Thank you for your kindness with our family during that unscheduled 1st visit in August.Taking time out of your busy schedule to help us understand everything and continued help throughout.Bonus for supplying maps and markers for Grandma’s sisters so we could visit them as well.The staff was wonderful and recently provided this image since the marker was not available at time of service.THANK YOU ❤️
As a student at a nearby seminary for multiple years, I became familiar with Richmond's Earlham Cemetery. As you might guess, Earlham Cemetery is just down the street from Earlham College on U.S. 40 in Richmond, Indiana. The cemetery was started during the Civil War, actually 1861, and became incorporated in 1863. 140 acres are already landscaped and the cemetery has 160 acres left to develop. It's a rather huge cemetery that includes a wide variety of sections to try to meet a wide variety of needs. There are special sections such as a Veterans Field of Honors, a section for those of the Jewish Faith, a section for Masons, and a Mausoleum Chapel for above-ground burials....read full review
Earlam cemetery has good and bad. Richmond is a town founded by Quakers and the college adheres to no guns nor violence. Jim Jones wife, The kool aid massacre, is buried there in an unmarked grave. My husband and saw a concert there by Arlo Guthrie, a peace ]advocate. Great concert! Richmond has a rich culture. Home of Jazz and a huge piano manufacturer.
