This is a constant problem and none of the employees care and do not help! I have spoken to them on several occasions about this. Please do your research before settling on this disgusting place This cemetery is money hungry and do not care for their residents or their families!!! They will be communicative during services but once your loved one is buried they will do the bare minimum to care for your loved one.

I sadly had to lay my son to rest exactly 4 years ago today. In the four years, my time coming to…read moreSt. Mary's has been so traumatizing. I have bought things for the grave had them ripped out and thrown into the trash. I've followed a guidelines. I even used to drive and pick up things the day before cleanup mind you clean up still didn't clean the area. Well enough I would have to weed eat and do everything else around the grave. My son's headstone was put in crooked. I feel a little weary about the fact that as I see other graves going in, I am not sure how the three spots I bought next to my son would still be there for me too be buried there. One of the things I will never forget is it was during Covid when my son passed away I was unable to see him, so I told the management that I wanted to see my son before they lay him to rest, the amount of time the gentleman spent trying to talk me out of it is unreal! He made it sound like my son would look horrific and tried to scare me as how I feel. When I see. my son, it only seemed as though he was sleeping. Why scare a mom Another thing that stood out to me is communication. I feel like in the beginning you're grieving so much that the last thing you want to do is complain and they take advantage of that. The cost of the funeral we stopped counting after 20,000. We wanted to pick the most beautiful area of the whole place and unfortunately feel like because it's one of the places that they drive by the most. It is the one place that they decide they don't want anything around the grave at all. I asked for them to contact me when they were putting the headstone in. It would've been one thing if they told me they could not however they told me they would and they promised me. I only knew about them putting it in because another parent who lost her child text me that it was getting ready to be put in. I was able to bring a bag and asked the gentleman for some of the dirt that he was digging up. More than anything it's the lying. It's the changing of rules just everything changed immediately one week after deciding to bury him there. I wanted two flower pot things. They said yes butt one day said "we stopped doing that" I can handle things as long as you're honest with me! Management has not been honest with me from the gate. It is very expensive. If you are planning to bury somebody here, please don't buy the headstone through them you can save a lot of money going elsewhere. I would put in writing the things you're asking for unless they say yes to because unfortunately I don't know what else you could do to be sure that that happens. I have tried to get a hold of management before and only had the girls at the front to talk to, which is very upsetting because I don't wanna be upset with somebody that has nothing to do with whatever is going on at the grave it's unfair to them as employees. This entire process has been so traumatic and traumatizing on top of me losing my only child. My son was 24 years old my best friend and they have made the entire process that much harder I have been with other people to other graves and other lawns, and even around Christmas time the way they can put a Christmas tree up and decorate and stuff. It's just more homely and feels more amazing. I have so much more to say and I will update this when I get a chance. Including photos from my Facebook review if not allowed admin let me know thank you.

He was of sound mind and very proud that we would not have to worry about anything financially! I called three years ago and spoke to "Clarence" who was in charge of the funeral side and told me that everything was paid for in advance and that there would be no costs. He pulled the paperwork and I emailed mine to him and he said yes! After setting up an appointment a week after he passed and with our paperwork in hand, they began to tell us that the only thing that was paid for was "the plot" only??? Nothing else is paid for??? Our Fred was a very smart man and retired from the State of California after 45 years as a IT guy. He retired after working at the California State Lottery Commission! He would never just take to drive to South Sacramento when he lived in Citrus Heights and just pay for a plot with nothing else paid for!! He did not want that burden put on us financially and he said so 10 years ago and again 3 years ago!!! As his family, we never understood why he choose this funeral home and cemetery to be buried at, when no one in our family ever lived in South Sacramento, unless he responded to some sort of "ad" they sent out in 2001 as a way to gain business. The place was old, dark, run down, not kept up and smelled of urine. We looked at the paperwork in the office and it says no casket?? We were shocked and didn't know what was going on here. So, we looked at each other knew it must of meant that he was being cremated?? Wrong... The paperwork is not right? Something is not right! He was more than likely "mislead" and told something else otherwise. This smells like "fraud" here. He took care of all of this and signed this prepaid contract on 7/16/2001, and put money down on his prepaid contract and made 72 payments of $76.00 taken directly out of his bank account!!! I just read some complaints on here where inexperienced employees did not have the right amounts on paperwork and some paperwork was missing!! In the meeting, they were trying to shove a expensive price list in our face so they could take even more money on top of what he paid. Something is not right here and again, it smells like "fraud" and trying to mislead customers. PLEASE BE AWARE AND DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! DO NOT PREPAID ANY FUNERAL SERVICES WITH THEM! We left very upset and felt bad that they mislead him and took his money. Again, he would never just purchase a "plot" only and nothing else. Who does that? You have to put the remains somewhere before a burial, and he would not do that!! We told them that he was mislead and got up and walked up before they tried for the "second" time to shove a expensive price list in our face!! I told them I would be contacting our Attorney and Law Firm to obtain back the monies he paid by having them to buy back his plot for the price he paid for it. This is the right thing to do.The funeral counselor that gets paid via commissions only, said that the plot was now worth $18,000. We only want the price of the money he paid in July 2001. I am filing a complaint with the "Funeral Consumers Alliance" and the "Cementery and Funeral Bureau" here in California. I decided to write this on Yelp so this doesn't happen to anyone else. This is heartbreaking, because anytime you purchase funeral packages or families trying to make arrangements, etc. is a very emotional and sad time. And, this is one where he was taken advantage of. How many more families of the Sacramento community has this happened to from Sacramento Memorial Lawn and not reported. Some of the written comments on here have gone through poor experiences at such a stressful and emotional time. We ended up finding a wonderful funeral home/chapel In Roseville where we live, who has been family owned since 1954, before we even left SML's parking lot. We were a little stressed after all of that. They took us in like we were part of the family and the Manager greeted us with empathy and kindness of what we had just gone through with SML. She sat down with us to support us and help us to set up getting the cremation taken care of and his body transported from Mercy Hospital to their crematory. She went over every detail of the prices, we paid for everything, signed the paperwork and were on our way. This gave us so much peace and we were grateful at the way things turned out for us.

She remained professional while empathizing with my needs as well as my complex family's needs. She listened to what was important and honored what my granny wanted. I will be forever grateful for that. Jere remained in constant communication with me via phone as well as email. I kid you not the first day I spoke to her I was on the phone with her from 9am until they closed and not once did she rush me or make me feel like I was inconveniencing her. At one point I found myself apologizing as I felt I was being needy and she said no, no, you guys are family and this phrase coming from a complete stranger at a time when I was so emotionally distraught meant so much and only speaks to how empathetic Jere is. This task (in planning) was extremely emotional for me as I loved my granny dearly but having Jere and this company handling things provided a small sense of peace for me knowing that my granny was being cared for even in death. I can't speak much to pricing though I thought it was fair but regardless of cost I felt honored in doing this last thing for my granny.
