It was somber and very personal so I see why someone would choose to go this route. It opened my eyes to a different view of the traditional process of a funeral.

The trails to the left, on the other hand, are well- lit and sunny. On our most recent visit, my husband and I stumbled upon a very small cemetery. I thought that it might have been a pet cemetery due to its size, but after some quick research, my husband was able to find information regarding the family that it is believed to have belonged to. It was both creepy and cool at the same time. We walked a loop that was surprisingly dense at points and I was amazed at the fact that we didn't pop back out onto the main trail as quickly as I'd thought we would. There were some very steep slopes at points that were marked with cones that I found to be quite dangerous, but it's nature, so what are you going to do?! I love the preservation of this natural/ wild space. The sound of the birds in the forest canopy is calming and there are several places to stop, have s seat and just listen. There is also at least one of those tiny community libraries located there, as well as many other interesting features.

And they've given our religious school students gracious and full backstage tours at the mortuary so they understand Jewish practices relating to death, burial and mourning. Today was particularly special through. I was regretting my decision not to bring my coat to a burial, so the ARN staff found one that fit me and lent it to me. That's right, Indianapolis, ARN Mortuary will literally give you THE COAT OFF THEIR BACK to support you. We should be thankful for such a pillar of support in our community.

My sister had bought cremation services with Neptune Society several years ago. I had called them…read moreto change her address and was treated politely. After her passing, hospice called them to have them pick up sister's body. It was actually a Sunday morning and we were not his first "pickup". So it took some time for him to come. He apologized but was very respectful. On Monday Linda, from office, called and set up appointment for me to come to office and sign paperwork. She was very courteous and sensitive. She explained they had some add-ons we could do but understood that I was not interested. She said that there was jewelry available but I told her I had already purchased what we needed. I asked her about spreading ashes in ocean (like the picture on wall). She told me she would get back with me with details of that procedure. On Friday she called to let me know that the death certificates were in office and asked if I wanted mailed. I told her I would come by to pick up. She showed me details of the company they use to spread ashes in ocean which was about 5 times more that I had arranged privately. She understood. The following week, Jenn, from the office called to say they had the ashes. I told her I would come by to pick up. She explained the certificates that came in the box. We mentioned that I had some jewelry purchased (from Amazon). She was so kind to offer to put ashes into my jewelry. She says she does it everyday and has lots of experience. So I took the jewelry back to her (along with superglue I had bought so jewelry would not come "loose"). Within 15 minutes she had the jewelry filled (and glued). I tried to pay her for the service and she politely said "no, no, we are not allowed". Bottom line, I was NOT pressured into buying something I did not want nor need. The contract was honored. Service that I needed was provided.
