Anyhow, I was driving through a retail shopping complex in Gainesville, VA today called the "Virginia Gateway Shopping Center," and I note that there is this big fenced in grassy area right in front of part of the retail complex. I can see that it has a sign on it - so I get out and look - it's a cemetery! The name is "The Shirley Cemetery." The sign had the following text on it: "This small family cemetery is the final resting place of Richard O. (1802-1857) and Susan (1813-1880) Shirley and possibly several of their six children. Richard Shirley was a farmer and tavern keeper who owned approximately 400 acres of land near Gainesville on the Warrenton Turnpike, modern day Route 29." I looked it up on the 'net and found that there is an entry for it in the Historical Marker Database: http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=2168

The staff is very respectful, kind and caring. I started my communication with them about 2 years before my Dad passed away and they were always quick to reply to messages, answer questions and look into anything I requested. The prices are a bit high but the quality and entire package makes it worthwhile. Everything was ready on the day of the service and all we had to do was worry about the family. Very happy with everything.

When my mother was put into Comfort Care, I had researched cremation services and pretty much knew…read morewhat I wanted before I interviewed (in person) four crematories/funeral homes. Two of them failed to disclose all their fees until I asked additional questions (based on my research), one of them was double the price of the other three, and the fourth one was Direct Cremation Services. I met with a gentleman named Kip, who didn't try to upsell me, and gave me a package that met my requests. The costs were significantly lower than the other three places. He assured me that Direct Cremation Services would take care of everything, and explained both the logistical process and the paperwork/payment process. When my mother passed away, on a weekend, Kip returned my (notification) call, emailed me the link to take care of the documents, and immediately send his team out to transport my mother's remains. He told me the paperwork could wait until Monday. Thereafter, everything went as promised, and I picked up my mother's "cremains" yesterday. An unbelievably smooth process during a difficult time. I can't recommend this place enough.

I chose Direct Cremation because of all of the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was…read morevery different from what I read. Having never been through the experience of managing the passing of a loved one, I didn't know what to expect. I arranged for DC to provide services. A few days later I bunch of emails with tasks assigned out of the blue. I called to ask about them and was directed to my funeral director who told me those were optional. A couple days later I got a contract and a payment link. Again, I called to question and let the director know we wanted to have an urn for the ashes and that I needed everything shipped to me. Shortly after, I got a new contract and a new payment link. Days passed and I called again to get status. Still waiting. A few days later, I called again. Should be done by end of week. See a pattern? No contacts by DC. Every call was made by me. The end of the week came and I finally got a call. My loved one was ready to be picked up. Wait, what? I paid for shipping. " Oh yeah, that's what I meant". Really?? Anyway, the company provided the service I paid for but communication was non existent. I don't think I ever got a "sorry for your loss" from our funeral director. Given the industry the operate in, I would have expected a little more.

This is the second cemetery I have been to on Yelp and this one is more peaceful that the first. The water near the cemetery attracts living animals and people. Some people come here to pay respects to their loved ones. Some come to clear their minds of things. Some like me come to take in the beautiful and peaceful scenery. I was suprisingly intrigued to see some civil war generals graphed onto stone. I had to get pictures of these. Immediately I was brought back to the movies Gettysburg and Gods and Generals. More importantly the music by Danny Elfman came to my mind. There is a lot to do around here in Manassas Virginia and I hope to come back here next week with my wife. Guess we will see how the weather is. *I might have more to say later on today.*
