The spouse and I made our annual trip to Springhill Cementry to decorate gravesites of 10 family…read moremembers. When we arrived, we found one headstone broken; I was not a happy camper. At the business I met Gwyn Winstead the manager of operations. She explained they had experienced a horrific ice storm earlier in the year and the ice brought 100-year trees and limbs down on the gravesite resulting in damage. Ms. Gwyn explained the insurance company had recently settled a claim for damages and she assured me the gravesite would be repaired. To carry things a step further she insisted we show her exactly where the gravesite was. After she inspected the headstone and assured us the stone would be repaired, she asked if we'd like a tour of the grounds. Of course, we said yes! Ms. Gwyn was an excellent historian as well as tour guide. She answered many questions and solved mysteries I had wonder about my entire life. Ms. Gwyn commented as we started our tour, she loved her job; halfway through the tour it occurred to me, she was serious. Ms. Gwyn truly loves her job, loves Springhill and ensures the folks resting there are taken care of. The spouse and I have been in discussion for over a year as to where we should choose as a final resting place. We were considering Arkansas or California; neither were appealing. After our tour we almost said at the same time; this is the place. We told Ms. Gwyn our plan and she promptly introduced us to Tonja Hebrank who is a planning advisor. Ms. Tonja was AWESOME! extremely patient, suggested issues to address that never occurred to us. There was no pressure to purchase anything or to upgrade what we wanted. Ms. Gwyn and Ms. Tonja turned what was expected to be a depressing and morbid experience into a very pleasant and lighthearted experience; there were a few tears but there was also a lot of laughing and fellowship. When we left the Springhill business office, we felt good about our decision to be at Springhill, felt good with our purchase and most importantly felt good about the 2 individuals that helped guide us through the process. Ms. Gwyn and Ms. Tonja, these ladies are not pretentious; they love what they do, love serving families and that love radiates from them. To be honest; the entire experience was so pleasant I wouldn't mind doing it all over again!

He contacted the life insurance company he purchased his policy from and they sent Terra Blessing at Spring Hill the "release of assignment" on 1/4/2022. I spoke with David Thain and he confirmed Terra had the paper work and she would call back. I have followed 5 time( today is 1/17/2022) and left messages but to no avail. I'm confused on why they would treat anyone this way. Please Terra simply call me back. Thank you. Follow up: Terra called me back shortly after this review was posted.

With occasional distant train sounds interrupting the tranquility, you almost don't even notice it because you're in such a zen when walking around the area. Nashville National Cemetery is a U.S. National Cemetery was established in 1867. It spans 64 acres and is the burial ground for veterans of various U.S. military conflicts, including the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. There are about 12,000 Civil War era interments, including several thousand unknown soldiers, who are laid to rest here. Around 34,000+ people are interred in total. I do not have any relatives that I know of, buried in Nashville National Cemetery, but I still enjoy visiting because I like to pay my respects to those who served our country. The cemetery is maintained by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It honors the memory of fallen service people by hosting ceremonies and events that include Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and during the holidays. During the holidays, Wreaths Across America participate in laying wreaths on all of the gravestones. I enjoy participating in Wreaths Across America, but I'll admit, I haven't done it here. It is great that people do participate and care enough to pay attention to those who made this cemetery their final resting place. It is quite a vast landscape, and you will notice it first thing when you visit. It is easy to get caught up reading the names in the varying sections and the history signs that the cemetery has posted. Pay attention to some of the history signs so you can educate yourself more on its history. It is worth it.

What an interesting cemetery. I know it's probably an odd thing to say about a cemetery, but it's…read morea fitting word. Although NNC still has the traditional white markers lined with military precision, the markers are laid sometimes in a semi circle to parallel the curves in the roads leading through the cemetery. There's a mix of tall markers and of those flat to the ground, there's even some monument-style markers, all combining to make this an visually interesting national cemetery. And, if that's not enough, there's a railroad track running through the middle of the cemetery. There are several upright cannons, one of which gives the numbers buried here, both named and unknown as of 1874, and a Minnesota Monument commemorating the number of that state's soldiers lost during the War. Some sections have markers facing opposite directions from each other, or set at an angle. It's seems almost haphazardly arranged, but maximizes the space. It's a huge cemetery. It's also a noisy one. The day I visited, the groundskeepers were doing the work that keeps these places pristine. But in the section on the other side of the tracks, the noise from the nearby road never let up. I guess it's fitting in some way, having the noise to keep the living grounded as they remember the reason for the visit. Sixty acres and over 33,000 burials, beginning from the Battle of Nashville through the present. That's a lot of heartbreaking noise.
