Instead of cremains at their Kent location where we started, I was told to go get them myself in Green, an hour and a half trip, or pay $100 to pick them up in Kent, and they had no intention of helping with any of that. Getting them in Green is a big problem because you have to make an appointment for only when it suits them, just between 9 and 3 which is bad enough for people who have a job but their availability to meet you is so limited it makes date and time choices way too restrictive.

As far as local cemeteries go, Homeland is significantly cleaner and well maintained compared to…read moreother burial sites. Although the very back of the lot is a bit of an eyesore (you can clearly see into the houses surrounding the property) it's nothing a few trees couldn't fix. The layout is spacious and offers plenty of room if you have a large family attending services, the graves are clear of any unwanted debris & it is surprisingly quiet considering it is off of two main roads. There is also a plot booklet to help you find a specific grave (although this could use some repairs)and navigate the cemetery easily. One of the things I liked about this cemetery is that although there are a number of gravestones that are broken (due to age), they are nicely stacked against the base of the gravestone. I cannot say that I have seen the same respect & care at other local cemeteries.
