The tranquil Decatur Cemetery is a mere few blocks from the hustle and bustle of downtown Decatur, but you'd never know it once you've passed through the gates. We had a lovely time on a gorgeous spring day strolling about the old and new sections. Those who dig history will like puttering around the grounds; there are some really old tombstones here. Free and open to walkers, runners, and dogs, there are some spots like random benches, a gazebo, and a peaceful pond for contemplating life, death, and everything in between. It was nifty to see geese, a duck, fish, bullfrog tadpoles, and a turtle all chilling in the pond. Pick up a guide at the little office house in the new section and learn about and explore this unique facet of Decatur.

To the Entire Team at Gregory B. Levett & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory…read moreWith special thanks to Mr. Donzell Hennigan, Veronica, and all the staff behind the scenes On behalf of the entire King family, we want to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for the love, professionalism, and dedication you showed during the most emotional time of our lives. Planning the funeral of our beloved mother, Lorna Yvonne King, from overseas was not easy -- but your team made every single step feel manageable, respectful, and personal. From all the phone calls you took from abroad, to your willingness to listen, guide, and gently support us, you made us feel like more than clients -- you made us feel like family. To Mr. Donzell Hennigan -- your leadership, compassion, and incredible attention to detail turned a difficult day into something beautiful. You brought calm where there was grief, and excellence where there could have been overwhelm. Your heart made all the difference. To Veronica -- thank you for your warmth, your patience, and the many calls and messages you responded to with kindness. You were a key part of making things run smoothly, and your presence truly mattered. And to every member of your team -- from those we met to those behind the scenes -- thank you for your grace, your coordination, your care with every flower, every arrangement, every movement. The service was one of a kind, and it was everything we hoped it would be for our mum. Thank you for honouring her. Thank you for holding us. Thank you for doing your work with such beautiful professionalism. With endless gratitude, Michael, Jennifer, Barbara, Miajazz, Denzel and the King Family

Having to deal with the death in your family and deal with the nasty uncaring customer service…read moreperson like Sonja D. Is ridiculous. She called my phone three times today to ask for payment and when I got here 2 seconds after she called me she said she couldn't see me for another 15-20 minutes. Why are you calling me and then tell me you don't have time to see me. I waited in the parking lot for the family to leave 15-20 minutes called her back on the phone after the family left and she continued to send me to voicemail four different times. But miss Kathy came in and saved the day RestHaven you have a jewel on your hand and Miss Kathy. Anybody that decides to use the cemetery please ask for Ms Kathy she is awesome!!. I want to give one star to Sonja maybe just a half a star and five stars to miss Kathy

CALL us before taking the items up so we can replace whatever with the proper things. its very disrespectful i feel like to unmark someone grave that headstone havent came in & the family / friends just want to keep some type of marking to keep her visible to others. CALL US !!!!!!!

The chapel was clean, had sparkling crystal chandeliers (they were very clean), and the stain glass windows were simple but nice. Black piano in the lobby added a very classy touch, and contributed to the nice atmosphere. Seems like there were a lot of friendly employees available to assist quests. Also, it seems like the venue was able to house an other service simultaneously. I'm very impressed with the entire business. There were monitors on the wall that were reflecting some family memories. However, great bonuses were the acoustic in the room and well working microphones so the quest could actually follow the beautiful seremon and the lovely songs performed by the mourning family members. Parking lot was not paved but at least there was enough parking. There were some parking spaces on the street as well.
