Many years ago after my mother's burial, I wanted and still do, want to put a marker on my mother's…read moregrave site. The records that I have of our family plot at Highland Park Cemetery, Highland had NO record of my mother's burial site, nor our family plot even when I showed the woman my record of where and when my mother was buried. I was very disappointed with this cemetery's old record system when I visited their office on their cemetery grounds. The secretary had to pull an old heavy record book that looked to be from the 19th century. She could not find the record of the funeral home nor burial information. I selected my mother's grave site when she passed, and was at her internment after her funeral. My question is how can this information be misplaced?

At first glance, the mostly flat grounds are very pretty; however, closer inspection shows that a…read morehuge percentage of the tombstones are sunken into the earth, heavily (if not nearly entirely) covered over by thick, overgrown sod about 3" deep. Finding relatives is difficult enough for those who don't live here or otherwise visit regularly, but it becomes significantly more complicated when the tombstones are buried and unreadable. When I was here, I saw many visitors armed with shovels hacking away at the earth around tombstones. (A caring act but also mentally concerning when you don't at first know what they're doing.) The situation is not improved by surly staff - not all, but a solid percentage - and an outdated records system.

What can I say about Pernel Jones & Sons Funeral Home. Unapologetically, I can say the following:…read more1. The entire staff were prompt in responding to my family's requests. 2. Mr Jones known forever in my family as "Dr. Jones". Was masterful in making our casket selections; insurance details; hospital coordination; and most importantly being fair on the pricing. 3. Henry, the makeup artist made up my granny and she was as natural as she was in real life. His patience was well noted. 4. The limo driver (can't remember his name) was courteous and had such a pleasant disposition. We felt well cared for the whole day. For this to be a sad day for my family Pernel's Funeral Home made sure to walk us through a very difficult day with true grace. Thank you for your service and professionalism.

Never in my life would I have thought to write a review about a funeral home, but here we are. Lou…read moreRipepi was not someone I knew, or would have been in my circle. But when the unthinkable happened my husband quickly reached out to Lou. He told me not to look anywhere else he is someone you can trust. When the moment came all of the details were taken care of and highly organized. Then came the moment where we had to sit with him and discuss next steps. I had no clue but he patiently guided us and made sure every thing was carefully thought of with no rush. His employees were EXCELLENT! From choosing the casket, getting the right image and verbiage for the obituary. Making sure that they had a few pictures of her so that they could apply right makeup and hair style, it was amazing. I'm glad that they had our back. The day of the viewing, the father who led prayers and last rights all amazing. The procession to the cemetery all so beautiful. Lou our family is forever grateful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Excellent value for the casket we chose and everything else. Just sit with him and have a chat, I'm sure he can work with different fair budgets.
