Gate of Heaven Cemetery

Hours: Gate of Heaven Cemetery is a resting place that receives mixed reviews regarding its upkeep and management. Some visitors find it to be one of the better kept cemeteries, noting that workers are respectful and non-intrusive. Others, however, express significant concerns about the condition of the grounds. Complaints include sections being unkempt, with flat stones covered in dirt, making them difficult to read or find. The cemetery has been overwhelmed with new burials, and while maintenance is acknowledged as very time consuming and physically taxing, the appearance can sometimes feel neglected and depressing. A serious issue for many families is theft from graves. Personal items like wreaths, vase arrangements, and solar-powered candles are reportedly stolen, which is extremely heartbreaking. Security has acknowledged multiple complaints about items being taken. The cemetery has rules prohibiting items on flat stones, which has caused confusion and upset when decorations are removed. Management has shown responsiveness, with one reviewer thanking them for promptly addressing concerns and attending to a specific section after a complaint was made. The overall sentiment is a desire for consistent upkeep and improved security to protect the dignity of the resting place and the families who visit.
