It is bordered between Truman Rd, Blue Ridge, Brookside and 24 Hiway, and has hills, lakes, sculptures and tons of trees. The grave of pioneer Jim Bridger is here as is William Rockhill Nelson. The large Nelson chapel and mausoleum is spectacular and designed by architect Jarvis Hunt, the same man that gave us Kansas City Union Station. This structure in itself is worth a drive here to see. I spent a hour plus and still did not see all of the grounds. My favorite cemetery in the Kansas City area.

Then I said I'm looking for "DIRECT CREMATION WITH ALL INCLUSIVE PRICING) and she said "What we want is to schedule a time for you to come in" (RED FLAG). The moment she said "We want" it was no longer what *I* wanted, especially when I said I was looking for direct cremation with all-inclusive pricing. Why do i need to come in? Why can't you email me what I exactly what I asked for. I said "NO NO...WE ARE DONE!!!!! Any funeral sales persons acts like that. YOU KNOW its buyer beware! They shouldn't be afraid you send you pricing and emailing you what you ask for. This is still Covid and not having to come in is ridiculous now days.

I just couldn't get my thoughts together to design what I wanted for our double headstone for he and I. 1st spoke with Beth she showed my daughter and I design books which helped alot. Then Angel Frisbie came to help as well. Both ladies were so kind, compassionate and knowledgeable of what they were selling. This was July 2025 I was wanting to get it ordered so he would have one by Christmas. We ordered it, finalized the design, final viewing of it to be sure it was correct by my daughters, next was the call Sept 24, 2025 it was going to be set in just about a hour. I never imagined it would be set this quick. I cried in my car driving down the road after the call from Colton from Frisbie. I had not seen the finished stone until it was set. I am so pleased at the time frame it took to be done and set. Thank you to Angel and Nathan Frisbie for carrying on a family owned business and helping me make the best decisions in creating something nobody wants to do. Colton thank you and who ever helped you set it you did a awesome job. Beth thank you as well for your help when we just dropped in with no appointment and you welcomed us.

I have attempted to visit Sheffield Cemetery on several occasions when in the neighborhood; which…read moreis usually on a Saturday while on a taco run. The gates have always been locked, I assume because of the Jewish Sabbath. My visit yesterday on Memorial Day was successful for entering but slightly unusual. Most cemeteries on Memorial Day are filled with families visiting graves and decorating the tombstones and lawn with flowers and ornaments - not here. I was the only soul on site for the 40+ minutes I wandered amongst the 5500 graves. Even more puzzling; was besides the small American flags at the graves of veterans, there was ZERO decorations in the entire Cemetery. No people, and no tacky plastic flowers or broken wind chimes; just a well manicured lawn with tightly packed tombstones in perfect rows for my isolated inspection. The oldest graves are early 20th century, so nothing too ancient and no one of historical relevance that I could detect in an on-line search. I wandered the lonesome resting grounds alone under a gray overcast sky with low dark clouds while multiple freight trains rumbled along the viaduct just south of the perimeter fence. The Hebrew writing, the stars of David ever present and the line of WWII casualty / veteran graves in the back west corner all triggered emotions of sorrow that I have not felt at other final resting grounds, even though I didn't have any personal connection to anyone buried there. Having just bought tickets for the upcoming Auschwitz exhibit coming to town, I was certainly attuned to the somber reminder of what many of these people beneath my feet had fled from or watched with horror from personal connections. A moment in time that I'll always remember and could never duplicate.
