I walked the cemetery and the preserve. I didn't inquire info or pricing of services.. A description of what I viewed while on the property is below along with several photos. The Heartwood Preserve is a medium size property and is essentially the same environment as Starkey Park. In fact, the most southwest corner of Starkey Park borders the Heartwood Preserve. The border fence can seen on the preserve trial which is probably a quarter mile long. I walked through the cemetery portion of the property viewing two graves. Small grave markers can be seen along the trail indicating gravesites. One grave not pictured was circled by pinecones with pineneedles a top. Each gravesite was directly beside the cemetery pathway (not paved) identical to many field like trials at Starkey where many fan shaped palm fronds are. The welcome center was staffed when I visited and a separate employee was tending to the grounds and politely waved and smiled. I learned a lot by walking the property on my own and will consider burial on these grounds.

The seats were comfortable, and it was a large, bright room. My mother-in-law, father-in-law and several friends are interred at this funeral home's cemetery. All of their services were professional and compassionate. Staff was competent and kind. My only complaint was with their parking area, after my MIL's ashes were interred with her spouse who predeceased her. Husband pulled into a spot with an askew parking standard. He pulled up to much, and when he backed up the car to leave, it pulled off his car's splash shield. It was a tough time for him, and he blamed himself for this damage to his car, but I think that Meadowlawn should have addressed the issue before damage could occur. So be aware of where you park and how you park to avoid damage to your vehicle. Today, 2/7/22, all standards were complete and in place.

This time it was a sweet grandma who went by Honey to all who loved her- my sister's family and my mother's best friend. Dobies makes sure to take care of everything in a somber and gentle manner. I was really looking around at the decor and wondering if the antique decor is meant to comfort those in morning.
