Our family had an extremely painful and unacceptable experience with Caballero Funeral Home during…read morean already devastating time. We specifically requested that the casket be closed at 9:30 PM. This did not happen. We were told there was no staff available to close it. Instead, the casket was not closed until 10:45 PM, and this was done in front of grieving family and guests. Watching staff stuff blankets and close the casket in public caused immense emotional distress and should never happen under any circumstances. Additionally, flowers that were delivered and signed for by the funeral home were lost. Initially, we were told there was no employee by the name of the signer. Later, the manager discovered that the signature did in fact belong to one of their employees. Despite this, the flowers were still missing. As of 2:00 PM, after the service had ended, staff were digging through other grave sites trying to locate them. When I asked about the missing flowers, I was shockingly told that I should not have used the flower shop recommended on the obituary--placing blame on the family instead of taking responsibility. This was the worst experience imaginable during a time of deep grief. Our family was made to suffer far more than necessary due to disorganization, lack of professionalism, and a complete absence of compassion. I could go on, but this alone speaks volumes. I would never recommend this funeral home to any family.

This is the worst funeral home/cemetery in North America. If you have to die, die anywhere else but…read morehere because these people have -12 sense of empathy and decency. Not only does their customer service need total revamping, the people that work there literally do not have a clue about anything. Incredibly disorganized and will tell you to come back another day because they're by appointment only. Lol, mira payasa Vplp.

Very old cemetery which has been updated with new headstones on some of the gravesites…read more The word is that back in the 1800s the folks would come off of the ocean and walk inland and bury their dead here. We did not see any truly old grave stones but only new gravestones with old dates on them. There aren't that many given the large space and we can only imagine that there are many people buried here whose grave stones have been destroyed by weather.

This is the oldest cemetery in Miami south of the Miami River. It's a treasure trove of history…read morebecause many of the pioneers of Miami lie here. It is easy to find gravestones from the 1800's. It's original name was Larkins Cemetery for the Larkins Settlement that became south Miami. The cemetery has also been called Cocoplum, Pineywoods and finally, Pinewood. The last burial took place in the 1940's. After that the cemetery lay forgotten as it was desecrated by vandals who broke and stole headstones. What was left was buried in plant growth. In 1983 the citizens of Coral Gables formed a committee to restore the graveyard. The first order of business was to locate the boundaries of the graveyard. The committee found that two houses had enlarged their backyards and just fenced in gravestones when they took over the property. It took over two years just to get them to take down the fences. There are still bodies in the surrounding properties as some were found when a swimming pool was dug in for a house north of the cemetery line. In 1989 a rock wall was added and a plaque. Many people have worked to recover some of the stolen headstones and replace others. They were even able to get the military to replace some of the veterans tomb stones. Some of the vegetation has been cleared and you are able to walk around on the soft pine needle covered ground. On my visit I ran into a bike tour group from the Coral Gables museum doing a Halloween tour and I got to hear some of the fascinating stories from the guide. After I finished visiting I went over to the museum where I found a book titled Pinewood Cemetery, Coral Gables, Florida. It was written by Harriet Stiger Liles one of the earliest people to champion the restoration of the cemetery. She tells the history of the graveyard and how she was asked to lead the restoration of Pinewood. She includes a history of everyone buried there. When you look at the dates on the headstones you are faced with just how hard it was to be a pioneer in the 1800's. George Grew moved to Miami from Massachusetts, He was building his homestead and he had his shotgun with him for protection from bears. When he picked it up he accidentally discharged it into his chest. Dora Suggs is another tragic story. A 33 year old mother, she had driven her wagon into Coconut Grove to get supplies. The wagon was later found at home but there was no sign of Dora. When she was finally located later that night she had been assaulted and murdered. Five year old Allen Boring Barnett drown in the Coconut Grove Bayfront. There are many graved of babies who owing to the medical care of the time never made it past infancy. There is no parking at the cemetery. Biking over would be the best choice if you are able to. I took a chance and parked at a home that was being renovated across the street. If you are interested in history grab the book from the museum and head on over. Walking around makes you appreciate the difficulties the pioneers faced and how much Miami has changed in a mere 150 years.
