If you want your baby buried in the garden of the innocent you only can have a flat headstone. That…read morebeing said if they mow they pick up all the flowers off the baby's Graves and throw them behind the office. This area is not huge. They can take a few minutes out of their day when they mow over the grave over the headstones and put the flowers back on the baby's Graves. You go out there now and the grass is entirely dead where the babies are buried. It's called The garden of Innocence. They don't even water the grass. I paid a lot of money for my daughter's hand-painted ceramic picture for her headstone. Very early on when she died the lawn mower went over and put a huge deep scratch through the middle and they don't care. They're like too bad too sad what do you want from us? I would like you to perhaps water the grass at least and put the babies flowers back on their graves!!! Have some dignity & some compassion for these parents. I have 2 daughters buried in the garden of Innocence. The area is very small so please don't make a reply and say the area is just so huge there's no way it would take hours to put the flowers back because that's b*******.. I know it's asking for too much to them think about the people there as opposed to just making the money.

Sometimes, I think I ought to sell my plot( not easy to do as by law the cemetery can't buy it…read moreback) and buy a plot in Mt. Olivet Catholic cemetery. I stopped by as I usually do around Christmas to pay respects to most of my family buried here. I was presently surprised to find two wreaths on my veteran uncle's headstones. Probably, the VFW did this, but thanks to Galveston Memorial for allowing this to happen, and having/ keeping a well manicured park. I'm gonna hold off on selling the plot, and relocating.

This is clearly one of the largest and best organized cemeteries in the Galveston area. It is known…read moreas the Old Catholic cemetery, however there are several sub cemeteries under different names that exist within its' boundaries. There is a single 2 Lane paved road that runs right down the middle of it, and on either side are paved sidewalks that weave throughout the plots. The one thing you notice right away is how well organized and how magnificent many of the cemetery markers are. There are also quite a number of mausoleums to be found on the property. There are countless headstones dating from the latter part of the 1800s but most are from the 20th century. This cemetery is filled with the who's who of Galveston. This singular review does not even begin to explain the scale and scope of this historical cemetery. This is one of those cemeteries where you have to see it to believe it. https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2295538/old-catholic-cemetery

The Studio Experience is also a gallery with an eclectic offering of pieces, from Egyptian pieces on papyrus to anime-style art and vintage album covers. With the adjacent Milk Bar that serves the best ice cream and pastries, it's a great place to find a gift or spend a quiet hour. Look for the cow sculptures! (The building once housed a dairy.)

Bring your children to visit the animals that are located in the back. Fresh goat cheese? They got it along with Goat yogurt, flower bouquets, fresh eggs, and all the goodies you can find at a farmers market. The owner is John, and we came across this place while taking a drive. My husband loves callalou (spinach like green popular in Jamaica) and he spotted it in the farm, came over and John greeted him very kindly. Although it was closed John invited my husband in to look around. So the next time you are in Galveston pay them a visit. You'll be glad you did.

Which he did. They were patient with me although I was confused heartbroken and indecisive they are compassionate, thorough, and truly listen and hear their clients when we tell them what we want and need. the second first spoke with Ashley, Paul,and Mark, I knew I made the right choice and I trusted them with my baby. One decision I was confident I wouldn't regret. During the funeral, they kept everything organized and were graceful and professional even when their patience was tested. Still, a month and a half after he passed away, they have checked on me and my husband and 16th yr old son. I highly recommend Crowder in Pearland. Anyone who has been an ACTUAL customer of Crowder will agree.
