    I was not in a good place making arrangements for my mother (7/11/22). Less than 30 hours later…read more(7/12), plans changed & I cancelled via phone call and email. I called the establishment and was told to get a typed statement that I cancelled the transaction (7/14) to begin the process of my refund. On 7/25 I was informed that I wasn't due a refund; why did it take this long to inform me of this? Not listed in the terms and conditions and above the signature, (I will admit I missed it because it wasn't with the terms and conditions), "If you purchase this Agreement anywhere other than Firm's place of business the following applies [...] Purchaser, may cancel at any time [...]" I asked Sarasota and their holding company in Gainesville where the heck was I supposed to go to make the arrangements, across the street at the convenience store? What kind of place takes advantage of one grieving? I was told it is up for interpretation for how the statement was phrased. The advice was I could get a broker to sell the niche to which I paid $4.461.00. I tried to pay with a credit card & it wouldn't go through even though I had funds to cover it; ironically my debit card went through. My credit card company told me no such transaction was ever ran through the system on 7/11. They knew I could reverse the charge using a credit card. They used my venerability to swindle me out of my money. A funeral company?? Despicable. I have tried several avenues to get my money back and I am still trying (9/5). DO NOT GO HERE.

    Does not get graves sealed properly!! Could smell the decaying bodies! Wasp nests all over…read moremausoleum! The place is filthy and unkempt! Did not get what we paid for!! Office staff does not care and is very rude! Do not pay to have your loved ones buried here!!! What a shameful place!!! Mausoleum was supposed to have stained glass windows, benches and music, never ever done! So buyers beware and know your loved ones are not taken care of here! Even the flowers get stolen from here!!

    Wow! We had been told this was known as the "Arlington of the South" and were driving past on our…read moreway to somewhere else when we saw the entrance. I actually pulled a U turn. So glad we chose to stop and take some time out of our day to consider the meaning of this important venue. We don't have immediate family buried here but we felt connected to everyone when we departed. My husband and I were both moved to tears reading the quotes and inscriptions from and about veterans who served their country. Besides the quotes, there are multiple displays with photos and captions that tell the story of war. We hope that young people will be encouraged to visit this site to read about the lives of veterans and the deep impacts that their past service has had. Our veterans maintain and uphold the freedoms we enjoy because they chose (and still choose) to step up to defend those freedoms. The folks who put this venue together got it right. Thank you for reminding us of the sacrifices our service members and their families made (and continue to make) on our behalf. I am recommending to everyone that they visit this amazing site. Just be respectful and keep things quiet to honor the brave souls interred here as well as their families. They earned our respect.

    As a Licensed Funeral Director, I spend much time in cemeteries... but the National Cemeteries…read morewhich are for Honorably Discharged veterans, their spouse, and their disabled children; these cemeteries offer top tier service, scheduling, and bronze grave markers. All the employees are veterans and the discipline, organization, and commitment to serve their fellow veterans is something I admire. The National Cemeteries in Florida are nature preserves full of hawks, egrets, deer, rabbits, and even alligators. You can picnic there, but please avoid the puddles.
