What Families Are Saying

Real Stories from Real People

I really appreciate all the time and help Crystal provided to me so I could make decisions so that my family would have relatively little to do when the time comes. The gardens and the grounds are well maintained and are beautiful and such a peaceful location. I'm sure that my family will be happy as well.

Crystal and Mary are incredible. I lost my father and they made an impossibly difficult situation a whole lot easier. I would recommend them to every single person I know! They’re so attentive to your desires and will work with you to make sure that your loved ones are honored properly. Forever grateful for them!

Our Family Service Advisor was extremely helpful and very patient as we considered many options. She treated us like family.
Author: Jim Duncan rated with 5 stars

My wife and I plan to donate our bodies to medical research. Without having any knowledge of the process required, Crystal was kind, courteous, knowledgeable and answered all our questions thoroughly. Crystal is an asset to her company and a true ambassador for a profession that people may have a difficult time discussing.

Frequently Asked Questions

: Yes. In fact, there are more options for cremation memorials than for traditional casket burial. Cremation also allows you to have a permanent memorial at a cemetery, but you can also have a small keepsake urn at home.
: It's never too late for a permanent memorial. Many families realize that having their loved one's urn with them at home was not a great idea. Having a permanent resting place for your loved one allows for other friends and family to visit your loved one's memorial too.
: Just like other open spaces, cemeteries have been impacted by the sheer number of people on our planet. However, we can always help you find the space you need, so don’t ever feel that there is not an option to meet your needs.
: In short, Endowment Care / Perpetual Care refers to the funds that keep the cemetery grounds beautiful and well-kept, ensuring that your loved one will be taken care of each and every day over the long term. Once the service is over and those in attendance have left the grounds, we want to ensure that peacefulness and beauty are permanent parts of our grounds and Endowment Care makes this possible.
: No, embalming is not required for burial. It is always your choice. Your decision may depend on such factors as whether the family selected a service with a public viewing of the body with an open casket; or to enhance the deceased's appearance for a private family viewing; or if the body is going to be transported by air or rail, or because of the length of time prior to the burial.
