I attempted to get hold of someone in charge at the funeral home and the unfortunate recipient of my phone call was Alfredo who was not able to transfer me to someone in charge of the funeral home. (Which I am assuming and actually already know are the McDougal family of funeral homes in Taylorsville Utah). I can't begin to express my distaste and displeasure of feeling violated by receiving this piece of junk mail in my mailbox today. Seriously, this violates any human and moral code of ethics as far as I'm concerned. I don't give a crap if you bought some permit and got a mailing list off the internet. Don't you EVER send this kind of GARBAGE to me or anyone else that's not soliciting your services.

It's flat, and there are several large, mature trees so you've got shade and peace and quiet. It's best to access from 900 East. There's a small sign and uphill road that comes east off of 9th just south of 45th. Take that for a block or so and it appears on your left. Hopefully you're not out cruising Yelp to find cemeteries to go hang out in. Because it's creepy, that's why. But if you were, this small hidden one will do.

We had the privilege of working with Frank and Tanner at Independent Funeral Services - a father…read moreand son team - for my dad, Terry Browning's, service. From the very beginning, they didn't feel like "funeral directors." They felt like family. They made our family feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for during one of the most emotional weeks of our lives. There was something incredibly grounding about the way they worked together - steady, kind, and human. We loved that about them. They are the kind of people you would invite to a family gathering or even a camping trip. That may sound unusual to say about a funeral home, but it speaks to the warmth and authenticity they brought into the room. They truly went above and beyond to accommodate our quirky family and all the meaningful details we wanted included. Nothing felt like too much. They handled everything with professionalism, dignity, and heart. We are deeply grateful for the way they cared for our dad and for us.

They went above and beyond to be responsive to our needs. Brian helped us through all the necessary arrangements at the mortuary and Mike went with us to the cemetery in Tooele. His attentiveness but unobtrusiveness were extraordinary. Sadly, this isn't our extended family's first experience with death but it was our first experience with Memorial. I highly recommend them. Not only didn't they add to the trauma they sheparded us through a terrible time in a such a tender way. As the grandma I wanted to be sure they were gentle with the baby and his parents. They absolutely were respectful and thoughtful. Thank you.

They were so caring about our family and the wishes that we had to make my Mom's funeral what we had anticipated and what my mother had requested. I've seen many people prepared for burial, and my Mother looked so serene and beautiful. They were on top of all the details. They are a family owned business, and the care shows. Laura, the owner was always helpful, Jeff and his son Scott handled our funeral services so professionally, they were there for our family every step of the way. Their After Care Specialist, Marcus is such a great asset, he helped us navigate this sorrowful time with care. I would definitely use their services again in the future were the need to arise.

I am the next of kin and…read morewas present with my younger brother at the funeral home when we discussed and agreed that I would serve as the informant. We were both in the same room at the time, and this was the understanding when the information for the death certificate was being provided. However, after I briefly stepped outside to gather myself, the informant was later changed to my younger brother. I was never notified that this change occurred, nor was I provided any explanation or documentation indicating who authorized the change or why it was made. This change has had real consequences. Because I am no longer listed as the informant, I have encountered difficulties while attempting to organize matters related to my mother's estate, including communicating with institutions, arranging payment plans for the home, and coordinating responsibilities that affect the estate and my younger brother's inheritance. I would also like to address the tone of our most recent phone conversation. During that call, I was told that the funeral home "did not care" and that the only concern was that the funeral home needed to be paid. I approached that conversation respectfully and in good faith, and I found that response to be inappropriate and unprofessional, particularly given the sensitive nature of working with grieving families. Losing my best friend has been the most painful thing in my life, I don't understand why everybody else had such good fulfilling respectful help when I just got completely violated and I'm being so disrespected to the point where I'm being ignored and now this is so unnecessary by legal action has to be taken. I don't understand and I wish my mom was here to help me do this . The least anybody could do is to be honest, good hearted, and empathetic.

Of all the national cemeteries I have visited, this was the most challenging. Not because it's…read morehard to find -- just the opposite -- but was hard to get onto the grounds. Surrounded by medical buildings, there isn't much space for parking and with only about 4 acres surrounded by metal fencing, it's easy to make a decision to pay respects from a distance and move on. The historical significance of this location is worth the frustration. Most markers are mid to late 19th century but there are a very few more recent burials. It's a beautiful cemetery, with locust trees along the edge balancing the large sandstone memorial markers. As I walked through, I noticed several "wife" and "child" markers, either civilians or relatives of the soldiers who served at Fort Douglas. It's an uncomfortable realization that a couple of the memorials in this cemetery are for what is now horrific: the sandstone monument for the soldiers killed in an attack on a Shoshone camp and a granite monument marking the internment of German POWs during the first world war. With all that, however, the local community still acknowledges the military of those long gone, with the Memorial Day flags. There were no flowers placed on any of the markers at this cemetery, but as I was leaving, a woman arrived with a huge bag of flowers, and began laying them on the ground. It's good to know that some still remember.

This is a great historical cemetery associated with the Fort Douglas National Historic Landmark…read more It was established in 1862 under the direction of the first commanding officer, Colonel Patrick Edward Connor. The cemetery is still associated with the active military presence of Fort Douglas and is formally administered by staff at Fort Carson in Colorado; however, the local Fort Douglas Museum staff is the best place to go to get the scoop on the history and any upcoming events. The cemetery has a number of famous burials including a monument to Army Soldiers killed during the famous Bear River Massacre of 1863; James Duane Doty, Utah Territorial Governor 1863-1865; General Patrick Connor, first commander of Fort Douglas; members of U.S. Army's 24th Infantry Regiment (Buffalo Soldiers); and the nine German POW victims killed during the Salina Massacre in July 1945. Some say the cemetery is haunted and local paranormal groups do tours and inquiries every year around Halloween. It is open dawn to dusk everyday.

Following the recent passing of my mother, our family was so grateful for the staff at Larkin…read moreMortuary and Larkin Sunset Gardens. Elijah and his co-worker were so gentle and respectful as they arrived at my parents' home to retrieve my mother's body. They showed up in nice suits and took their time transferring my mother to the gurney. The lovely quilt they used to cover her was such a thoughtful touch. They were sensitive to our heightened emotions and did their work with great care and respect. Similarly, the staff at Larkin Sunset Gardens were professional and considerate as we planned my mother's funeral. Aaron Miller and Garrett Nelson were helpful while reviewing with us my parents' pre-planned burial arrangements and planning my mother's funeral. I was relieved that we were not hustled into paying more than necessary and that Larkin honored the terms of the arrangements that my parents had previously made and paid for. When it came time to dress my mother, Funeral Director Coltin Morrison was gentle and helpful. He worked with great care to assist us. I appreciated that he took the extra step to steam my mother's clothing before we dressed her. Finally, during my mother's funeral, the Larkin staff who assisted us there were professional and thorough in taking care of all the necessary details. All in all, the experience of saying goodbye to a loved one is very emotional and heart-wrenching. It was good to depend on the staff at Larkin Mortuary and Larkin Sunset Gardens to see us through the process of burying my mother. My husband and I were so impressed that we returned to buy plots next to my parents' plots. We trust that Larkin will take good care of us when our own time arrives.
