This was a first for a driver to call with a huge compliment while at a delivery location. The staff involved were Rose and Jordan. It was added work on their part to assist. They could easily have said no but without hesitancy they helped our driver. Please keep in mind funeral homes have no financial incentive to assist anyone other than their clients. Rightly so, florists are expected to follow their rules and help make their job easier of dealing with their clients easier. So thank you Rose and Jordan for taking the interest, time and effort to save the day for our business and our client. Florists rarely get inquires to make referrals so their motivation was selfless.

I would give zero stars if possible. They are horrible people working here. They have no compassion…read moreAT ALL! You are nothing but dollar signs to them. They sit you at a table and sling a list of prices at you like you are a dog. It was like being in a used car salesman's office. The arrogance was ridiculous. Then they want to jack the price up and tell you that's a typo. I told them no it was in print and I wouldn't pay a dime more. Ended up having to have my daughter moved bc the vultures only cared for money so I was worried about them stealing her jewelry or looking for gold teeth. Then they run your loved ones over with machines because they are too sorry to hand dig the graves. We had to threaten to turn them into Montgomery to get them to stop using the road they made over our family plots. I wouldn't send a gerbil here. Go to Deerfoot Memorial. I think that's the correct name. Those folks are wonderful. Very, very kind and supportive. I wish I could have buried my child somewhere else but I couldn't afford it. She deserves so much better than being here. If I go back and the road is still there I will go to Montgomery bc I wouldn't doubt they lied to us again. This has been happening for 20 years. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!

I have to make clear this is not a review about the cemetery, but the staff. I came back to B'ham I…read moretried to contact my best friend and the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I found out she passed away. I called cemeteries, I used grave finders, etc. After several unsuccessful and careless attempts, I called the Ridout's Forest Hill Cemetery and talked to Olivia. By experience, I was not expecting much of her. I was soooo wrong. Since she could not find the grave right away, she told me she was going to look for it, and I thought this was the end. After few minutes she texted me back as she said and left the message in my phone about the location. I went there and she showed me and drove me to the location. She was warm, friendly and kind in this awful time in my life. I am grateful for her help. Thank you Olivia for your kindness and greatness. You have no idea how amazing you were that day helping me.
