Carol,
In regard to the thugs - I was told the same by St. John's Cemetery. I visited the cemetery last weekend and can tell you this: the area around the cemetery is run down. Of cause an area run down to many people would mean thugs. The cemetery is on a dead end, a dirty street but the grounds of the cemetery are very well kept. Bring the pepper spray - it's a good idea for any cemetery. Holy Trinity is so small, with small "stones" and with very few trees you can see when someone is coming. The road is narrow - only one car at a time.
Some of the "stones" are marked with the grave block, row, and grave. Each section starts with the highest row. Example, I have a family member in block 2, row 11, grave 9 - 11 is the first row off the road - 1 is back of the section.
Some of the grave markers are very sad to see - crushed like cans.
Hope this helps. Happy hunting.
Stacey
