Best Military Cemetery Lansing Near Me

Kimberldcpwsdwwozowfwy Webster: Today we laid my beautiful mother-in-law to rest. The staff at Mt. Hope, in particular Ms. Dionne, was so kind to my family. She treated us like we were her family. The kindness, professionalism and patience they bestowed on our family was appreciated and we thank you. Losing a loved one is never easy but when you do, having a place like Mt. Hope to help you during the transition makes things so much easier.

Paula Hoeft: Well kept grounds, varied headstones, more than a few obelisk. Some parts of roadways need repair. A bathroom would be nice.

Kara Grace: Beautiful, peaceful place of rest. I like to park and walk into the woods at hawk island through the cemetery in the spring and often see deer and other wildlife. Very serene.

Michelle McDonald Vlastnik: This place is full of beautiful trees. We saw 14 deer walking through the grounds. Several of the head-stones have been moved and people need to stop doing that.

Kimmy M: I have driven by many times, but I have now gotten the chance to take a walk through. It is a very well kept space with lots of Lansing history. It was very peaceful and surprisingly hilly for how flat Lansing is. There is a beautiful overlook of the Grand River and the river trail along side it. I would recommend this spot for an evening stroll.

John Riker: This cemetery has some very old unique head stone. Full of history very cool.

Letisia Wells: I’ve lived close to this cemetery and this place has always stayed very clean very quiet they keep the area very nice and I’ve never seen any kind of problems come from here.

Paige Brusati: Beautiful cemetery very big and scenic

Jess: It might sound a little odd, but I live close to the river trail and like to take morning jogs or walks here. It makes for a nice, clean and quiet place to get some fresh air and exercise. Sometimes I bring a flower or two for some of the much older gravestones.

Electra Nicolaou: OMG! Mom died October 27, 2021. Burial November 5, 2021. The cemetery said the grave should be cleaned up after two weeks of burial. Fast forward five months. The site was not cleaned. I called the office got an apology ( didn’t help, my sister cleaned the grave ) and was told that the stone was not ordered from 13 years ago. Fast forward, the stone is still not ordered and this is what the grave site looks of as today. Mind you the rest of the cemetery is well groomed. No Excuse for this! Totally unexpectable! My mother’s name : Anna Georgiou.My name: Electra NicolaouToday’s date August 25, 2022The rest of the cemetery nicely groomed except my mother’s grave.

marie swinford: My moms gravesite was a mess with grass covering’s and still not done with posting her death date. Not happy.!!!!!

Tom VanKuiken: Was at cemetery June 28 and was appalled at conditions! Roads were terribly maintained and my aunt and uncle's markers are sinking into the ground towards each other. People purchased these sites believing they would be well maintained, and they are not, disgraceful!

brad smith: When visiting my parents graves the markers are being overtaken by the grass on almost all the flat stones.We were there memorial day and not one veteran flag marker was out. Thankfully we had taken a flag to honor my father's service to his country. Why doesn't any service organization put flags out at this cemetery?There were several memorial benches that had been broken by the grounds keepers hitting them with the mowers...by going too fast?You need to do better and show our loved ones respect and get better grounds keepers.

Sandra Scott: I was able to get all the information I needed, plus some. Very nice and informative young man (Tavion Walker).

Katrina Kaufman: My mother died August 25, 2021. Why on Mother’s Day 2022 have they still not installed her headstone? I was PROMISED it would be in by Mother’s Day. On May 3rd I was told the ground was still too wet, but they had placed it where it should be and would install ASAP. My first Mother’s Day without my mother and she doesn’t even have a grave marker. This is so UNACCEPTABLE.

Smith Jones: It's sad when people lose loved ones and then have to put up with bad customer service. Shame on them.

Tim Wesolek: Extremely disappointed in the service provided by this company..My father had preplanned and paid for everything in advanced, but when we showed up nothing was ready for our visit. Had to spend time filling out paperwork and then the sales person asked us what our grave location was (he had the same paperwork we had!) When then traveled to the chapel on very poorly kept roads..full of pot holes..to the chapel. The grave was right next to chapel, and although the had it marked to be dug up no one had taken the time to clean off the leaves/snow from the marker.Run don't walk to another cemetery!

Pauline Timmer: I can't believe as much as I have paid them that they can't spare 2 wreath stands unless you buy the wreaths from them. Everything is always about the almighty dollar.

Sosha Knapp: Trevor took the time to help me on Mother's Day locate my mother's grave. Meant a lot to me. Above and beyond service on a Sunday when the office is typically closed. Thank you!!

Patricia Rivera: Horrible experience! My parents had prepaid their grave sites yet for my moms funeral we had to have it on a Saturday because family came from four states and they charged us $900 for "Overtime!" The cemetery manager came to the gravesite services to have me sign the bill instead of calling me later, and also they used an old door for plywood around the plot at the graveside service instead of buying new plywood...what an eyesore! Four months later and they still do not have her date on her headstone .

Ellie Tobey: I ordered and paid for our tomb stone in May 2018. My husband passed away on July 312, 2019. They had not ordered the stone and couldn't get it up for his funeral. I called on Aug. 21, 2019, no stone! I called in Sept., no stone, I just called yesterday, no response when they said they would call back!! I believe they are cheating more people than just me!!

Jeff Milbourne: Quiet respectful place to visit loved ones

Davin Villarreal: Horrible service and experience. They lost my mother in laws engraving request multiple times and still 4 months later she still doesn't have an engraving and the management has denied responsibility or offer to help make things right

Martin Sell: Some work still needs to happen before I will give it a 5 star. 1. They need more help finding lot pins to find what sections you are in. 2. I know that this is one of the oldest Cemetery in the Lansing area, but over time markers do get covered over by grass. This is one of the most important reasons to get more help working on the grounds to find the markers that are covered over. Also to find and replace the old lot pins to aid in finding someone's family members. Other than that, making sure that every family is told about what you can and can't do at the grave of your loved ones. If you just let them do whatever they want, then the beautifulness that makes up Deepdale will just be like any other cemetery, one big lawn of garbage. I hope that the owners get to read this. Because this may be where I'm thinking of placing my beloved wife and myself someday.

Theodore Kopulos: A bit of a rocky start getting the process started; certain staff no longer there. This place is truly beautiful so I persisted. I then met Larry who was kind, caring and one respectable person. Without hesitation he fixed all issues and I found out more from him in one day than weeks with the other.

Nicholas Gibson: Neat

Pabbam: Beautiful. Impressive Masoleum and it's very well maintained.
