I just recently passed three years since my mother had passed away, and it came down to me to find…read morea mortuary and a cemetery rather quickly. While we already had a mortuary in mind, we had no idea which cemetery to use. I set up a bunch of meetings and planned visits within the days right after my mother had passed, and I was quite disappointed with most of those we visited. I experienced poor customer service, a cemetery that didn't see very well kept, an inconvenient place to visit or some other issue. When I came across Paradise Memorial Gardens, I was extremely pleased with how well they communicated, their excellent customer service, and the layout and ease of visiting the cemetery. I had reached out to Dan and quickly heard back from him. I had told him what exactly we were looking for in terms of a location, stone, and service, and he certainly rose to the occasion to ensure that we had the date and time of the funeral and later an unveiling. He explained the prices and answered many questions that my family members and I had asked. Dan was responsive whether we were connecting right before the funeral or in the months that followed when planning an unveiling. For such a stressful time, I was pleased to have someone we made a connection with to reach out to. The actual Paradise Memorial Gardens cemetery is laid out nicely. Instead of other cemeteries where stones are all sticking up out of the ground, many of the stones are flat on the ground where they blend in with the nature. My mother's stone is near a big tree, which provides some shade when I visit her in hotter months. There is a small lake where swans and Canadian geese like to roam. For an interesting story, ask the staff about the swans. There is also a heated and air-conditioned mausoleum onsite which I had been in only once when a friend passed away a number of years ago. There is plenty of parking on the side of the single street that circles the site. There are two entrances, one off of Shea Blvd and the other off 92nd Street. While I didn't use them, I heard good things about the Messinger Mortuaries, which is directly tied to the Paradise Memorial Gardens. I certainly encourage anyone looking for a cemetery (and possibly a mortuary) to check them out.

Yesterday, I called again to Candy to help us plan another interment for the untimely death of my brother-in-law, Jeffrey Jarko. Candy is kind and considerate and her compassion is welcomed to ease our family's needs. Please thank her for us. Sincerely Carl Gundersen

My family entrusted Resthaven Carr-Tenney Mortuary & Memorial Gardens with services for our mother,…read moreMary Whitmore, who was interred on November 4, 2023. Unfortunately, the memorial bench inscription was significantly delayed and took more than two years to complete despite repeated follow-ups and several missed communication commitments. Throughout that time, we received various explanations for the delay, and communication was inconsistent, which made an already emotional situation much more stressful for our family. After formal escalation and corporate involvement, the matter was finally addressed. Management ultimately worked to complete the engraving, and once an error in the inscription was identified, it was corrected promptly. I personally visited the cemetery to verify that the engraving now reflects the correct information and appears properly completed. While I am relieved that the situation has finally been resolved, I hope future families experience clearer communication and timelier follow-through from the beginning. I appreciate that the issue was ultimately corrected, but the process leading up to that resolution was much longer and more difficult than it should have been.

My dad was so comforted by the way they cared for her that he told us he wanted to be cremated there as well when his time came. When we recently lost him, we handled everything over the phone, and even from a distance the staff's kindness came through clearly. They were patient, understanding, and incredibly respectful throughout the entire process. Every conversation felt personal, never rushed, and they made sure we understood each step. Even without walking through their doors, we felt supported and cared for. What meant the most was how consistent their compassion was -- years apart, for both of my parents. They treated our family with genuine warmth and professionalism, and it brought real comfort during two of the hardest moments of our lives. I'm deeply grateful for the care they provided, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a funeral home that truly understands how to support families with dignity and kindness.
