    Today was my first time visiting the cemetery. The grounds are very well maintained. The roads were in great condition. I was amazed at the ponds. It was like going to a park. The architecture throughout was beautiful. This is a place where your loved ones will truly rest in beauty.

    Our parents are there. Staff is friendly and approachable. I worked for a local Funeral Home, staff was easy to work with. We call this our Family Cemetery. Always clean and kept up. Sometimes I go just to get out and walk. Thanks Elmwood continue blessing grieving families.

    This was one of the last places I wanted to visit before moving further south. Came here to come look at my fathers grave one last time before leaving. We laid him to rest here over 4 years ago and I’m grateful to God that the groundkeepers are keeping his section clean and well taken care of. There are many sections here and I’m glad the people who work here are understanding of how love ones can feel during times of grief.

    Grounds look very well kept. Security on the property. Saw a headstone knocked over. They should fix that.

    VERY UN PROFESSIONAL. My Mother died in the beginning of Covid in April. MY GRIEF WAS MADE WORST BY THIS PLACE. HAD TO REDO HEADSTONE BECAUSE THIS PLACE. NOT COMMUNICATED TO THE STONE MAKER OR I THE REQUIREMENTS. REFUSED DELIVERY OF HEADSTONE. NOT TO MENTION I WENT TO THEM TO PURCHASE THE STONE FIRST GOT NO REPONSE FOR 5 MONTHS AFTER PROMISES OF CALL BACK. I wouldn't bury my dog there.

    Decided to bury my mom here after unprofessionalism by Woodlawn cemetery where my father is buried. Bonita was very helpful in helping me pick the best location for my mother's final resting place.
