My grandparents, Dad, and an uncle are buried there ...

I am local and take my Mom all the time to the graves ...

We were there about a month ago and there were at least 6 funerals going simultaneously (3 with full honors - band, horses & catafalque, pall bearers, rifle squad, and trumpeter).

6 at a time is very doable - if you don’t go for full honors (pall bearers, rifle squad, and trumpeter only).

But, if you put the band and horses and catafalque in the mix - you are creating a logistical nightmare ...

Not enuf horses or bands ...

My last visit, I walked from a hotel in Georgetown to the cemetery, in the middle of February. I wasn't sure of the distance, I just wanted to get there in the couple of days I visited the area.
