Sunrise Memorial Cemetery

My dear friend TUMAINI is buried at this place it has become my safe spot . Through the dried season & the greenest of GREEN I have ever seen a field of green clovers it looked so magical . I will sit in the lawn with my blanket and his faithful companion MOJO jojo no matter the weather rain or shine & wind and bumpy road that place has built CHARACTER if you think about it through all it’s endured . I will not complain of the nature all seasons hold beauty perspective is everything . If I am not happy with something I will DO MY best to make the most of his & his cousins plot. & the owners son has such a heart of gold for this place & I have faith the owner n groundskeepers do too . I witness it myself in the flesh when he laid his headstone down on the same exact date of my friends 1st heavenly 27th birthdate , they even helped me fill the sinking hole with more dirt and came out to trim him & his cousin up for me after they set the stone . It was the little things that helped make that date even more special to me & his dog . We sat up there all day there with my helium bottle blowing up balloons / with our cake & confetti 🎉 celebrating his Younglife & memory until the sun went down & we could watch the led lights we set out that day make him glow for us & it was a ENCHANTING moment in time . I just wanted to say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder . If you want change you have to also look within please do not disrespect nature & again lend a hand or find a POSITIVE in a negative and all things can FLOURISH

Due to the location, and the amount of homeless in Vallejo, I understand why some might think the owners don’t do much with the cemetery, but they do. I work here and the people that own this cemetery now is Hillcrest baptist church, the last owners just up and left and they decided to take care of this cemetery. It may not be the nicest and greenest cemetery but they do care for the grounds as much as they can. Not only do our groundskeepers keep the grass cut and are taking down the dead rotting trees, our church comes to do voluntary service once a month to help out. It’s a lot of work, and people who visit often will see the difference that has been made over the years. A sprinkler system isn’t available for this place just because it’s costs so much, especially to replace the old system that was destroyed by earthquakes and such. However I guarantee you that during the rainy season, it is at its most beautiful. I appreciate working here and doing what I can for those who are in need. It’s a slow but sure process in making this place beautiful and peaceful.

We would appreciate that both "city" & "state" respect "all " loved ones,& remove all Ducks,(who constantly leave their feces everywhere). It is extremely expensive to bury loved ones,please install a sprinkler system,to come on after hours,a few hours in the evening,so you can better beautify, "Sunrise" with rich green grass,not Hay.
