Hillcrest ripped me off…read more They did a good job burying my dad in Sept 2018. In February, we spent thousands on a headstone we were told would arrive in "3-5 months max." We are Jewish and it's our custom to have a headstone "unveiling" about a year after the funeral. Leaving extra wiggle room, family planned to fly in for the unveiling ceremony in October as their rep advised us that would be "more than enough time." In mid June --FOUR MONTHS LATER -- we got a nervous phone call from a woman named Brenda who cheerily explained that the rep who took our money and sold us the headstone had left the company at some point and there was some "confusion" and our order had gotten lost in the shuffle and never ordered (even though they charged our credit card). She explained she was eager to put our order in now but that I'd need to approve a proof. We approved it and discussed w/ her that she would contact the granite/stone manufacturer to ask them to rush it and would get back to us. At this point, we'd been very patient and polite. After all, mistakes do happen and we could still make it by the October unveiling. On June 28, Brenda from Hillcrest wrote back these exact words: "Let me ask my granite manufacturer if they can make this and deliver within the next two months" When I heard nothing, I followed up on July 3. When I still had heard nothing, I followed up on July 8. Nothing. On July 16, she simply told me "I don't usually get any updates from the granite manufacturer until they are ready to ship. But I will try to keep you up to date if I get notice from them. " On August 8, I requested an update.. Then-- almost another full month after her July 16 email-- on August 12, Brenda contacted me to say this: "I spoke to the manufacturer who is making your marker. They pulled the order and informed me the blue pearl stone you ordered is an imported stone. They also let me know that it can be up to 150 days to complete a marker using imported stone, this is to allow time to ship the stone into the country. The 3 month time frame I based my estimate on would be if the marker had been made using a domestic stone. " We had NEVER been told we ordered anything special or international. The rep in February never told us when he took our money--but he did say up to 5 months max (150 days).. In her June calls and emails, Brenda clearly wrote over and over about 2 months and 3 months-- I saved everything. On June 28, she was calling them for info and to request priority rush-- Clearly she didn't really call anyone who looked at the order because all throughout the entire next month, Brenda never mentioned this at all.... So we have a company who LOST our pricey order but charged us the money and told us about it 4 months after-the-fact. Then promised to do something to try to speed it up-- but took nearly two more months just to figure out they can't speed it up AND it'll take even longer because it's an "international stone."

Though I have not been directly connected with any planning of the ceremonies, my family members have spoke highly of the ease the cemetery has made of the situation. They do their absolute best to make sure everything flows as seamless as possible while covering the family direct needs/wants for their beloved member being laid to rest that day. Though they have many ceremonies planned each day that are timed, it is important to know that you can speak up if some additional time is needed before the end of your time. It is simple just by a few words or taking your additional time needed by staying at the ceremony sight. They are very timely between the ceremony time and when the person or ashes are placed with there headstone for you to return to visit. Given that I have several more family members who are military members and/or spouses, we will be back in the upcoming years and I hope things remain as seamless.

We spoke with someone at another cremation business, who called and spoke with someone at Baldwin. Who said she would speak with the general manager. A week later she was surprised that no one had called us. I sent a letter to the general manage requesting he reconsider his decision. He never responded. Baldwin has been uncooperative.

This is the historic cemetery in Mount Dora. It is owned by the city. In 1866, Mr. and Mrs. J.P…read more Donnelly set aside 2 1/2 acres to be used as Forest Cemetery. It was given to the Forest Cemetery Association in 1919. Then councilwoman Esther Wyatt Bishop, urged that the name should be changed because there were already 28 other cities with a Forest Cemetery. In 1953 the name was changed to the more unique Pine Forest in honor of the trees at this cemetery. The cemetery has since been enlarged to about 20 acres. Graves lie under the pine trees dripping in Spanish moss. The first burial here was a settler named Mrs. I.M. Mabbette in 1881 but her exact grave has been lost. One of the saddest known stories in the cemetery is that of the Warburton family from England. Their grave is the first to have received a marker in the cemetery and it lies to the right of the cemetery in the oldest section. The parents and two children were riding in a wagon on a trip to Eustis when they wanted to stop to water their horse. Their approach to Fiddler's Pond was too steep and the whole family drown on May 21, 1882. Recently some family members of the people buried here have become upset by the removal of the historic concrete coping that separates family plots. The cemetery took them out to make it easier to trim the ground cover. The Mount Dora Historical Society would like to see the coping preserved because without it some grave markers might be lost. If you are interested in history this cemetery is a nice place to walk around and pay respects to the settlers of Mount Dora.

Found Allen J Harden and they came and picked up their loved one. The next morning they met with them and the cost for direct Cremation was double what the area standard going rate is, so they decided to have her moved to a different Funeral home and willing to pay for the pick up the night before they asked how much they owed for the aforementioned and were charged $799.00 which is 3/4 of what the 2nd funeral home charges for the complete service of Direct cremation. This Borders on Criminal but definitely is taking advantage of the family at a time of need. SHAME ON YOU!!!!
