hope even a single star. Their service does not warrant it. My husband was buried at Mt Hope cemetery in August 25, 2017. On September 30, 2017, I purchased a granite headstone that was PAID IN FULL as stipulated in the purchase order contract. On Sunday, August 27, 2023, I attempted (deliberate use of word) to visit my husband's gravesite and discovered that his headstone had been moved from its original place above his gravesite and placed haphazardly under a tree. I was not informed that his marker needed to be moved and I most certainly would not have agreed to its displacement/misplacement under a tree. The treatment that I received on Monday was equal to their tossing my husband's marker under a tree. I had to voice my concerns over an intercom before being granted access into the establishment. The person on the opposite end on the intercom could be seen speaking to me through the glass and was reluctant to get up from her seat and walk the 10 steps to open the door. The receptionist informed me that they had to remove the headstone on Saturday, August 27, 2023, due to a burial in the area and fear that they may damage the marker. So, their attempt at safeguarding the marker was to place it under a tree so that anyone could trip over it, sit on it, or completely trash it. I spoke with a groundskeeper who did not realize that the marker was not returned. The marker was moved on August 5th (not the 27th), and it is the policy of the cemetery that it should be returned within 48 hours of its being disturbed, thus the misplacement. I can give a greater description of disrespect paid to me from a place where unconditional positive regard is expected throughout my lifetime and generations that follow me and want to visit his resting place. However, I will end this saying that a single star rating would be a disrespect to any establishment that would provide a modicum of care. Mt. Hope provided me with no care at all.
