I come ever so often to visit my nephews' graves. This is a beautiful cemetery. Mountain views all around. It's well maintained-green grass, attractive headstones, and room to grow. There is a big gazebo and lots of trees for shade. read more

Brown's Cremation & Funeral Service
(7 reviews)
Brandon was incredibly proactive about addressing the issues in my initial review. He read my…read morereview, reached out to his staff to determine what went wrong, and then contacted me with sincere apologies and explanations (which he did not frame as excuses), and practical solutions to make it right. I really appreciate the sincerity and good customer service. I truly believe that Brandon was genuinely concerned with how distraught my family was over the wrong urns, and not just how it made Brown's look. Although the initial service was unfortunate and subpar, I believe the customer service, which involved Brown's taking full responsibility and monetary remedies, warrants an upgrade in review. My family will be using Brown's again (hopefully not anytime soon though!).

I highly recommend Martin Mortuary. They have been servicing my family for generations. My mother…read morerecently passed. We live in Denver but she was born in Grand Junction and wanted to be buried near her parents here. Although that could have complicated the process, the staff at Martin saw to it that all details were worked out in a timely fashion. Starting with Faith, who did a professional job prior to my mother's death working thru the original cemetery contract that was many years old and then preparing the current contract for us. Faith was kind and professional even though we were across the state, we had confidence that all the details would be taken care of and they were. Bree at the Mortuary was also professional and sensitive regarding details after my mother passed on Mother's Day. She helped with the transport of the body across the state and preparing the body for burial. She worked closely with us on the obituary and the memorial service folders, Bree made sure all of our requests were met. Martin staff did an excellent job during a most difficult time. Thank you!

Legacy Funeral Home

I am going to start this review with a rating of 10+ stars. Legacy Funeral Home was so fantastic…read moreto my family. Jerry and his staff became part of our family while taking care of my dad. They were so understanding, available all the time to answer our questions and were genuine with everything they did. He is very honest and a class act in our book. They gave the utmost respect for my dad while in their care and worked hard to get the things my dad wanted for his funeral. I cannot believe how comforting and attentive they were to our entire family. Legacy went out of their way to accommodate and make us feel loved. To top it off, Jerry even offered his suit jacket to my mother on the day of the funeral as the rain poured down. You CANNOT get any better than that. Thank you so much Legacy (Jerry) we are eternally grateful.

I cannot express enough how disappointed and upset I am with the services provided by this funeral…read morehome. My father passed away unexpectedly and I was in a vulnerable state. From the very beginning, there was a lot of miscommunication and confusion regarding the services that we needed. Tj the owner took advantage of our vulnerability during this difficult time and since the first phone call has never reached back out to me but instead has had his employees speak to us instead of himself. Not to mention when I picked up my fathers ashes I heard his nasty phone call conversation with his employee. You can hear through your walls just FYI. After my father was in their care, there were constant add-ons to the original agreement that we had made. They charged us for things that were never discussed and made us feel like we had to pay for them in order to give our father a proper send-off. It was a very stressful and disheartening experience. I would not recommend this funeral home to anyone. They took advantage of our grief and made a difficult time even more challenging. I suggest looking for a more reputable and compassionate funeral home that has your best interests at heart.

Rifle Funeral Home
I stumbled upon this beautiful, well manicured cemetery on a recent road trip to Colorado…read more Instrumental trans-communication (ITC) research is a passion of mine, so I decided to conduct a two-hour spirit box session. The session began slowly with only a few random discernible words and phrases, but I began receiving numerous intelligent replies after approximately thirty minutes of ingratiating myself. As I approached a section reserved for veterans, my Spiritus app began spurting out words related to war. My EMF detector spiked as I knelt to read the tombstones belonging to Andrew Michelsen and Nolan Booth, both WWII veterans. The words "war" and "Germany" came through clearly. I thanked the spirits for their service and moved on. I happened upon a grave belonging to Ralph and Faith Vaughan, who passed away within a month of each other. I commented on their passing and heard, "Couldn't wait longer." I interpreted this as Mr. Vaughan explaining that he felt a need to join his wife after she passed away. The spirits of children are often the most vocal, so I was not surprised to interact with Nicholas Jones, who passed away in 2003 at the age of 13. Before I could make out the details of his tombstone, I asked, "Nick, what was your favorite hobby?" The reply "football" was unmistakable. I examined his epitaph and saw that it included a picture of him in a football jersey. ITC practitioners speculate that spirits tend to "move on" over time, so the older sections of the cemetery (i.e., those more than a century old) were predictably quiet. The newer plots, however, were rife with spirits eager to share their life experiences. If you are interested in this work, consider spending an afternoon at this gorgeous cemetery.

Looking at Whitewater Cemetery from the road…read moreyou would think it was a very small, unpopulated cemetery. 1895 was the oldest headstones we found. We did find a couple newer ones from 2016. The walk is very pleasant, and the view is incredible. To reach the cemetery, take Highway 50 through Whitewater, and turn North on Blair Road.
