Reviews
"Very peaceful to visit my maternal grandparents and mother. Im planning on a niche here for me so i can be near them. It is expanding and has a lovely view of the golf course. However i noticed alot of graves are getting closer together than they use to be."
"Great place to be laid at rest. Always looks well maintained. The office staff are there during cemetery hours to answer any questions you may have."
"My father's remains are located in one of the buildings, which only allows fake flowers. So we hung fake flowers with 2 hanging pictures of his grandchildren and a hanging cross. We've had this there for years, with no issues, complaints, warnings. A few months ago, without warning, my father's flowers and hanging items were all thrown away, along with other people's items. There were no posted signs that this would be done or written warnings, or any warnings of any kind. They just threw them all away. I was furious, because the two hanging pictures were my father's favorite items and irreplaceable. I remember going to the office and the lady working there was really disinterested and offered no apologizes or responsibilities. Just saying things like, "it happens", "we try our best". I am trying to be a better person these days so I did not lose my temper and I also decided NOT to write a nasty review, Then today, 9/16/23, I went to visit my dad and sure enough they once again threw away his new fake flowers that we had for him. In these buildings, we are ONLY allowed to place fake flowers and this time, we ONLY had fake flowers, no more pictures or crosses, because we did not want to lose them. We were last there to visit him on 9/4/23 Labor day and there were NO signs that they were removing flowers or cleaning, asking people to remove fake flowers. They just threw them away without telling us or giving us a heads up. I understand if you live in this area and have to use this place for your deceased family members. I just want everyone to know what they can expect. They will throw your stuff away, and offer very little in response except for "this is the last time we'll do this" or "we're trying our best to look for it". This place is a business and I believe they threw away the fake flowers because maybe they got in the way of them setting up more display cases to make more money. It almost doesn't matter if you put real flowers in the building. Real or fake, they'll just throw it away without telling you. I guess my point will be, if you have to come here, only put items that you will be okay with losing. Do NOT put items that you do not want to lose. They will throw it away."
"I was just there today and I find that it is clean and well maintained. That said parking is difficult and there is no one there in the office on Sundays."
