Mt Pleasant Cemetery

I flew up to Seattle after finding that my long-sought relatives were interred in “Mt. Pleasant Cemetery”. I was extremely distressed to learn the Aunt and Uncle who died as children are buried in Section F which hasn’t been maintained in decades. I couldn’t find them as they are among over two dozen headstones lying under brambles and a detritus of leaves and branches thrown over the cemetery’s not “well-maintained” grounds. Some of their first eternal customers languish hidden in inaccessible rows of graves, forgotten and ignored. I tried to find their graves to no avail as the whole section looks like a Steven King cemetery horror movie with headstones jutting out of bramble bushes. After talking with their indifferent manager, Melony, she dismissed this condition as low priority for their groundskeepers and while on a vague must do list, “couldn’t tell me when” this section would get the attention promised my grandfather when he buried his kids there. So much for an eternal peace, care and access to those wishing to say a prayer above their graves. Shame on Mt. Pleasant and their current owners, the Neil Edwards family. To continue to bury the dear departed while ignored those that came before is criminal.

It was a very sad emotional day for our family. The groundskeeper guys dressed in plain work clothes stood over to the left of the gravesite with their little cart waiting for us to finish the service...they came and covered the beautiful ivory urn...I wondered why some white biodegradible tissue couldnt have lined the small plot?? We came back a few months ago..cemetary looked horrible. My husband cleaned off several markers and put broken sticks in tall ones that were about to fall over! We pulled weeds that were covering our precious plot and many others. Cant you get the boys scouts or church groups or community service groups to come and restore and maintain this sacred cemetary if you cant afford to do a better job? This should be a place to come later for peace and reflection and it has turned into a place of sadness in my opinion.

Not happy with the ground maintenance at all. Been getting worse over the last few years. Today was the worst I have seen it. We literally had to scoop cut grass off the markers to find them. Grass and dirt are starting to grow over the markers as well. This is not ok. Years ago, when we first started visiting, there was an amazing groundkeeper by the name of Jeff....sure wish he was back.

Well maintained cemetery with a lot of history. A good walk, too.
