I'm still not understanding one thing. If she prepaid for her funeral service, it was supposed to be earning interest which meant as prices climbed her funeral, as she ordered or requested it should have been fully paid for, but she was informed that if she died today with the money she had paid, it would not have been enough to cover the full cost. Why not? We are looking into other avenues to make sure when the time comes, the money is available and she will have the type of going home service she wishes to have. I'd like to add, they did a wonderful job with my Father's service in 2006.

I am beyond upset with what we experienced today visiting family and friends at this cemetery…read more Obviously they were using Memorial Day weekend as a way to try to lure future customers in. They had a table set up out front that people could visit and that should've been enough but that isn't why people are there. They are there to grieve and honor, especially this weekend. As we're standing there at the grave of a loved one, one of their staff mows over all of the graves to approach us. In my mind I'm thinking, "don't do it. I know they don't have the audacity." Nope...they're doing it. They stop and ask if we are thinking of being buried close to our loved ones there. I told them this was not the time or place for a sales pitch and off they drove over about 8 rows of graves to get back to the road. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!?!?! We *were* considering being there but this gross display of playing on the grief of people when you know you're going to have the highest turnout was completely inappropriate. It turned our family off to the idea of being at a place where they might try to bother other grieving family in the future when we're gone. I don't care if corporate encouraged them to do it or if they thought they'd take advantage of the extra traffic but it was offensive.

Epstein certainly knows the Jewish rituals but David was also determined to be sure we had no worries through the process.

I will use David and Epstein again in the future, although I hope not for a long time to come.

There are two large sections of this cemetery, one on the east side of Olentangy, one on the west a bit farther up. The east one is older, and a bit harder to get in and out of if there's any traffic. The west one is at a stoplight, and a bit more open and grassy. There is an office at the west one but I didn't stop. Both sections are nicely arranged and well marked. Peaceful, treelined drives - a bit wider in the new section- go through various areas. Well cared for. Sobering, sometimes touching. Woody Hayes and Dave Thomas are buried here. Their website has good maps and information. Between that and the app, graves are easy to find. Worth a visit.
