Desert Memorial Park

I don't usually write reviews, but my experience here deserves to be shared. The condition of this cemetery is beyond neglectful. The grounds are completely overgrown—tall grass, weeds everywhere, and headstones that have sunken so far into the earth they're barely visible. I’ve had to bring my own tools just to clear the weeds around my loved one’s marker and cut the grass myself. It shouldn’t be my responsibility to maintain what is supposed to be a place of respect and rest. To make matters worse, the American flag was removed before Wednesday, even though it was supposed to remain in place until then. That’s incredibly disrespectful, especially to the veterans buried here. It feels like no one is paying attention or taking proper care of this sacred ground. Our loved ones deserve better. This cemetery needs serious attention and accountability. I included a before and after from what I had to do for my sister's headstone.

Took a trip to Palm Springs and discovered that fellow New Jerseyan “Ol Blue Eyes” Frank Sinatra had made his home in Palm Springs for 40 years and is buried here at Desert Memorial Park, Cathedral City, CA. I went and paid my final respects. He is buried in Plot B-8 easiest to access entering on Ramon Road. Mr. S. was buried in 1998 with a pack of Camel Cigarettes and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s (Black Label was his favorite), plus a roll of Dimes. Rest in peace, Mr. S, not bad for a skinny, poor kid from Hoboken, NJ.

When we purchased my sons plot and casket, we also paid for life long maintenance of his headstone and gravesite. EverYtime I go to visit, it is unkept The hard water deposits have complete cover the stone making it impossible to read and they'd chipped the top of marker with their lawnmower.

I just find this so rude and so totally inconsiderate for people that are here. There’s thousands of people that have loved ones here - for them to impose their loud screaming mariachi while we’re sitting around still grieving the loss of our loved ones and wanting peace and quiet because that’s what you’re supposed to have at the cemetery—you’re supposed to consider all other people and what they’re going through. Why don’t we just make it a damn concert venue then? ITS A CEMETERY!!! Where’s the reverence and decency people??! Unacceptable!

It has a beautiful view and rest in peace, great Frank Sinatra, your name will be remembered for decades and centuries. I am a great admirer of your work. You were a great music star. Rest in peace, Francis Albert Sinatra.

Peaceful. Didn't take me long to find Frank Sinatra just look for flag or flower and Jimmy Van Heusen is on the same lot 1 row before Frank

Very well kept, serene Cemetery. Went to see Frank Sinatra, Sonny Bono and William Asher who was Elizabeth Montgomery's husband when she was on Bewitched.

The workers harassed a friend of mine for trying to water her husbands grave site (since none of the workers care for the grave sites themselves) only because they didn’t want her making it easier on herself by using a hose, she has asthma and decided to make things a little easy by using a hose instead having to walk back and forth with a bucket of water in the hot sun. And she ultimately got harassed by a staff member and the supervisor, I think it’s ridiculous considering that none of the workers care for any of the graves and won’t even let loved ones care for their deceased. Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful, if I could leave a negative I would. DO NO BARRY YOUR LOVED ONES HERE UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TREATED WITH DISRESPECT.
