Restlawn Memorial Park

“I’m extremely disappointed with the installation pricing at this cemetery. I was quoted $1,395 just to install a headstone, which feels excessive and unfair—especially during a time of grief when families are already financially strained. I contacted several other cemeteries in the same area, and their installation fees range from $400–$500, which makes this price seem unreasonable. Knowing that families are vulnerable during these moments, this feels like taking advantage rather than offering compassion and support.”

“Wow.... My stepdad was buried here 12 and a half yrs ago. At the time I thought it was maybe human error what had happened to us, but reading all these reviews of other grieving family members going through the same.... It's sickening. Both my parents had pre-paid their final resting place along with the services they wished for. At the time my dad passed I ended up paying an extra $500 +. Then they somehow talked my mother into changing her mind to being buried on top of my dad, MORE $$$$$, and making what was HER plot into a two person plot as well. Which meant her paying MORE $$$$$$$$. Which she had to pay for within so many more months. It's now VERY OBVIOUS that they deliberately take advantage of the emotional state of mind of the grieving family. Also true that only certain areas of the cemetery are taken care of. I have noticed the grave site marker has been damaged by mowers going over it. Which brings another point..... Since my parents each had their separate plot, next to each other, their marker was to be twice the size of the one that was placed. After changing my mother's mind, they made one half the size of what it should've been, where they'll place both of my parents' names and dates. I don't recall them giving my mother credit, for the smaller marker, on all the unnecessary crap ( changes ) they sold her. Someone else mentioned "GREEDY", They're so right. Maybe it's time for some legal action to be taken. This place didn't hold back when charging for ALL THE EXTRAS, maybe if they feel some of what they've made so many grieving families feel, they might just be more honest, empathetic, and not take advantage of others who are going through their worst of times.”

“I took me a while to come here and write a review, but unless you don’t want to leave the cemetery crying or feeling like you made the biggest mistake of having your love one here, then go somewhere else. Maintenance is the worst part of the cemetery they are rude and useless, they mow with the tractor in top of flowers and plaques breaking and destroying everything and leaving all trash behind and grass on headstones, they honestly don’t care. There is holes everywhere, even under headstones and plaques. They only mow when they are told, I have seen trash in the same place for months and all they do is ride in their little car making it look like they work, but they are pretty good at targeting decorations that are left of family members at the graves. Sprinklers are always broken, there is even a sprinkler that hits a rock wall instead of the “grass” which it is not acceptable, let me make this clear “grounds are green because of the rain not because they water!” They mainly “take care” of the middle garden and the gardens next to the walls are in bad condition, I have a family friend witness how a maintenance worker drove on top of my mothers flowers with the tractor and just put the flowers on the trash, now my mom has no flowers because of their careless, how can you not respect a cemetery? I regret so badly stepping foot into this place, but as in a time on pain you don’t think right. It is honestly horrible, it is always a thing whenever I visit my mom. “Maintenace” only seems to be there to open graves. horrible. Your pain and loss is only going to be respected here when you are making arrangements and they are ready to take your money, after that you will receive everything except respect for you or your love one.”
