Grave Matters

One of the most popular days to visit a cemetery is Mother's Day. As the weekend approaches, traffic to the parks increases tremendously with visitors coming to spend time with family, particularly mothers. A best practice for visitors is to either know where the person you are visiting is or call to find out ahead of time, as employees will be very busy with patrons asking to look up their loved ones the day of. Plan ahead and be ready to share the space with others there to visit as well.
Ways to make the visit fun and meaningful- pack a picnic, plan a family activity or game to do at the site, make it a mini family reunion, or simply plan to refresh the gravesite while you are there!
