This is one of the most unusual Yelp reviews I have ever done but here goes!…read more We used Buxton & Bass for my mother's funeral and viewing. The facilities are beautiful. We only had the viewing there but there is a dining room for meals and various seating areas. The decor is rustic and nice. The funeral director, Matt, was great to work with. He was available at all times to answer questions and was very knowledgeable about every part of this process. I never felt pressured to make a decision or a purchase. They have a great selection of caskets and paper themes. Matt was great at directing attendees and handling all of our requests. Anyone planning a funeral is going through a crappy time. I really felt like the Buxton family made this period of my life as easy as possible and I totally recommend them.

I happened to stumble by luck upon this cemetery on the way to the Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State…read morePark. It seems to be a private cemetery, and there's no information available about the cemetery online, oddly enough. The oldest headstones indicated that the deceased died sometime in the 1800s, so I am led to believe that this must have been when the cemetery was established. The older headstones seem to be in the northeast quadrant, though a few newer burials are there as well. Of note are some infant burials, including a family who buried about 4 or 5 infants and perhaps a stillborn baby. Many Basinger and Okeechobee pioneer families are buried here. There are also a few veterans and even Confederate soldiers. The cemetery is not too large, but well-maintained and scenic, with trees overhanging with Spanish moss, making the place very tranquil. There is a field of cows nearby, so the only sounds you will hear are an occasional "moo" and the conversations in a thick, Southern accent of folks coming to visit the dead (big cultural shock for someone living in Miami, where Southern accents are unheard). Many of the graves had lovely statues, personal effects such as teddy bears, wind chimes, and artificial plants. The black granite headstones with nature scenes were especially beautiful. Despite the fact there is no gate to keep people out at night, there were no signs of decay, abandonment or vandalism, which is remarkable, given how often that happens here in Miami. Perhaps people in rural towns are more respectful of properties and the dead? They even greet anyone they come across, another thing that you never encounter in Miami.

We first saw the corral of cows and turned around to take a look, then saw the entrance to the cemetery.. We were amazed by the Confederate Army graves and how they were marked and showing the brief history of service of some of the members.. Googling a name or two gave their complete life history including where and when they served in the Confederacy. If you head further west on SR 98 about 10 miles you will enter maybe a 20 mile stretch which is inhabited by American Bald Eagle with their nests perched along the powerlines. Great ride, and such a serene part of Florida.

We worked with Funeral Director, Steven, and from the very beginning he was both patient and kind with my sister and I during this difficult time. He guided us throughout every step of the process, from the tribute photo gallery, the obituary, to the stunning prayer cards, We were overly impressed with the service that he provided to us and extremely grateful. The day of the funeral Steven worked hard to make the day perfect for our guests. He puts pride in his job and this shows that he really enjoys what he does. Steven ensured that our Mom's memory was honored in the most dignified manner. Overall, I highly recommend Seawinds Funeral Home, their unwavering commitment to providing compassionate care and exceptional service is a testament to their dedication to serving families during their time of need. If you are in search of a funeral home that will treat your loved one with the utmost respect and dignity, go with Seawinds Funeral Home.

We are a large and spread-out active-duty military family and were scrambling. All County did not return voicemails or emails asking for clarity. WHY? -All Country scheduled LANDSCAPERS, visible and audible from inside the chapel service, cutting trees at the time my family was forced to accept. WHY? Seriously, wtf. -Prayer cards had wrong birth and death dates. (VERY wrong dates, not small ones that could be missed.) When this was pointed out at the service, family members (with the widow of the deceased present) were told "it doesn't matter." WHY? Just remove them and say "We will fix this asap if we can." That such a response was within the boundaries of "acceptable response to guests at a service" is a sign of professional rot. Again, wtf. They are very efficient and the Chapel is a nice setting, but a cavalier attitude toward HUGE mistakes is a sign of professional rot. They will ignore, deflect, and deny until the last minute leaving families floundering. I can only offer a mixed review.
