Point 1: my mom and a lot of old neighbors are buried there. I myself do not go there to visit anyone as I am not bringing anyone back home with me. But, there are quite a few people who take comfort in having their loved ones nearby, including my brother. During that first year, he went up there everyday to visit my mom's gravesite. Other family members of long gone neighbors apparently do the same. Point 2: my brother, me and The Doctor are slated to buried next to my mom. I say that because I have the real estate there, but I am not sure if I will be going there. I am planning to be burned and scattered someone after a great party, details still being worked out. Point 3: it really is kind of pretty as it looks like a park on the surface. Lots of deers roaming around. Little places to sit. Sometimes you see little picnics on people's markers (hard liquor, little cakes, etc). They used to do Santa, easter egg hunts, etc, back in the day. Don't know if they still do or not. I never went to any of these events because it was in a cemetery and that is creepy. But a lot of people use to go to these events take photos. Is this the best cemetery in the world? Nope, but the times I have been there for intermits, it has been nicely done. But I will go back to the zombie angle, I think they wander there. Years ago, I use to walk in tere for exercise because I didn't have to worry about cars and crossing streets. But on this particular day, I swear I saw one walking towards me a la Night of the Living Day. That guy was in a dark suit and was pasty whitish grey...I didn't try to analyze the situation, I just ran towards the entrance and went home. My mom (who was alive at the time) laughed and asked how did I know it was zombie, maybe it was one of the funeral directors. No idea, wasn't going to stop and find out.

I had the misfortune of attending the service for my first cousin's wife, who passed away too young…read moreat the age of 68. The review is for the service itself, not what my family experienced in making the arrangements. But if full disclosure, they had no complaints. Gatling has two floor and what looks like a basement as well. You can walk up stairs to the rooms on the second floor, but there are also elevators for those that need it. The room itself was well maintained and the sound system was good. The service itself was very well organized. It started on time and the pastor conducting the service kept everything on time and moving as intended. I was most impressed that they respectfully told the crowd that only certain representatives of my cousin's family and friends would be allowed to speak; everyone else could share their stories at the repass. I loved this. While everyone in each group got to go up on the stage, one person spoke for them. My first cousin (the husband) did not go up, but that was cool as it was his choice to let his kids have their say. The entire experience was handled very professionally. I was impressed at level of professionalism of the staff. Everyone was courtesy in greeting me, directing me to the location where the service was being held. The parking staff was also nice, directing me to a space that would allow me to leave early as I had another memorial event to attend later that day. They still have the screen outside for drive by visits, but it was not on that day. Yes the decor is dated but it was clean. I loved that the staff were all in they same uniforms for the most part. There were 1-2 gentlemen who were in suits, but the maroon colors were a nice touch. All in all, for a sad event, this was handled in a well organized manner. You tend not to want to think about future plans, but this would be a place on my list. Professional, organized and on point with the time management.

When we arrived, the first "sorry for your loss" came with no eye contact and sounded like a bored,…read morerehearsed script -- and that set the tone for everything that followed. It became clear very quickly that this funeral home is focused on money and volume, not compassion or care. Our service was rushed from start to finish. We were repeatedly interrupted with unrelated parking announcements. In the middle of my mother's honoring song -- a moment that mattered deeply to us -- the staff told us to turn the volume down so they could make yet another announcement. Although we arrived on time, they still cut our service short just to move on to the next one. Her slideshow wasn't even properly set up. Only one screen was turned on, leaving half the room unable to see her photos and memories. That level of carelessness during a final tribute is unacceptable. There were no tissues for mourners, no direction or support from staff, and no sense of leadership to help guide us through such an important moment. The entire experience felt cold, rushed, and transactional. To make things worse, they removed one of her songs from the obituary without explanation or permission. That was a personal detail we carefully chose to honor her life -- and they simply erased it. For a service that cost nearly $10,000, we expected respect, professionalism, and a facility that reflects dignity. Instead, the aesthetics are dated, uninviting, and in need of serious investment. The staff appears untrained, overwhelmed, and more focused on packing in back-to-back services than honoring the people entrusted to them. My family has used this funeral home for years, but after this experience, that ends with me. My mother deserved better, and families deserve to know what they're walking into. I hope people start paying attention and choose a place that truly cares instead of one that treats grief like a business transaction.
