I love this cemetery, I had such a hard time trying to decide what rating to give... It breaks my heart that after so much death that we have had in our family and the the good people of Olive Branch and treated us, our family and friends with such respect, dignity, and kindness I would have a question in my heart as to the rating of this special place. For the the past 4 years I have had a death a year while living out of state. They have always been so helpful! But to no fault of their own the city has come in and apparently without regard for some of the older stones totally destroyed them, and some of the others shove them completely off of their resting places. you have to pay for the damages yourselves to have them restored. That is very costly. I do not have the upper body strength to restore the stone. The city of Portsmouth did not, and has not responded to my phone call before I had to return home. This needs to be addressed and corrected. I believe my loved ones are no longer there," to be absent from the body is to be present with Christ. "(2 Corinthians 5:6-8) But I would like respect shown to their final resting places. It is my earthly touch point until I see them again. I don't think that's too much to ask this side of heaven. Thank you to everyone at Olive Branch who has been so kind to me & my family and friends. You deserve the 5 stars.
