I visited the Heartwood Preserve after reading an article about the facility in the Tampa Bay…read moreTimes. The grounds are open to the public during normal business hours. I walked the cemetery and the preserve. I didn't inquire info or pricing of services.. A description of what I viewed while on the property is below along with several photos. The Heartwood Preserve is a medium size property and is essentially the same environment as Starkey Park. In fact, the most southwest corner of Starkey Park borders the Heartwood Preserve. The border fence can seen on the preserve trial which is probably a quarter mile long. I walked through the cemetery portion of the property viewing two graves. Small grave markers can be seen along the trail indicating gravesites. One grave not pictured was circled by pinecones with pineneedles a top. Each gravesite was directly beside the cemetery pathway (not paved) identical to many field like trials at Starkey where many fan shaped palm fronds are. The welcome center was staffed when I visited and a separate employee was tending to the grounds and politely waved and smiled. I learned a lot by walking the property on my own and will consider burial on these grounds.

From the very first phone call through the final steps of cremation, every detail was handled with the utmost professionalism, dignity, and respect. Their team showed incredible patience and understanding, gently guiding our family through each decision while giving us the space and grace to grieve. They didn't just provide a service--they truly honored my dad. Every element felt thoughtful and intentional, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about creating a meaningful and respectful experience for him and for all of us who loved him. In a time filled with heartbreak, they brought a sense of calm, peace, support, respect and reassurance that we will never forget. We are deeply grateful for the compassion they showed our family and for helping us to remember him and also say goodbye in such a beautiful and dignified way. Thank you, Ed, Karol, Robin, Tammy and staff for treating my dad--and all of us--with such care. It meant more than words can express

Woodlawn Cemetery is a historic cemetery located in Tampa, Florida. It is large and I was looking…read moreat some of the graves and many of the graves were of people born in the 1800's. I enjoy walking old graveyards. We seemed to have more reverence for our loved ones and many of the graves were adorned with the photos of people who left this earth a hundred years ago. One cool set of headstones, well, statues actually, were of a doctor and his wife. Again, I find that people had more reverence for the graves of their loved ones. I am happy that I found this historic graveyard. For me, there is something to be said about walking through the final resting spot where people rest after spending a complete life, filled with joy and laughter, as well as sadness and tears. I will give here five stars.

We planned a little ceremony for that day and they never called us. They installed the plate and no communication. I do not recommend them at all.
