There's a mixture of older tombstones and some that are more recent. There's kind of an eerie feeling when walking around and it's sad to see the children who have died. The cemetery overlooks a nice valley so great photo ops of nature. I didn't take too many photos inside the cemetery because it didn't feel right, but I do have one of the plaque right in front that explains the history behind the cemetery. Definitely a must see if you are in the area.

It's cool to see how many of the original pioneers in the valley were from England or Ireland. You can also recognize names from the streets in the surrounding neighborhoods.

And a small request: Please pick up any trash you happen to find on the cemetery grounds if you do visit.

Any request we made were accommodated without any questions asked. John and the staff has been very respectful and professionals. When we had questions, they would answer the question or find another person to answer. When we asked for something to be done whether in the a small detail to a larger, they did it. It was nice to feel welcome in Delano Mortuary during this difficult time. We asked for a live stream so that family from Germany, Philippines, Indiana and Fairfield could see the funeral. John did it. We asked for our playlist to be played instead of instrumental, Delano Mortuary did it. We asked for the casket to be lifted so we could go under, Delano Mortuary did it. I am very impress with the professionalism and respect that Delano Mortuary showed my family during this grieving time.

I worked closely with Christina, who guided me through the funeral planning process with grace and empathy. She listened patiently to all my questions, comments, and concerns, and made sure I understood each detail before making any decisions. I appreciated how she respected my privacy and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Every change I requested was communicated clearly, and I felt truly supported throughout the entire process. I was especially grateful for the private time I was given with my father in the days leading up to the service something I will never forget. On the day of the funeral, everything went exactly as planned. Frank was incredibly kind and personable, helping ensure the service flowed smoothly and on schedule. His presence and professionalism brought a sense of calm to what was otherwise a very emotional day. Following the service, we moved directly across the parking lot to the reception venue, where I worked with Jessica as our event coordinator. Jessica was outstanding she helped plan every detail of our potluck reception, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure the space was beautifully arranged. Her professionalism and warmth were evident from our planning meeting through the day of the event. I was very pleased with the overall package we selected and the quality of service provided by both the funeral chapel and the event venue. During a time of deep sorrow, Salser & Dillard gave me peace of mind and allowed my family to focus on honoring and remembering my father. I am truly thankful for the care and support I received from the entire team.
