DON'T USE BROWN & SONS FUNERAL HOME! My experience with David Brown was horrific, uncaring,…read moreuncompassionate and lacks follow up and not a good communicator! It is almost like he gets paid by the number of words he uses to explain why he didn't do what he said he would do. All I heard from him is how busy he is and the long hours he works, each time I had to call to follow up, very disappointing, he should have been calling me! Of course, when I called him initially, he sounded caring and concerned even shared how he too lost his brother last year and this has made him a better communicator in working with the deceased family members........NOT TRUE! When he told me, my brother's death certificates would be sent registered mail, they weren't. When I asked to have them resent after waiting 8 days, he complained about the cost and how his nephew had to stand in line at the post office to resend and how much extra money that it was costing...... caring right? After he told me they would be sent registered initially! Now I'm following up on my brother's ashes and once again they were supposed to take two days via the USPS, now he is saying how horrible the postal system is because it has been 7 days! David, you need to take ownership for all the tasks you were supposed to complete as you said you would but didn't. STOP WITH ALL YOUR EXCUSES! You follow up and tell me where the ashes are, that is what I'm paying you for........service! Helping people through bereavement is not his strongest suit! He doesn't know how to work with clients! Sells a great service but NEVER follows up and doesn't want to hear from you if something is lost or he can't find the tracing numbers! The mortuary business I'm working with in California has also left him messages, but he has been too busy to call them back too! How are you still in business?

Major violation of the Privacy Act! They gave my SSN out not once but twice, your personal info is…read morenot safe here. Chose a different service

Heartwood Preserve Conservation Cemetery

I visited the Heartwood Preserve after reading an article about the facility in the Tampa Bay…read moreTimes. The grounds are open to the public during normal business hours. I walked the cemetery and the preserve. I didn't inquire info or pricing of services.. A description of what I viewed while on the property is below along with several photos. The Heartwood Preserve is a medium size property and is essentially the same environment as Starkey Park. In fact, the most southwest corner of Starkey Park borders the Heartwood Preserve. The border fence can seen on the preserve trial which is probably a quarter mile long. I walked through the cemetery portion of the property viewing two graves. Small grave markers can be seen along the trail indicating gravesites. One grave not pictured was circled by pinecones with pineneedles a top. Each gravesite was directly beside the cemetery pathway (not paved) identical to many field like trials at Starkey where many fan shaped palm fronds are. The welcome center was staffed when I visited and a separate employee was tending to the grounds and politely waved and smiled. I learned a lot by walking the property on my own and will consider burial on these grounds.
