Throw my name in there too. We have the family plot and the headstone, four names on one. Since this is the East side there is a special area for Orthodox Christians and we all visit once a year for the day of the dead, first Sunday after Easter. There are many Hmong families here, and their headstones are unusual as they are all black and the print is white. There is a handy company across the street that does the headstones. And yes, it's pretty weird to see your name on one. But I'm glad it won't be a burden to our sons. It's not a huge cemetery, so you can't get too lost. Nothing like thinking of death on my birthday.

Beautiful old mausoleums sporting neoclassical columns that speak to the present of times past. Be sure to check out the odd, still phallic-looking stele that closely resembles a circumcised penis. It's near the fire fighters' memorial. An unleashed pitbull accosted me here, running at full-tilt with his ears back. But he was friendly, warm, and alive. To stroll here is to be reminded that we spend the vast certitude of existence as but a memory of the living if we are remembered at all. One wonders what tales the dead here have to tell about our city, when their spirits ascend their tombs in the still of night within this city of their own. A half block to the east of this venerable burial ground lies the entrance to the stunning Gateway Bike Trail, an 18 mile paved rail trail that takes one from the gang graffitied ghettos of St. Paul's north end to bucolic farmlands and small forests at the Stillwater terminus.

During his celebration of life ceremony, it appeared 200 plus people came through the doors of this small funeral home. With extra chairs, collages, shirts from all his Sturgis events and a line that carried out the door, they provided the family with all the time and patience they needed. The visitation and service, which included songs and stories was so beautifully done, it is hard to imagine many funeral homes could have pulled off something this big and intimate. They were incredible during the entire day and evening and worthy of this rating.

If you are feuding with family or if your husband has an ex-wife " Do not use this funeral home "…read moremy husband's ex-wife was able to call and obtain all info regarding his services she was even given his burial insurance info even after I asked the Director to cut communication with her. She was given pictures of my husband in his casket she was sent obituary copies she was also given the address, date, and time of his burial which I wanted to be very private. I later learned the funeral home was supposed to persuade me from having my husband cremated which I did have done at another funeral home but he ( the director ) for some odd reason felt the need to remain in close contact with her throughout the entire ordeal. Unless you want ex-husbands, wife's, or any feuding family members to be present at the services I will not use this funeral home .even with you footing the bill they will give the caller on the phone " All " info I was totally disappointed! # Inver grove location

From the moment we walked in, in shock with immediate grief, to following the burial, they walked us through every aspect of the process. We were able to create a beautiful memorial in remembrance of our beloved mother that was true to her uniqueness and according to her wishes. Special thanks to David, Jane, Vera, Stephanie, Elida, Michael, Kirk, and I know there are several others I'm forgetting. All the attendants were professional and proactive. It was also the only space we visited (of five or six) that was large enough to hold a sanctuary-like service, given we were not using a church building for our service. The "fellowship" area on the lower level let in a lot of light and was perfect for a luncheon after the service. Their short-list recommendations for caterer and florist were both excellent.

They had a kitchen, plenty of restrooms and space for a good audience to come. Parking was a little hectic since there was not much room for the crowd and it's local roads were a bit hazardous since it hadn't been plowed. Food was great, event went smooth and pricing included burial and coffin which was nice so we dealt with one main person for it all. They also had a projector that they let us use but it was hard to find at times since the owner took it home and it was hard to get a hold of him at times but overall, it went well.
