Rock Creek Cemetery

First and foremost, let me just say BRANDON IS A GEM!!!! I came to the cemetery on a day that they were closing early, long story short, Brandon saw me outside, saw me and my family and came to us asking if he could be of any assistance. We explained what we needed, he explained to us that they were closing early but still stayed to explain everything to us. We came back, and decided this is where my babyboy would be laid to rest. Brandon made me feel so comfortable, and made this at little less painful for me and my family. The grounds and clean an beautiful and I would be more than comfortable coming to see my son. Please don't sleep on Rock Creek Cemetery.......

This is an outstanding cemetery. The funerary art on display across the well preserved array of graves was to die for (sorry). The grounds are well maintained and they have MANY notable people buried there. This a historical treasure and one of the most aesthetically pleasing cemeteries I've visited. My one suggestion for improvement is more visitor services support for historically inclined visitors. They do have a map available at the visitor center that had the rough locations of some notable graves but it didn't do a great job of helping actually find graves. Find a Grave app is a necessary companion. Still, this place is fantastic. Go!

We were treated with kindness and dignity, much appreciated, and the burial service went smoothly. There was some confusion beforehand in the information we received about which gravesites were actually available for the type of burial we had in mind, and about the timing of the service. It would be helpful to have those matters cleared up before spaces and times are proposed to a family. We did ultimately find a suitable spot.

The staff at Rock Creek Cemetery, notably Ms. Terry, were kind, understanding, and helpful from the first phone call to the most recent email. I had never before had to go through the process of choosing a burial site or burying a loved one. Ms. Terry explained the entire process and was very patient when I was choosing a site. In fact, she found me the perfect site in the section I was interested in. The arrangements on the day of interment were flawless in spite of my obvious nervousness. The entire process was handled professionally by all involved, and the kindness was palpable and did not waver. Many may know that there are many notables and luminaries buried in this cemetery. The treatment I received for my departed loved one, made me feel very much like she was one of them.

The staff at Rock Creek Cemetery was phenomenal! I've never had to plan a funeral and was not at all prepared to make preparation for my sister. Every staff member, Fernando, Nadira, Brandon and everyone else I spoke with was loving, kind and patient with me. They guided me through everything. They didn't capitalized off my emotions. Prices were presented for multiple choices and they allowed me time to make a decision. I would HIGHLY recommend their services.

I visited Rock Creek after spending several crowded days at the Smithsonian, and was double struck by the peacefulness of this cemetery. The grounds are lovely and in April there were many trees and shrubs in blossom. I spent a couple hours there on a Sunday morning and was surprised at the paucity of visitors.

Visited Rock Creek Cemetery on April 15…on a lovely spring day. Nice place to take a walk while viewing the grave sites. Lovely cherry trees in bloom.

Thank you staff at Rock Creek Cemetery for making this difficult process a little easier to navigate. I appreciate your professionalism and also the property and grounds is beautiful too!
