The care and upkeep of the grounds are certainly subpar. No care or concern.

CFCS & the Youngstown Diocese take advantage of mourning family’s in their darkest hours. The cemeteries owned by the “church” are the most expensive in Trumbull & Mahoning Counties, yet remain underserved.The facilities are run down & decrepit, while upper management and clergymen take elaborate trips around the world off the profits of the dead.The management spends more time at the Thirsty Frog, then concerning themself with your family.Bishop Bonnar is aware. They Board Members are aware. CFCS is aware. That’s why all the local funeral homes are trying to convince people to go to other cemeteries because the church has abandoned it’s mission.

The staff at Calvary was nothing short of amazing - particularly Bryan. He was kind, compassionate, extremely generous with his time…and all with a sense of much needed lightheartedness and humor.Searching in advance for the locations of our ancestors, clearing & marking the graves - scattered in numerous locations throughout the grounds in advance of our arrival - was an incredible gift.Thank you, thank you Bryan!

Went to visit my Parents site and the Bronze Marker was missing . I have called 5 times. Two work orders were put in to search for the marker . Several promises to call me back never happened. Michelle from the Cemetery asked me “ What do you intend to accomplish”.
My parents worked hard all of their lives. My Dad struggled to pay for the marker. If it is missing I would like to replace it and the WW2 bronze medallion that he earned for his service to our Country.
Not a nice place to bury your loved ones.

Very nice, well kept, everything seemed to be on the up & up. There's a fence around the outside, because people are dying to get in.

I have relatives here. Cemetery is huge so it's best to know where the person/persons are when you visit their grave sites.

My grandma passed in October 2020 and we have visited her and my grandpa's sight about every two weeks since then. We have always had to maintain their spot ourselves- clean leaves, trim the grass, pull weeds- for the past 13 months. We went to visit before Thanksgiving and saw that a small angel statue we had on the site is now missing. I understand items have to be out of the way for upkeep, but we are the only ones even upkeeping their grave. Very upsetting to have no way of getting it back; it seems that memorial items going missing is a common trope here.

I paid in full for my father's grave stone several months ago. Was finally called and informed that the stone would be installed in the morning last Friday September 11. We went to see it that evening. It had not been installed. When I called on Tuesday, I was that management thought that the grounds keepers had in fact installed it. It is Wednesday evening, and I haven't even received a phone call! The grave stones that are in the ground are so completely covered with grass that you have to pull grass to read the stones. Terrible service. I would definitely not pay in full.

From what I can remember, they were alright with burial procedures. Stone maintenance is bad. I've gone up there a few times with my own trimmer and trimmed my family's stones and a few in their rows that were almost completely grass covered that you wouldn't know stones were there. I've been there and have seen Enviroscapes out there in teams trimming. They are obviously doing a terrible job. If they trimmed stones even once about a year ago, they would not be grass covered now. I uncovered stones of a lot of Vets. Purple Heart and Bronze Star War Vets whose stones you could barely see. It's a huge cemetery but I think it could be maintained better.
