It is on the north side of the dead end section of Laskin Road as that street approaches Great Neck Road from the east. The tree filled cemetery is a serene final resting place. The only interruption is the sound of low flying fighter jets landing at Oceana Master Jet Base. But somehow that feels fitting, especially when laying to rest a long time resident of our city. Look here for history also. Many burials & tombstones from centuries ago have been moved to this cemetery as development encroachment disturbed what was meant to be their final resting place. One's heart may be sad as a dear family friend is laid to rest. But leaving them in such a peaceful place is a comfort.

The Albert G. Horton Memorial Cemetery is a State Veterans Cemetery on Milners Road in a rural area…read moreof Suffolk. Its 2004 opening provided a military cemetery for the huge military community that chose to retire in Coastal Virginia. The cemetery is one of a number of regional cemeteries run by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, Eligible Veterans receive one free burial site & USDVA provided outer burial receptions/crypts & headstones. Should a veterans's wife predecease him, the headstone is inscribed with her information facing forward. When the veteran dies his information is inserted on the opposite side and the headstone rotated so his information faces the front, My Uncle had originally planned to be buried at Arlington. After his wife died, the funeral director mentioned Albert Horton. When we left my Uncle asked what I thought. We both had individually felt that it would be a place where we could more easily visit her. We toured the next day. Even the drive down Milners Road is picturesque. The cemetery itself was clean, new and beautifully laid out. The staff was friendly. The decision was made. At that time word of the beautiful Veterans Cemetery had not yet widely spread. She received a convenient plot near the drive through and near a bench. There appeared to be space for burials for many years. That hasn't been the case. The Cemetery filled over the years and has been expanded. When my Uncle died I had my first experience with the Pavilion, which is used to provide a military graveyard service with Honor Guard. It was a moving experience for the man I considered my second father. The Honor Guard was a special final recognition for the retired Naval Commander, buried in his uniform, who had served in WWII, Korean & Vietnam. Albert Horton Veterans Cemetery continues to serve as a valued source for a final resting place for those who have served our country. Wreaths across America places gorgeous holiday wreaths on each grave. The Horton Wreath Society places wreaths on military holidays. Contributions can be made and are encouraged. Whether the burial be a traditional plot with stone, a columbarium or in ground urn, there is no cost for those Veterans who qualify. Thank you to the Virginia Department of Veterans Services. Virginia Veterans Cemeteries are such a valued contribution provided to our Veterans.

I don't know why it's way out here in the countryside. The park honors the Afro-Union patriot heroes who fought for the Union during the Civil War in the US Colored Troops regiments. Tall trees block the sunlight so the grass is bare. The caption in the park is cracked and scratched and effectively illegible. And there's no parking except some cracked concrete in front of a small business across the way. This memorial needs some serious attention. [Review 10840 overall, 610 of 2019.]

Doing a review for a funeral home is very bittersweet. Let's be honest, who looks forward to…read morefuneral services? However, during a really difficult time for my family while handling the death of my grandmother, we enlisted Crocker Funeral Home to assist with her final wishes. Millions of THANKS to Ms. Ebony Johnson, who was EXTREMELY helpful to my family, especially to my mother, while trying to navigate such an emotional time. She made the process much easier and took care of so much. When there were "family complications," she was patient and gave us reasonable enough time to get things situated and straightened out. At one point, there was a minor mix-up with the obituaries and Ms. Ebony had it corrected right away without issue. That speaks to customer service for me. Now, in relation to the care, I will say that I literally cried when seeing my grandmother for the first time after her passing. I had to hug Ms. Ebony after seeing my grandmother. My grandmother had not looked like herself in such a long while due to being ill, and they really restored her (pre-sickness) beauty and made sure she was put away with dignity. I admit I was even pretty tickled because they requested we provide necessities that were inclusive of a slip and panty hose. (Why would she need a slip and panty hose??!!). But then it was explained that it was regarding the dignity and properly putting the person away. Also, my grandmother wasn't overly caked with make-up where she looked like a completely different person (you know the strange ghastly look), and each and every person who came said how beautiful she looked! The limo and the hearse drivers were friendly and courteous. We were very happy with what was provided, and we are very grateful for the help from Crocker!
