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.

This lovely little cemetery is not really that little and is only separated from the Magnolia…read moreCemetery by a humble fence. 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.
