My mother-in-law has been buried at this cemetery since 1991. It sickens me to have left her in this deplorable place, but she wanted to be buried with her beloved father. Sharp Street Memorial Church should be embarrassed to acknowledge responsibility for this cemetery on its website. The cemetery looks like a dumping ground. My husband regularly cuts the grass at the gravesite, but what is going to happen when he is no longer able to do that?

In the early 1980's, my best friend buried her mother at the cemetery, now she can't even find the gravesite because the marker was stolen and there is so much overgrowth in the area.

It is beyond comprehension how the resting place of so many outstanding African Americans with such rich histories can be left to this degree of disrepair and ruin.
