The Salesman told me that any money not used towards the funeral I could just get in a check.My father passed away and now he's telling me that I have to spend all of it with the funeral home I cannot get any of it back I feel scammed. And this is the same salesman that had told me just a month ago that they do it all the time and I would get $1,250 unless I wanted to use any of it for services or other keepsakes. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem?

African-American and White sections contain many of the founding families from the small agriculture centered community of Fellsmere which was founded in 1911. The cemetery is much older however and is one of the oldest cemeteries in Indian River County. The land for the cemetery was donated to the city of Fellesmere by Fellsmere Farms in 1916 but there are unmarked graves in the oldest section of the cemetery from the 1880's. Brookside contains an array of markers, homemade brick, cement, and modern engraved granite. Prominent people are buried here as well as the the lesser known turpentine workers who worked in the pine camps that is now the St. Sebastian River State Buffer Preserve. The city of Fellsemere maintains the cemetery. Across from the historic cemetery is the entrance to another piece of history, the rails to trails project. The abandoned Trans-Florida Central Railway trails have been turned into hiking trails. The trail is a 2-mile hiking and biking pathway sitting in a former railroad corridor that once connected Sebastian and Fellsmere. The centerpiece of the trail is the iconic bridge over Interstate-95 where the name of the trail is displayed prominently in huge letters across the span of the bridge. It was designed to look like an old trail bridge. Though the railroad trail is about 15 miles long, only 2 miles of trail have been completed.

Our loved one passed on Christmas Eve morning and with one call, Jeff was there to take her into their care. Their kindness, compassion and respect for both our deceased loved one and those handling the arrangements was unparalleled. Jeff's guidance on how to bring our loved one back to NY to her final resting place was spot on. Delta TSA was kind and respectful when bringing her ashes through security. To my heart warming surprise, I learned that our loved ones ashes were formed in the shape of a heart.

This area of Florida was a far different place when these men were alive than it is today. I sometimes admire the strength of these people who called Florida home when it was little more than a swampland. This graveyard is by no means big, however I am very happy that I stumbled across it. If you find yourself in the area, I would definitely recommend a visit here.
