Mount Nebo Cemetery

Mount Nebo is a special place. It's in a beautiful, natural setting as opposed to one that is heavily manicured, like other typical cemeteries. The grounds are very rustic. There's something tranquil and spiritual about it that's hard to explain, but you feel it when you're there.

This is a very quiet Jewish only cemetery separate from Laurel Grove cemetery. It has huge old trees and the quaintness that you can imagine for a cemetery. The issue is because of its secludedness set back far with little visitors the animal life has flourished. I am not just talking about the typical squirrels, bird and groundhogs. It started with deer which I have no issues with. Next came foxes which actually have a den in the front of the cemetery. They can be frightening at first but ultimately pose no threat. Next came the coyotes, yes you read that right, which then decided to raise a family in 2020. To me this is not an animal you want to see when trying to pay your respects especially not realizing you are between a mom and it’s pup. When we were there we one of the coyotes chasing a deer. Yes I know they don’t eat people but I don’t want to flinch every time I hear a noise or keep looking over my shoulder when trying to pay my respects. The grounds keepers need to do more to make it unfavorable for them to stay.

Fox do not eat people please disregard previous post
