Belleville Cemetery

Well kept city cemetery .

Well maintained grounds

I go to the Belleville cemetery usually every day. I have seen how disrespectful the people that take care of this facility are. With the amount of rain that we have had the ground is wet, they have contracted out to have the grass cut. These are young people doing the grass. They have left ruts where they have tried to cut grass and the ground is still wet. Go over new plots where there is no grass and leave tire marks. Drive over inground headstones and have raised the corners of the stone. There have been headstones laying on the ground for months. Alot of headstones needing to be reset on the ground mounts properly. Do not see anyone trying to fill in where the rain pools so the water is not lying on the top of the graves. I have had to go and tell them that a large branch had fallen on a headstone, took them a couple of days to come and clean it up. The garbage cans are usually full and over flowing before they are dumped.I did not know that the Belleville Cemetery has become the new dog park, bike trail, walking trail and organized running trail. I go to the cemetery to spend time with the love ones I have lost. Try to keep their gravesites looking good, putting flowers in and have put grass seed on to get the grass to grow many times. People need to come and take a look at the grounds.

My husband's Grandfather & Grandmother are buried at Belleville Cemetery. The grounds a quite beautiful and along the river. We try to get down at least a few times each year to visit.
