Landmark Memorial Gardens

"My husband was buried at landmark cemetery. I signed a contract to pay $100 per month. I was told if I had any difficulty with the payments to call and let them know. I found myself under financial disaster with his passing not to mention the unbearable amount of grief. I did, with the insurance money paid all that was due for My husband's cemetery burial . I also had paid the funeral home for all that was due. Needless to say there was no money left. The contract that I signed with landmark stated that I owed approximately $3,000 that would include the headstone and me being buried next to my husband. I called landmark repeatedly to let them know about my struggle but no one called me back. Later that year I received a call from Denise who was very argumentative, I told her I just was not able at the time of his passing to pay the 100.00 per month. This is when she informed me about the price increase from $100 per month. Under the new contract I would have to to pay $200 plus per month. She also informed me that the total cost had gone from $3,000 to 9,000. I told her I would be able to pay 100 per month now but not $200 plus. She then told me that there was no negotiation that I would have to pay an additional $6,000 bringing my total to $9,000 if I wanted to be buried next to my husband. This problem has not been solved and it is extremely upsetting to me to think that I will not be buried next to my husband of 24 years . It appears to be price gouging to me at the expense of a grieving widow. I know that the price of goods have increased but I feel like this is a ridiculous increase in the balance that I owed for the headstone and to be very next to him. When I think about it the hole has not been dug for me to be next to my husband nor has the liner been ordered The only cause that I could see right now that would be occurring additional cost would be would be the headstone. So how in the world did they come up with an increase of $6,000 more when the headstone is the only increase that's occurring that may be occurring at this point. It is so unfair.I hoping that my situation will get better and I can pay the amount due so I can be buried next to my wonderful loving husband of 24 years ."

"My brother had been buried at this cemetery for almost 2 years. When we buried him I was told that they clean the tombstones 4 times a year. I'm from Illinois which is a four hour drive I expect to see the flowers, bears etc that my family put down on his grave. Needless, to say I visited him twice in the same week before I left to drive back home and his things were gone. My sister has been calling leaving messages and no one has returned her call. Last, week we get to the cemetery and his vase was missing off of his tombstone! Now, calling trying to see why we are having so many issues and still no return call yet. I'm extremely upset with the way you guys handle business. I've never loss a loved one until I buried my 25 yr old brother at this beautiful cemetary and I feel like I'm reliving that terrible day all over again. Where are the groundskeeper? Why wasn't we notified about the issues that are going on? Why haven't you guys returned any of our calls? I just need reassurance that no more of his items will be removed before they're supposed to be. Will his vase be replaced? I'm a concerned big sister that truly love my brother and I need to know these things In advance. A courtesy call is all it takes. I'm very disappointed!"
