I had the chance to visit Indy's Floral Park Cemetery on the near-westside of Indy earlier today as…read moreI was taking a trip west to snag a Yelp restaurant review. Floral Park falls under the Washington Park Cemetery Association. It has a funeral home on-site and has been in existence since 1910. Floral Park offers burial and cremation services. They have a Flanner Buchanan funeral center and an event center with two large event room and additional rooms available for community use. They also have catering options. The cemetery itself is much larger than I realized. Famous, or in at least one case notorious, people buried at Floral Park include blues musician Leroy Carr, Hall of Fame Pro Baseball Player Oscar McKinley Charleston, race car driver James R. Packard, race car driver Chuck Rodee, and notorious killer Steven Judy (who was executed for the killings of 23-year-old Terry Lee Chasteen and her 3 kids). There are approximately 90,000 burials at Floral Park. Indianapolis's first cemetery, Greenlawn Cemetery, is actually located within these grounds and is marked with a large black stone. It was established around 1821. While it's doubtful that the remaining graves actually are the full graveyard, you can tell by those present that they are remarkably old. At the time it was approximately 7 acres and still contains both Union and Confederate soldiers from the Civil War. Former Governor James Whitcomb was originally buried at Greenlawn before being exhumed 40 years later and moved to Crown Hill Cemetery. Interestingly, at one point a good portion of Greenlawn was closed and developed into Federal League Ballpark. I was honestly amazed at the size of Floral Park. While it's certainly not as large as Crown Hill, it's quite amazing. You can tell it's an older cemetery and it does appear some renovation work is going on. The grounds are generally well kept and you could see quite a few visitors on this beautiful Saturday. Everyone I met, and I was surprised how many people actually spoke, was friendly and I met a beautiful 16-year-old pit bull. There's some difficulty in actually tracking in the cemetery, though you can apparently get a map in the office. I found, for example, that the Find A Grave website labeled things in a way differently than things are labeled at Floral Park and while the website might label things with section numbers it seemed like Floral Park used actual names for most of their sections. As is true for many larger cemeteries, there are different sections including a rather sad section known as "Babyland." Judy's grave was somewhat set apart, probably wise considering the nature of his crimes. There also seemed to be an extraordinarily large section that had quite a few graves with children and families. Floral Park Cemetery doesn't have quite the awe-inspiring aura of a place like Crown Hill, but it feels very much like it's a cemetery that radiates the heart and soul of Indy. I was honestly amazed how many people were actively visiting and how many graves were clearly well remembered and loved. I watched as one older woman walked delicately in the Babyland section. You can't help but wonder about their story and pray for them.

So our loved one recently passed away and it was quite sudden so when leaving the hospital they provide you with a list of funeral homes and you need to make a decision within 24 hours of your loved ones passing! We first contact W&B because they came highly recommended and am I glad we did choose them! LaMonde Nixon the director was really patient with us and not judgmental of our family dynamics and dysfunction but helped us maneuver through the most difficult time of someone's life! From Ms. Norma at the front to Kayla everyone was so warm and understanding! As Mr Nixon was able to smoothly work with our insurance company and we found a plan that was suitable for our needs! So if you're ever in the need of a good funeral home and I pray that you won't be in a need any time soon but if you are I truly recommend Williams & Bluitt Funeral Home!

It happened to be my uncle so I called. I left a message and no one bothered to call me back. I called again two days later and left another message. Again, no return phone call a week later.

I would think that if they are asking for information and someone calls in, they could at least have the courtesy to return the phone call even if to say thank you for call and that they don't need any additional information. If that's the kind of service they offer, would you really want them caring for your loved one?

The trails to the left, on the other hand, are well- lit and sunny. On our most recent visit, my husband and I stumbled upon a very small cemetery. I thought that it might have been a pet cemetery due to its size, but after some quick research, my husband was able to find information regarding the family that it is believed to have belonged to. It was both creepy and cool at the same time. We walked a loop that was surprisingly dense at points and I was amazed at the fact that we didn't pop back out onto the main trail as quickly as I'd thought we would. There were some very steep slopes at points that were marked with cones that I found to be quite dangerous, but it's nature, so what are you going to do?! I love the preservation of this natural/ wild space. The sound of the birds in the forest canopy is calming and there are several places to stop, have s seat and just listen. There is also at least one of those tiny community libraries located there, as well as many other interesting features.
