About the cemetery: This is a huge cemetery with thousands of people buried there. A large bell tower at the top of the hill in the cemetery, rings when funeral processions enter the gates. Ground grave sites have both flat memorials and standing monuments. There are also a number of single family mausoleums, mostly located on the hill by the bell tower. Additionally, there is a columbarium for cremains, and a large spread of wall mausoleums at the bottom of the hill in the back portion of the cemetery with a lovely lake that support live ducks & geese. This cemetery also has its' own chapel and crematorium.
