There are at least ten markers that highlight the cemetery's famous spots. One is a war memorial, dedicated to Sgt. Joshua Rodgers, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2017 while serving his country. A part of the cemetery is named for him. A plane crash memorial is also present, in which an actual plane crashed into a tree at the cemetery. Abraham Lincoln literally once stood at Evergreen Cemetery during the funeral of his friend, Ward Hill Lamon's first wife, who is buried here. Three tree carving sculptures are found here (as of 2020): the plane crash memorial, the Dorothy statue and one of Old Hoss Radbourne.

I would just like to begin by saying I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this establishment to everyone. I was…read morevery well taken care of from the beginning, 8 years ago, to the end, 2 days ago. First off, I have to mention Chad Sparks, one of the Funeral Director, who took care of me in the beginning. I was very impress with his professionalism. He was very thorough in explaining the preneed options, there was no pressure for upsale or to make any decisions that I wasn't to make at that time. He was also very patient in answering all my questions, the preneed ones and also my non-preneed questions. Thank you Chad your help and care in the beginning, speaking with you always made feel I made the right choice. Then there's Christopher Leman, another Funderal Director, he was just amazing with helping guide me through the final process. His manner was just right amount of professionalism, caring and comfort, I didn't feel like I was part of a job, but as if he knew me and my family. And there was a particular thing that he did and didnot do, that I thanked him for personally. That will keep between him and I, because I think it is only something that would make a difference to the person who notices it. And it made a world of difference to me, so I thank you again for that Christopher. Everything that I choosed 8yrs ago was still in place and available at the time it was needed. Everyone I came in contact with from the receptionists, to maintainance to the Directors, all were very pleasant to interact with. So yes, if you are in need of this service, definitely give Beck Memorial a call, they will take wonderful care of you and your family!
