This is never an easy topic for discussion, however I am writing this review because of an…read moreexperience our family had last Saturday. Mike and his staff were very professional in the way that they handled the memorial for a family member. They were very gracious in understanding our needs and the way we wanted to have this memorial. From the memorial to the service flag handed to the family, from the catering to the procession, from the beginning to end I was very impressed with Mike and the others that guided us through this challenging period.

This cemetery was established in the 1870s and the first documented burial is that of…read moreseven-month-old Ula Sansom (d. 1876), who was buried in the Sansom family plot. The following year, Louisianna Campbell (1826-1877), was buried in the Campbell plot. Several more burials were made during the next two decades. During the Great Depression, the City of Alvarado took over care for the cemeteries, which were known collectively as Glenwood Cemetery. Additional land enlarged the graveyard, for which in 1970 a cemetery association formed to maintain and preserve the site. Today, the burial ground remains a link to early pioneers and the history of generations of Alvarado residents. Interesting that the text on the historical marker is exactly the text on the cemetery's web site. On a clear blue sky day, I had a chance to walk the cemetery. Other than the big signs in the background, it is quiet and secluded. The grounds were recently mowed. There was no litter and the headstones appear to be completely intact. There's no vandalism here and that's good to see. [Review 16053 overall - 238 in Texas - 1558 of 2021.]

I've waited a while to post this, to make sure it wasn't an emotional reaction. I don't believe it…read moreis. 1st, understand that "family owned" is a business name, not a state of being. The current owners have *not* owned Blessing since 1944. Different families did, and the difference between the service those families provided, and what's now offered, is glaring. 2nd, please, please, PLEASE, read other reviews about the company that currently owns Blessing, and pay close attention to how many people say their loved ones looked wrong, or disappointing, because that's the sad truth of it. They take your loved one from wherever they expire and pack them away in a so-called "care center" in a completely different city, only returning them hours before visitation or service when it's too late to correct their appearance. Our family member was unrecognizable, and had discolorations that weren't present at their time of death. We never had the impression that they cared about the treatment of our loved ones, at all. They added to the stress of the moment, rather than making things easier. When my grandmother died years ago, they were downright rude to me, and other relatives were treated similarly with our more recent experience.

Yes 365 days ago and they still have not delivered it. We call and they don't return calls or texts. They give updates that are false and when you call them they give a later date. My 97yo grandma paid for this last January and just wants to see the finished product while she is still here! So I called them today and said that's it I'm done! I will be posting about this so here's my review! So run as fat as you can away from there. It looks like they have shut down comments on their page so you can only do them if they review them 1st another huge red flag why NOT to do business with them!

Getting a marker put on my mother's grave has been met with excuses and delays. They have our money…read moreand she is in the ground, we are completely at their mercy. Mom was buried in November '21 she is, as of the beginning of this week she is still in an unmarked grave. We were initially told it would be 6 months for a marker to be made, supply issues etc... The option for a temporary marker was never presented by the Funeral home. As a funeral home, it's is their responsibility to offer, not ours as a grieving family to think to ask. One poor review on another site, 6 months after interrment, and they offer to put a temporary marker out, and tell us it will be another 6 to 8 months to get a stone marker. This would have made my mother have an unmarked grave for 12 to 14 months had we stuck to their timeline. We have decided to use a different company than the funeral home offers to get a headstone. That company told us 6 to 8 weeks, not 6 months. I won't even get into the shenanigans they pulled and threats that had to be made in order for us to get our money back to buy a marker from a different company. No family should have to go through this. Emerald hills really dropped the ball on this one.

Plus, all the tall grass makes it difficult to traverse the land. Up to you!
