I have been going to that cemetery for years and it is kept up beautifully. I have gone to the office on three different occasions and received the information that I requested on all three occasions and they never asked me for a cent. I was not able to find the grave for my great grandmother, because she does not have a stone. I had the plot number but it was so hard to find. I went to the office and they had a caretaker (maint. person) come with me and he found it for me. Most cemeteries have a small fee for mail servies. The new York Bay/Bayview cemetery in Jersey City, charges 4 dollars per request. At least that is what they chaged me for my "mail" requests 2 years ago. The Trinity Church Cemetery in New York City, gets 25 dollars a pop. (each request) Mrs Dee from NJ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
