When I called and said I would just come pick them up myself, they magically had time to send them again. The receptionist got an attitude when I called to check on the status of my mother's death certificate WEEKS later. Over a month after her passing, I went to the health department to get a copy of it myself because at this point I lost faith they would even send me a copy. I was told the only thing that it was waiting on was the funeral home's signature!! A signature weeks later. Called them and the man in charge that answered couldn't tell me the status of it because he couldn't find it??? And told me to call back the next day. Absolutely TERRIBLE experience on top of an already terrible experience. Steer clear!!!

My son was cremated over 6 weeks ago. I was told on several occasions that his ashes have been…read moreshipped over a week ago. They told his mother they sent them Friday and would provide a tracking number. They have not. There was a blatant mistake in his death certificate. They were supposed to send us an unofficial corrected death certificate. They haven't. I've left messages for Philip and Dusty all last week and their manager Pam this morning. No one has yet to call me back. They are incompetent and completely unprofessional by not returning one phone call. I would never recommend them to anyone. We still have not received his ashes. They were in constant contact when they wanted payment. However after you pay them they will not give you the common courtesy of returning phone calls. Totally unprofessional. Before they file the certificates they should send people drafts to approve or something. I'm beginning to wonder if they misplaced or lost his ashes. We need the death certificate for a charity event. So no I wouldn't recommend them.

I have paid them in full WEEKS ago and I still have no death certificate. I have been told that "post it" notes would be given to Tiffany who is the person in charge of handling these and that she would overnight them to me immediately. That was several days before Christmas. It's now the 2nd of January and I finally got in touch with Tiffany who had no idea what I was talking about but "will look into it." Not a single phone call made to me, ever, explaining the delay or concern. I continue to call, continue to drive to their facility, and still nothing. This is outrageous. No one needs this additional stress during such a challenging and emotional time. Nothing can be accomplished without this very necessary document, which has prevented my family from finalization and suspended us in grief. I would absolutely NOT recommend.

This funeral home is terrible. They were hired to service my father's funeral on 1/12/2023. The…read moreonly good thing I can say about them is that they did a good job on my father's body. Everything else was unacceptable. First, after the viewing, they rushed us into our cars to go to the graveside service. Only, we didn't immediately leave. We all waited in our cars for about 10 minutes until two men came out and asked "Where are the pallbearers?!" Ummm...you mean my brother and my partner? No one informed us that we were expected to bring our own pallbearers. We assumed that the $11,000 we were charged for the funeral that would include pallbearers. My brother, partner, and two cousins jumped up and volunteered themselves to help move my father's coffin into the hearse. Then the nightmare continues. They instructed us to follow them and then proceeded to lead us to THREE different random cemeteries before finally arriving at the correct cemetery where my father was to be buried. How do you not know which cemetery your client is to be buried at, leading a grieving family on an impromptu (and unwelcome) tour of cemeteries all over Savannah?! We finally arrived at the (correct) cemetery and noticed that my father's to be grave was at least 200 feet from where we had just parked. One of the two employees remarked "Well if I had known it was this far, I would have brought the rolling cart. Oh well." The "pall bearers" (my brother, carrying his own father's coffin, my partner, and my two cousins) struggled to carry the 250 lbs+ coffin to the grave. The service, thankfully, went without any additional problems. But the ordeal continued the next day when we realized that we had never received our father's death certificate. We called the nursing home that he passed away at and they stated that Adam's Funeral never sent them the certificate to be signed by their physician. We then had our legal representative call Adam's, and they curtly said that they would only speak to the person who paid for the funeral. So my brother and I went to the funeral home ourselves (along with our legal representative). They immediately claimed that they had just faxed the death certificate to the nursing home (of course). I wouldn't recommend anyone trust this funeral in handing one of the most stressful and traumatic experiences of their lives. Stay away.

I love it. Beautiful…read more I live in a city with a huge, gorgeous, historically relevant cemetery/green space with notable dead folks from history. And it is one of my favorite places. So Bonaventure was always on my list to visit, with or without pop culture references (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) or status as a tourist stop. A little bit outside of the city, but not terribly difficult to get to, there is a small parking lot for visitors, with public toilets and maps available. They have tour options, but you can also just walk yourself around. The big gravesite draws (Johnny Mercer, Conrad Aiken) are well marked and fairly easy to find on your own. The place is beautiful and very well maintained. Large cemeteries were often meant as strolling green spaces, meant to be visited and used. But do be aware and conscientious if there appears to be a service going on. I could have spent ages and ages walking every path and taking in the loveliness. Highly recommend a visit here, with enough time to wander and sit and see.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more It is our hope that sharing our experiences with Magnolia Memorial Garden will prevent some other family from going through the disappointment and heartbreak we had with dealing this cemetery in burying our beloved family member. One of the last wishes of our loved one was to be buried among her parents and many other family members interred at Magnolia. The funeral was scheduled for Tuesday, August 20 and we began making arrangements for burial with Magnolia a week prior to burial. The entire week was spent trying to locate a burial property that we purchased in the early 80s. Magnolia's paperwork was inconsistent and contradictory and they did not demonstrate any sort of concern about putting our loved one to rest. You should not leave a cemetery angry and hurt as we did after dealing with the staff at Magnolia Memorial Garden. At the very last minute on Monday, August 19, we made the difficult decision to make burial arrangements with Bonaventure cemetery where we received immediate and excellent service for burial the next day. The purpose of this letter is to implore those who have property at Magnolia to please check on it prior to need. Otherwise, you may find yourself in the same situation that we were in. At the funeral today, in discussing this issue with those at the repast, we discovered there was at least one guest who had deeds for property that she never requested and never paid for. If you are considering buying property at Magnolia Cemetery, remember 'caveat emptor', let the buyer beware. If this letter saves one family from our recent experiences, then it is worth our effort.

Per my friends runners, bikers and dog owners tend to go here. My friends were completely correct about sunny and less touristy, but we didn't see any athletes there.

I think we thought it very interesting that there were a lot of Greeks, Jews and Asians buried here... surprising and very interesting. And there were at least two columbariums (sp?) right close to the water. This cemetery is definitely a great place to enjoy God's beauty while enjoying lots of history. Oddly, I happened upon three burial markers of friends relatives. Truly beautiful here and I hope to be back soon.
