This alone makes for a landmark of profound historical importance when you consider the active influence Kendall had in national affairs during his lifetime and its enduring impact. By way of Franklin Pierce, 14th US President, he is also related to the Barbara Pierce Bush family. His grave next to his wife Adeline Suzanne de Valcourt, who was born in the shadow of Versailles, is so eloquent in its simplicity, a flat marker made from simple aggregate. At its foot a plaque installed by the Texas Historical Commission in 1989. There is a small shaded area for parking and a map of the cemetary on display to guide you.

The first was conducted at Sisterdale Cemetery in Sisterdale, TX, and the second took place several hours later at Boerne Cemetery. The former site is not listed on Yelp, so I am including my findings and observations here. If you are new to the field of ITC, then please scroll to the bottom of this review for an explanation. Sisterdale Cemetery is a small burial site consisting of approximately 100 graves, many of them belonging to Germans who settled the surrounding area. I'm not sure what compelled me to visit such a remote site, but I'm glad I did; I documented some of my best spirit communication evidence ever. Within a few minutes of firing up my spirit box apps (Spiritus, Sweep, and Vocibus), I began receiving clear, relevant, undeniable responses to my questions. Within a span of ten minutes, I heard the names of several individuals, all of whom I was able to identify as occupants of the cemetery. What I mistook initially as "Abel" was likely one of several individuals bearing the last name Ebell. I also heard the name "Dave Whitworth" moments before discovering a grave belonging to David Glenn Whitworth. When I thanked Mr. Whitworth for responding, I added, "Hello, it's nice to meet you. My name is Ryan and I'm visiting from San Antonio." The reply, "Howdy!" was unmistakable and gave me a chuckle. I love to hear names come through my devices, but I prefer to capture insights from beyond the grave. Alas, this is a seldom occurrence (spirits purportedly have difficulty mustering the energy required to manipulate a device for more than a few seconds), yet I managed to capture two mind blowing responses this afternoon. After hearing what I likely misunderstood as "bear," I happened upon a grave belonging to a Mr. and Mrs. Behr. I asked for a validation and received, "This...is...Emilie Behr...," which was the name on the tombstone. I asked Mrs. Behr, "What's life after death like?" and documented the following: "It's...peace...nothing to fear." The next example was even more impressive. I had just asked the spirits what they did to pass the time when I heard a perplexing response: "Been batting!" I glanced a few feet to my right and saw a tattered blue baseball bat resting at the base of a tombstone. I have attached a picture to this review. Later in the afternoon, I drove a few miles south and stopped at Boerne Cemetery. I wanted to return specifically to two gravesites I had visited several months earlier. During my first session, I noted the dozens of toys scattered at a child's grave and asked which were his favorite. I was shocked to hear "He-Man" and "R2" very clearly. I then rifled through the toys and found action figures for both. Unfortunately, my little friend was not nearly as vocal this afternoon (I heard only a faint "hi"), but I did snap a photo of the R2-D2 figurine. The second gravesite belonged to none other than George Wilkins Kendall, the man for whom Kendall County was named. On my first visit, his name came through clearly on my spirit box. Today, I reintroduced myself and asked, "How have you been, sir?" The reply: "Dead." Quite amusing, Mr. Kendall! _______________________________________________________ For those new to the field of "ghost hunting," a term I dislike due to its implications (I'm not "hunting" for ghosts), instrumental trans-communication (ITC) refers to the use of physical "spirit boxes" and apps to communicate with spirits. These devices facilitate communication by providing phonetic gibberish (random audio samples, white noise) that spirits can manipulate to form words and sentences. They don't use their own voice; they use whatever audio source the operator provides. ITC is similar to electronic voice phenomena (EVP), but the latter refers to disembodied voices captured from thin air, which even the most seasoned paranormal researchers have difficulty obtaining on a regular basis. ITC typically yields more impressive results, as spirits seem to be more adroit at manipulating raw audio than they are at producing EVP.

I had just asked the spirits what they did to pass the time when I heard a perplexing response: "Been batting!" The reply made no sense until I glanced a few feet to my right. I then saw a tattered blue baseball bat resting at the base of a tombstone belonging to Gene Dunbar (1938-2016). I must emphasize that I heard the message *before* seeing the bat, therefore ruling out the psychological phenomenon known as audio pareidolia. The message was so clear that even my father (who's 75% deaf *and* somewhat skeptical) heard it. I didn't even plant the suggestion in his head; he looked at me quizzically and asked, "Did that thing of yours just say 'been batting'?" I plan to conduct a followup investigation at Sisterdale Cemetery in the near future. I've acquired several new ITC devices recently, so I hope to capture even more results. _______________________________________________________________ For those new to the field of "ghost hunting," a term I dislike due to its implications (I'm not "hunting" for ghosts), instrumental trans-communication (ITC) refers to the use of physical "spirit boxes" and apps to communicate with spirits.

    We are beyond words in expressing our gratitude to the entire Cremation.Green team. 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.

Luckily the city has support services that help you in the process and the counselor they sent did a google search and found this place because I wanted to deal with a place that was close to home. They had a list of funeral homes and cost for cremation from traditional funeral homes was exorbitant just for the cremation not including transport, storage, fees, etc. So we found this place and the counselor called this place on my behalf. It took about an hour for them to get the body and later that afternoon I was able to talk with them on what services I needed. Pricing is very transparent and they handle almost all of the paperwork online. I was able to select the urn, extra death certificates, and get it expedited. they handle all of the paperwork and filing and you even get an obituary page with unlimited words. There was a slight hiccup with the Dr delaying the signature in the death certificate but it was resolved quickly and it took less than a month to receive my husband's ashes. On top of that it's carbon neutral and they use the cleanest technologies. They offer other services like green burials or water cremation as well. I didn't opt for a viewing but they also provided services around that too. Since I live central my pick up was off 290 but they also have a couple other locations further north or south. If you're looking for an alternative that is environmentally friendly and won't break the bank I can say this is a good option.
