Alva Cemetery

Forever home to my best friend Kathy Chisum. I will always remember you as this beautiful human that took me into your heart with all my imperfections and made me feel loved and human again. I miss you tremendously every day, specially now. I ask God for when is my time, to let you be the one who meet me at the gate of heaven. Love you my dear friend, and thank you for being in my life at the moment you were. I just wish you had more time in this earth as I dearly miss you every day, even when it doesn't seem like I do.

My experience was not a very pleasant one, to be honest about it. We are Florida residents and live in Cape Coral. Cape Coral has only one cemetery, it is very large and near busy streets. It is beautiful and well kept, but we would prefer to be buried in a smaller, quieter location. I knew about the Alva Cemetery because we looked at property there and almost bought a home there, before settling in The Cape. After driving through the Alva Cemetery today, it seemed to be what I had in mind. When I called inquiring about buying a lot, they asked me how I got their number, then I was told that we have to live in Alva to be buried there! It was plain I was not welcome there.

Old world cemetery, surrounded by orange groves.. Interments lay among beautiful trees draped in spanish moss...
