I would see Gayle walking the property with his weed eater and personally tending to areas sensitive to a mover even after he suffered a stroke. Thank you Gayle and to your family for your love and attention to details. I appreciate all of your many years and to your dedication. Now that Canal Winchester City owns the property and has it managed by a private company there might be some changes, but so far, the property is well kept.

My parents, brother, both sets of grandparents, 2 aunts and 2 uncles are buried in this cemetery…read moreand one day I will be also--not by my choice! Every time I go to my parent's and brother's grave sites as well as those of my Dad's parents who are buried right next to them, they are a mess. My Dad and brother both have stones at the foot of their graves and most of the time you can't even read them due to weeds. The headstones are seldom trimmed around and so I try to do it, but being handicapped it is extremely difficult for me. However when I go to my other grandparents aunts and uncles sites they are trimmed and looking good! When I asked who to complain to, I was told they trim them all the time--yet I go there a LOT and always found the same thing---till I complained! I have been there 2 times since and they have been better--not perfect, but better!

I always bring a weed eater to do grave clean ups. However today there was no need. All the graves were perfectly groomed. The entries cemetery was beautiful. I have been coming several times a year for more than 30 years and usually spend a few hours weed eating and such. There was nothing for me to do today. Besides placing flowers. I don't know if they changed landscapers but hope this is the standard going forward. A very pleasant surprise.

The staff at CFH were incredible in every way. They had the kindest and gentlest spirit and gave us peace of mind that my sister was being well cared for. The staff were happy to communicate via phone call or text and were very accessible. They answered all of my questions promptly. The cost for the services was exactly as expected-- same as all of the area funeral homes. I highly recommend working with Cotner Funeral Home if the need arises. They will take good care of your family and lost loved one.

How I wish Mom had given me instructions. Did she want to he laid to rest in Pittsburgh where she…read morespent nearly all her life? She never grooved on Central Ohio. A burial out of town was fairly complicated even without a funeral service, expensive too. Did she want me to regularly visit her, bring her flowers and balloons and gossip with her? Or did she want to go back to her and mine beloved Pittsburgh? But like so many, she was convinced she would live forever and avoided the conversation. Hubby and I chose Glen Rest. Our other option, Forest Lawn, by 270 and Broad St was noisy, hard to get into (even dangerous) and they kept pushing to get us to buy multiple plots. Forest Lawn's hard sale was a turnoff. I crossed them off the list. Glen Rest understood the sadness of selecting a gravesite and took us to see several graves when I described what I wanted. I wanted a pretty one, near the trees where Mom could watch the birds. It is a beautifully manicured cemetery. I could buy a marker from them or go elsewhere. I am still torn. I wish she was home in Pittsburgh but I am glad that I can visit her here as often as I like. I notice that there are areas for babies. And areas for those who are cremated. Glen Rest made a sad decision tolerable.

From the very first phone call, Mr. Kip Shaw was AMAZING. As someone coming from out of town, I truly appreciated the utmost respect he showed me. ​The pricing was fantastic and, more importantly, honest--the initial quote was exactly what I paid, with no surprises. Mr. Kip made me feel at ease during every interaction, and the entire staff was extremely pleasant. They took wonderful care of my brother and made a difficult process much easier. If you are local or from out of town, please trust Shaw & Davis with your loved ones.

It is absolutely beautiful with big shady trees and winding paths. It's totally quiet and peaceful - we saw a deer nibbling on grass there last night. It is a perfect place for an evening walk, and there are some beautiful headstones, much older than I would have expected (I saw at least one where the person being honored was born in the 1700s). I was very happy to see that they encourage (leashed) dog walking and are very welcoming to the community. I am definitely going to add this to my list of places to bring my dog for an outing. There is even a water pump for flowers or dog bowls right in the middle of the grounds. What a beautiful neighborhood gem, so glad we discovered it.
