I live next to the open field. On Haverford Pl. This is just heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for all the loved ones families buried there. Shame on them.

My grandparents are buried there. They past away when I was little. We have attempted to locate their graves, however Resthaven gave us bad information about their location. When questioned they couldn't be bothered with giving the correct information on their grave sites. Family friends succeeded in having their daughter and her grandmother moved to another site due to being under water, but it took along time. Lastly, it shouldn't matter whether or not a gravesite is being visited by a loved one, no one should be under water.

My father has been there for about 19 years complained about the water told us they were going to put in a drainage system. The only thing they put in was a statue. Now both parents are there and their stone is always under water.

I am very sorry I just purchased a plot at Rest Heaven!!! I am considering asking for a refund!! I have loved ones there and I am sick over the conditions i found when I visited them! The deep water and mud makes it impossible to get to their graves!!! I purchased my plot last year and was never informed that it flooded! My brother in law was laid to rest in November and I can't even visit his grave also my nephew's grave site is flooded!!! I find this very disrespectful to our love ones and I am sick over the conditions!!!

The conditions here are unacceptable. The excuses are too little too late.

My dads grace could not be found when I was last there. Just disgusted.

My Mother and Step-Father are buried at Resthaven and an out-of-state friend's parents are there as well. I live on the far east side and when I was at the cemetery a month ago, I was unable to even find their grave stone. The worst part was that a Resthaven employee offered to help me, but we still couldn't find it. It was either one that was underwater and covered with the dead leaves, or was one that had the 4'x8' sheet of plywood laying on top of it. I just wish that I'd had my camera with me that day.

My grandparents have been at rest haven for over 10 years and their grave sites continue to flood with no action being made by the staff to rectify this. It leaves us uneasy knowing that our loved ones are resting in such conditions.

Have family and many friends buried there and these conditions have been happening over many years. Really sad for the families of loved ones.

I am behind you 100% on getting something done at Resthaven. This is a terrible situation and so many are hurt, upset and angry about their loved one being so disrespected.

They will settle this. They don't want a massive law suit.

My daughter is buried there. Over the past two years I have noticed a steady decline in the quality of the cemetery.

My grandparents are buried there and at one point their headstone was completely off of their grave site and then was put back. The driveway and entire cemetery needs work. Its heartbreaking.

This is horrid. Who ever owns this property needs to be brought to trial for disrespect for the dead.

This is not a result of heavy rains this year. This problem has been ongoing for at least 5 years and you have been made aware of it. I feel like I need a canoe to reach my brother in law's grave every Memorial Day Weekend. Have some respect.
