Fred Hunter Memorial Services is…read morethe only full-service, family-owned and operated funeral home, cemetery and crematory in Broward County, Florida. Fred Hunter's Funeral Homes was established in Detroit, Michigan in the 1890's. The first South Florida location opened almost 60 years and has grown to be one of the largest funeral homes in the area. Fred Hunter's has been owned and operated by the Quinn Family since 2004. They are a 4th generation family in the funeral and cemetery services business. They also own and operate Hollywood Memorial Gardens East, Hollywood Memorial Gardens West, and Magnolia Cremation Garden and Family Estates. This cemetery is located on 72nd Avenue in Hollywood in a quiet residential neighborhood between Stirling Road and Sheridan Street. Hollywood Memorial Gardens North offers ground burial, an infant section, and outdoor mausoleum crypts. The cemetery is very peaceful. There are beautiful trees and the grounds are well maintained. Most of the graves have flat markers that lie directly on the ground. Statues and other ornamentation are minimal. I saw a number of WWII veterans as well as military personal from other wars. One of the more famous residents of this cemetery is Joey Maxim who passed in 2001. He was light heavy weight champion who outlasted Sugar Ray Robinson in a 1952 title fight.

I spent this Sunday doing one of the things I like best, exploring the history of South Florida…read more Dania Beach is the oldest incorporated city in Broward County. This cemetery was founded in 1904 when this area was part of Dade County. Many of the pioneers came to this area from Wisconsin to be tomato farmers. Since they were of Danish heritage the city was named Dania. While reading about the history of Dania I saw a YouTube video of Fred Beneby speaking about this cemetery which led me here. It turns out this cemetery is a result of some very sad and dark Dania history. According to Mr. Beneby, early Black pioneers came to this area from the Bahamas to work in what was once the tomato capital of the world. When they passed some of them were buried on the east side of the railroad tracks in Dania Memorial Cemetery which was an integrated cemetery. When the Klan became prominent in the 1930's and 1940's they decided that cemeteries needed to be segregated. They got prisoners to remove all of the bodies of anyone black and interred into what they termed the colored cemetery. Of course they didn't do a respectful job of moving bodies. They dumped people together, broke their headstones, and stole any jewelry they could find. In 1986 Mr. Beneby along with other community activists spearheaded the campaign to have the disrespectful name Colored Cemetery that was listed on some city documents changed to the more serene name West Lawn Park. Any names of people that were interred here during the move that could be known were added to a monument in the cemetery. On the outside of the cemetery is a monument that is basically an apology from the city to the people who were so insensitively dumped here. The cemetery is being kept up although some headstones still remain broken. If you visit the all white cemetery Dania Memorial across the railroad tracks you can't really tell the difference between the two. They look like the same cemetery divided by the railroad tracks but if you look closely on the south side of the West Lawn cemetery you can see the graves that were moved. They are the graves with Rest in Peace markers painted white. Of note, Hollywood's first black officer, R.D. "Jay" Sanders who died in 1994 is buried here. He served the city from 1951 to 1974.

I never thought I'd be reviewing a cemetery but after visiting it yesterday, the experience was…read moreeye-opening enough for me to write one! Came here with family for a prayer service and watch my late nephew's ashes rest in his niche. The establishment was well-kept, very clean, ornate and gorgeous -- it really does not feel like a typical cemetery that I am accustomed to. Even though it seems like a somber moment, you don't feel sadness walking around here. I felt peace. I felt like everyone here, no matter how tragic their passing was, have moved onto the afterlife with peace. Nothing eerie at all. Even my mother was so impressed, and this was her second time visiting, that she went to the office to inquire for herself. It wasn't until yesterday that it has hit me that burial places are a lot like home-buying, the prices fluctuate, you can buy or sell your plots, and luckily here, there is NO interest rates. That means the moment you buy your spot, you can put a down payment and pay the rest of it at your leisure without worrying about interest. People go to funerals to attend for someone else but yesterday has put a thought into persepective, "What do I do when it's MY turn? What do I want?" My husband and I also had a heart to heart conversation about our preferences too... after all, my nephew had passed when we least expected it so it can happen to ANY of us. I'm glad that we had our talk and that my mom put the plan in motion for her future too. Mrs. Rosa was very helpful, even offered us waters and additional chair for our group. Even the young receptionist was very sweet and professional. Just note that this is a Catholic cemetery, one of two Catholic cemeteries in South Florida at the time of writing this review, so not only is this establishment a rarity, but also very strict. You would have to be a practicing Catholic, so yes, they will ask for the name of your parish. I will ALSO note that they use a lot of paperwork -- which may raise concern that there is no digital database for safekeeping. They do provide copies of your paperwork so KEEP THAT SAFE so in that way if someone misplaces a paper, you have your copy. All in all, a gorgeous cemetery both inside and out. Well maintained. And I saw there's a thrift shop... maybe someday when I'm in the area I can do some shopping!

