The Colonial Park Cemetery has a long history, almost as old as Savannah herself. The first burial occurred at the site of Colonial Park in 1750. For almost 100 years many of the burials which took place in Savannah took place in Colonial Park Cemetery. Many prominent Savannahians were buried in Colonial Park Cemetery. The last burial in Colonial Park took place around 1850. After this time Laurel Grove Cemetery was used as the main Cemetery in Savannah. We strolled around reading about the history of the city. Many of the stones were so old that the engravings could not be read anymore...and there were many stones that referred to Providence or Rhode Island natives or sons. Interesting.

They don't have a office like some of the well known cemeteries with staff. Upon entering the grounds they do have maps and a few thing marked. My advice would be go online and look at a few reviews to get more info if you are looking for something specific. Even the maps need to be redone. Things should be clearly marked, its history. I recommend a visit, review the grounds, maybe things will change in the near future.

We found a peaceful place that could've been better kept. It contained graves that were almost 230 years old! One particular place that carried especially heavy emotions and struck me with an extra heavy weight was the slaves burial place. Many where laid to rest in graves that were either unmarked or had headstones that could barely be read due to the lack of upkeep and time. The feeling of pain and sorrow was thick. We stood there for a long time and honored the many lives lost to the unimaginable horror they experienced at the hands of their "masters." Many of the city's African American clergy were also laid to rest here. It's a strange mix of hope and sadness, but it's definitely a place to go if cemeteries are "your thing."

This funeral home is terrible. They were hired to service my father's funeral on 1/12/2023. The…read moreonly good thing I can say about them is that they did a good job on my father's body. Everything else was unacceptable. First, after the viewing, they rushed us into our cars to go to the graveside service. Only, we didn't immediately leave. We all waited in our cars for about 10 minutes until two men came out and asked "Where are the pallbearers?!" Ummm...you mean my brother and my partner? No one informed us that we were expected to bring our own pallbearers. We assumed that the $11,000 we were charged for the funeral that would include pallbearers. My brother, partner, and two cousins jumped up and volunteered themselves to help move my father's coffin into the hearse. Then the nightmare continues. They instructed us to follow them and then proceeded to lead us to THREE different random cemeteries before finally arriving at the correct cemetery where my father was to be buried. How do you not know which cemetery your client is to be buried at, leading a grieving family on an impromptu (and unwelcome) tour of cemeteries all over Savannah?! We finally arrived at the (correct) cemetery and noticed that my father's to be grave was at least 200 feet from where we had just parked. One of the two employees remarked "Well if I had known it was this far, I would have brought the rolling cart. Oh well." The "pall bearers" (my brother, carrying his own father's coffin, my partner, and my two cousins) struggled to carry the 250 lbs+ coffin to the grave. The service, thankfully, went without any additional problems. But the ordeal continued the next day when we realized that we had never received our father's death certificate. We called the nursing home that he passed away at and they stated that Adam's Funeral never sent them the certificate to be signed by their physician. We then had our legal representative call Adam's, and they curtly said that they would only speak to the person who paid for the funeral. So my brother and I went to the funeral home ourselves (along with our legal representative). They immediately claimed that they had just faxed the death certificate to the nursing home (of course). I wouldn't recommend anyone trust this funeral in handing one of the most stressful and traumatic experiences of their lives. Stay away.

The rest of his family live in the Upstate of SC, so we have had to do the majority of our business with Sheri over the phone.

She made a terrible, heartbreaking situation so much easier to deal with by being so kind. I highly recommend this funeral home.

They told his mother they sent them Friday and would provide a tracking number. They have not. There was a blatant mistake in his death certificate. They were supposed to send us an unofficial corrected death certificate. They haven't. I've left messages for Philip and Dusty all last week and their manager Pam this morning. No one has yet to call me back. They are incompetent and completely unprofessional by not returning one phone call. I would never recommend them to anyone. We still have not received his ashes. They were in constant contact when they wanted payment. However after you pay them they will not give you the common courtesy of returning phone calls. Totally unprofessional. Before they file the certificates they should send people drafts to approve or something. I'm beginning to wonder if they misplaced or lost his ashes. We need the death certificate for a charity event. So no I wouldn't recommend them.

That was several days before Christmas. It's now the 2nd of January and I finally got in touch with Tiffany who had no idea what I was talking about but "will look into it." Not a single phone call made to me, ever, explaining the delay or concern. I continue to call, continue to drive to their facility, and still nothing. This is outrageous. No one needs this additional stress during such a challenging and emotional time. Nothing can be accomplished without this very necessary document, which has prevented my family from finalization and suspended us in grief. I would absolutely NOT recommend.

Either way it's not a bad price to get in here and have a great picture spot. I wouldn't recommend taking photos with or among the tombs, but the trees and plants are are nice.
