It's been over a month and we have been visiting East Lawn weekly and so far everything has been…read morekept very cleaned. If there are any trash, most likely caused by the four turkeys that have been raiding the grave for foods. They are harmless, so leave them alone. We noticed that the weekends are quite busy here, so it tells us that lots of the family are living nearby also to visit on a regular basis.

My only critique is that each time I have visited the grave, the metal flower tube has been emptied…read moreof dead flowers, BUT not been returned to original upside down/closed position. All other graveyards I have been to, have caretakers who do this when removing the dead floral arrangements. SO, I have had to dump and rinse out the metal vases and because they have been sitting for months, they smell FOUL and are full of mud. Caretakers can and should do better.

I used this funeral home's services for my mother. Craig, the funeral home director, was very kind…read moreand accommodating when I required their services to pick up the body after closing time on a Friday. He was able to get a crew out there to remove the body within a couple hours, which I was super thankful for. Craig walked me through the entire process from getting the body to getting the final death certificate and ashes, which is more involved than I realized. It took about 10 days to get the death certificate and urn with her ashes. Total cost for the body removal, cremation, death certificate and urn came to around $3-4k, and this would vary significantly if you choose to hold a service there, choose embalming, or select different urns. There were a few hiccups I should mention: - Error in the draft death certificate that delayed things a couple days - The urn I got (there's a big catalog you're given) I realized doesn't even fit most basic urn vaults available at cemeteries. I had no idea this was even a requirement, so be sure to consider that. Also note that you don't necessarily need to purchase an urn from the funeral home if you want to handle that later. But overall I had a really good experience with this funeral home and greatly appreciated the service and care they provided.

Please Beware....This cemetery is not about the family. I do not want to go into details because…read moreits traumatic. This cemetery did me and my deceased daughter wrong. They will not take any accountability for their actions or ex employee actions. At the end of the day they are money hungry. Nothing can fix what they did but its the principle of the matter. Accountability. Please, I know this cemetery is extremely affordable being government ran but what they did and the trauma me and my family have had to endure is beyond words. I wish I could go into details but it's absolutely horrific and no one should have had to go thru. My advice if you have to use this cemetery please ask the person helping you how long he or she has worked for them because if he or she is new and they leave and something goes wrong or bad like it did in my case the cemetery's management team will do absolutely nothing to resolve the issue. That employee is no longer there. Please just beware!

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.

I've used Yelp for several years without making an account by simply just reading reviews. I think…read morethe fact that I finally decided to make one just to write this review is telling of how disappointed and frustrated I am. I do want to preface that all of the staff I've worked and interacted with are all very nice and kind. But that doesn't mean they are good at what they do. I've been extremely upset with the amount of miscommunication and unprofessionalism regarding my mom's funeral services, which literally just happened yesterday and the day before. No one notified me or made sure I knew what to bring and what to prepare for her funeral. I felt like they just assumed I knew everything. They also had no idea where my mom's clothing was for a moment, even though they were dropped off at the front desk and was signed off. Another instance was when we arrived to the cemetery for committal, one of my family members asked one of the staff there if the burial site we were next to was for my mom. They said yes, even though it was for someone else. Do you guys talk to each other and even know what's happening? I also got an absolute earful about what I should do during the procession for what felt like 5-10 minutes straight by one of the funeral directors. Like dude I just lost my mom while 23 years old, and you're talking to me like you're my football coach? I would've loved a more concise explanation of what to expect and what to do instead of a long-winded one. It even could've been an email or a printed paper with instructions and I would be fine. There were also issues with my mom's death certificate being cleared and approved, which I understand and acknowledge that it was an issue with the county and not the funeral center themselves. My family and I were waiting for almost three hours before my mom was finally buried, and after 2 1/2 hours, they finally decided to provide us with a tent and a bucket of ice for our waters as my family and I were out in the sun the entire time with no tent or shade. I appreciate their efforts to address the issues at hand, but I did not appreciate how slow they were. I think the absolute kicker is how they left my mom's flowers after the committal, as seen in the photos provided. I don't think it takes that much effort to make flowers look nice and presentable, and it definitely would not have killed them to take the flowers off of the stands and put them in the empty vases. I hope they improve and do better for other families, but by looking at the amount of previous reviews and when they were written, it seems like that will not be happening for a while.
