It's beautiful, old, and fairly unkept (weeds, vines, stickers, fire ants). Drivable/accessible. Susanna Dickinson - section 1, Lot 363 located in the southwest end of the old cemetery. Including info because it's hard to find specifics. Blurry map available online. Bio: Susanna Dickinson was the wife of Captain Almaron Dickinson and was the sole adult Anglo survivor that witnessed the massacre at the Battle of the Alamo. On the morning of March 6, 1836, as the troops of General Antonio López de Santa Anna stormed the mission, Captain Dickinson ran to his wife, reported that all was lost, and expressed hope that she could save herself and their child. Although he died at the Alamo, his wife and child Angelina survived. Following the fall of the Alamo, Susanna was escorted from the Alamo mission, interviewed by Santa Anna himself and sent by him with a message to Sam Houston. She was a strong woman survivor and remained a patriot of Texas, but the memory of those days would haunt her the rest of her life. Bio by: John "J-Cat" Griffith

This is Austin's oldest cemetery, with burials dating back to the 1830's. These days, you see so…read moremany of the perfectly manicured cemeteries with the evenly spaced, well-polished gravestones. The older section of Oakwood cemetery is just as painted by literature and movies - crumbled down gravestones, crawling vines, unnamed dead, multiple generations of families buried together, and wrought iron fencing. Go find the graves of John Henry Faulk, Andrew Jackson Hamilton, and Ima Hogg! I hope I have not disturbed any of the dead during my visits there or my Yelp review. I simply like to stroll through Oakwood and take in the haunted beauty. Just thought I'd share one of my favorite, lesser known spots.

My wife and I have finally reached that age where we feel it's time to look for that forever home…read more The remembrance gardens is a place where you can have your ashes interred for a lot less money than "for profit" businesses, and it qualifies as a tax deduction since it is tied to the church. Just to clarify, there are no bodily burials here, strictly cremated ones (you can even add your cremated pet). The memorial gardens are beautifully sculpted into the sloping hillside and includes a gravely trail behind it that runs by a creek. I noticed that along the creek trail there appeared to be additional interments along the path. This short path eventually dead ends into a hillside where you have to turn around and go back. Most people opt for the white limestone marker, but you can also get granite as well. One thing that became apparent is that there does not seem to be many open spaces left (the good news is that they are adding more). You'll find an above ground mausoleum on site as well. There is an office at the main entrance for more detailed information, but it's best to make an appointment since it is not always manned, especially during the lunch hour. You can check out their website where you can find more information. The 10 photos and videos included don't fully capture the scope of this place.

When our…read morebeautiful13-year-old daughter passed from Ewing Sarcoma at MDA in Houston, we were initially transferred to another facility for cremation -- a rushed process that left us uneasy because the facility was so cold and nothing like what we expected for our sweet girl. Late that evening, while searching for a place that would truly honor her, we found Cremation.Green. We called close to 9 p.m., and Laci answered with such compassion and understanding. She immediately helped us make arrangements, and by the next morning, they sent a vehicle and our daughter was lovingly brought to their farm. The experience was beyond what we could have hoped for. We were able to watch the entire cremation and send her off ourselves -- something that brought immense peace and closure. The facility was modern, serene, and absolutely beautiful, with a viewing room designed in the warmest, most comforting way imaginable. When we walked out with her ashes, the wind was softly blowing, and the trees and windmill seemed to wave us on. In that moment, we felt a deep sense of calm and gratitude. We are forever thankful to Cremation.Green for creating such a sacred, dignified, and loving space for our little birdie's farewell.

The staff was extremely unprofessional and refused to let us speak to the manager of the establishment. Because we asked to speak to management several times with multiple issues such as being late with the viewing, forgetting his personal items, forgetting items that were suppose to be on the casket, etc... staff became extremely rude and defensive and shooting ugly looks to our family. This was the worst treatment of our deceased and living loved ones that I have ever encountered.

Staff- very helpful and kind, even to visitors. There was a lot of extended friend/family drama going down, and the two gentlemen up front were helpful and discrete. 2. Generous parking. It can be a bit tricky turning into the lot across Lamar, but there is access from the street behind the building - and the 32nd street light makes that easier. 3. Well laid out, several options fro side rooms and seating for guests to gather. This was helpful considering the variety of people in attendance, there were children, babies, adult children, and step families. Having different areas to gathered help keep things smooth without scratchy situations flaring up. (That was later) 4. The family felt like "good" about how things were handled. The last thing they needed was more stress, so it was very nice to see them content with the arrangements.
