From its color, to its height to its surrounding cemetery with prominent forefathers buried all around including John C. Calhoun. You must walk inside. It's soft colors, quiet ambiance and beautiful design will take your breath away. This is one of the most elegant parts of downtown Charleston and of course, there is no charge to walk inside and soak in the feel of history and faith.

Established in 1681, St. Philip's is the oldest church congregation in the state of South Carolina…read more After they moved to their Church Street site in 1710, they built a church that lasted until it was wiped out by a fire. The current building was constructed in 1835 and boasts a beautiful, tall steeple. The interior of St. Philip's is stunning so if you're exploring the churchyard or cemetery, go inside the church and look around. It's usually open, with helpful guides to tell you all about it. Fact: it is the highest point in Charleston. Also, The church you see today is the second on this site. The original held its first service on Easter Sunday 1723, and burned down in a fire in February 1835. It also has the distinction of having both a churchyard (graves surrounding the church building itself) and a cemetery across the street. The view of Church Street punctuated by St. Philip's remains one of Charleston's most photographed spots.

You can drive through but this sprawling combo of history, nature, and reverence is the perfect place to walk. Mix of old and new. Plenty of sculpture throughout. Well kept but not overly manicured as that would ruin it. Wildlife abounds. Very good vibes.

My cousin recently passed away and we used Fielding for her services. On the way to the burial, the…read moregentleman driving the hearse was not happy with the fact that the family car driver wasn't driving fast enough. We made it to the burial and as we were getting ready to leave, the driver couldn't get the car out of park. She tried everything. The gentlemen at the grave site looked under the hood and while they didn't see anything wrong with the transmission fluid, they did see that the car was very low on oil. Why would that not be checked before sending the car out? She called the gentleman who was driving the hearse because he had already left. He comes back and was able to put the car in drive. The part that is disturbing is that after that, he leaves! He doesn't wait to see if we are able to get to our destination or anything! We did and made it back to Charleston from St Matthews (an hour away), but the fact that he left was disturbing. At least make sure your customers are safe! That was my first experience and hopefully my last.

They need to care for the exterior of the chapel, it needed cleaning and a good painting. Then they need to either someone that knows how to operate their sound system, or get a different one. They couldn't get must come on(although it constantly announced "POWER ON" &POWER OFF" during the service!!!) Someone in the audience had the music play through their cell phone! Very unprofessional in my opinion! I wouldn't recommend their services until they get some training on how a dignified funeral is to be conducted...

The Mount Pleasant Memorial Gardens is located directly off Matthias Ferry Road, next to Stuhr…read moreFuneral home. The 23 acre gardens are beautifully maintained, and the roads and pathways are constantly being repaired and cleaned. At the very back section is a memorial wall for the cremated, and this is the area where there are sections for other faiths. Payment to the gardens includes purchase of the lot. They have guidelines on the headstone and once this is paid for, the cost includes lifelong maintenance. The staff are wonderful. In particular, working with Patrick Mallard was a pleasure and very comforting. He is very respectful, and working with him was immensely reassuring. He worked on designing the headstone with me and was very respectful of my faith, and did the best he could to make sure my mother had the most appropriate headstone. I can't praise him enough as to how great he was. My mother passed away a few years ago and I see how well Mr. Mallard and his staff continue to upkeep the gardens. I find great solace in coming here every week and I feel Mr Mallard and his team should be recognized.

They have many of the same type of monuments and gravestones as the Magnolia has. You can also drive into the cemetery, park on the side of the small roads and don't expect any well paved roads, so stopping by after a rainstorm is not recommended. All of these cemeteries are located in an industrial area of town, which is very strange to me. There are the two big cemeteries and then there are several smaller, obsure cemeteries in and around the big ones. I am from San Diego and we have many, HUGE, well maintained cemeteries in SoCal, (you should see where Michael Jackson is interred) but none are as charming, historical, old or haunting as the cemeteries in the South. I could've stayed all day in this area if the weather had been better.
