Haven Memorial Cemetery is maintained far better than Greenlawn Cemetery across the street and their grounds maintenance standards are even better than nearby Immaculate Heart Cemetery, though Haven’s flat marker sections are a little sloppy as photos on this site show.
Mount Jacob Cemetery in Glenolden, Pennsylvania is risky because of its leaning headstones. Be very careful when visiting this cemetery, and keep children away. See the photos to find out why.