After a recent death in my family I was searching funeral homes and services in the Miami and…read moreBroward areas. I visited the top 6 results I found on Google to compare services and cost. My first stop was Wilcox Funeral Home. I was very impressed with Carolyn's patience and helpful nature. I asked many questions and also asked the same questions a number of times because my attention and focus was definitely limited. The Wilcox prices were reasonable. I did find a couple of cheaper options and some more expensive choices. The reason why I choose to go with Wilcox is I felt I could trust Carolyn to take good care of me and my family during this unfortunate situation. I ended up calling her a handful of times before making a final decision, as I was trying to figure out what would be best. There was never any pressure, just helpful advice and patience. I chose to entrust Carolyn to make everything go as smoothly as possible and she really delivered. As a matter of fact, I am deeply grateful for how much Carolyn taught me through this process. I learned a lot. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows what she's doing. Carolyn was on top of things--always helpful, reliable, patient, and very communicative with me. Carolyn helped me with getting a minor non-citizen family member into the country to attend the funeral on very short notice which was very important to us. She also was able to set up the honor guards ceremony and order a sentimental piece of jewelry as a gift in time for the funeral day. There's many little details I would not have thought to do or knew how to do that Carolyn took care of. She also presented my family and I with a personal touching surprise on the day of the service. I truly believe our event would not have turned out as special if I had went somewhere else. Her personal touches meant so much. Carolyn was god-sent. I highly recommend contacting Carolyn at Wilcox funeral home if you want the best service and care when you find yourself in a unwanted situation where you are faced with making funeral arrangements. Thank you so much Carolyn for taking such good care of me and my family during this difficult time. We truly appreciate you.

The Deerfield Beach Parks and Recreation Department maintains this municipal cemetery as well as…read morePineview Cemetery. The city of Deerfield Beach sells the plots as well as maintains the ground. Dating from the 1800's African Americans in Deerfield Beach were buried in unmarked graves in a 3 acre plot known only as the Old Colored Plot. African American's who came to Florida to work on the railroad were buried there. The 3 acres were slated to be developed into condos until community members complained. Upon further study bodies were found on the site and now the city is in the process of turning that land into a memorial park. Pineview Cemetery took the place of the old colored cemetery and African Americans were exclusively buried there. Deerfield Beach Memorial Cemetery was the all white cemetery. The land was donated to the city in 1933 by William L. Kester, a merchandise importer who made the stipulation that the land he was giving must be solely used as a cemetery for the Caucasian race. 54 years later in 1987 that changed when the city was sued by the widow of Mayo Howard, who was the second highest ranking black officer in the history of the city's police force. She claimed that the city told her that her husband could not be buried in Memorial Cemetery because of his race. The city denied her claim and reached an out of court settlement where his widow Evelyn received a small settlement, was issued an apology, and Howards body was moved from Pineview into Memorial. Kester's descendants have since issued the statement that they have no problem removing the race clause from the deed. It was common in the 1920's and 1930's for land deeds in Broward county to have race clauses. Although Howard was the first African American to be buried in Memorial he was not the last and the cemetery is integrated now. I came by on a Saturday afternoon to explore the cemetery from a historical perspective. It is located across the street from Pioneer Park. Cemetery residents include Deerfield Beach pioneers James D. and Alice Butler. The Deerfield Beach Historical Society operates a museum in their former home. Unlike some other cemeteries I have visited in South Florida this one is extremely well maintained. The city is doing an excellent job maintaining the grounds. I saw a grave underneath a tree dating back to a soldier from the Spanish American War and the graves of babies from the 30's and 40's when infant mortality was high. To visit this cemetery is to pay respect to the men and women who built Deerfield Beach into the thriving multicultural city it is today.
