    I wanted to visit this cemetery as a continue my historical tour of West Palm Beach. Woodlawn is…read morethe final resting place of some of the pioneers of Palm Beach as well as a mass burial site for the 96 victims of the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane. Over 10,000 people are buried here. The cemetery located on Dixie Hwy across from the Norton Museum is actually made up of three cemeteries, Woodlawn Cemetery, the Jewish Cemetery, and Woodlawn Cemetery North. It is thought the name for the cemetery was taken from the famous Woodlawn Cemetery in New York. Speaking of the Norton it used to be a 200 grave cemetery. It's bodies were supposed to be moved across the street to Woodlawn but not everyone made the trip before the museum was built. In 1904 Henry Flagler purchased 17 acres of a pineapple grove for the cemetery. He spent a lot of money on it and the cemetery was very beautiful with trees and landscaping and it actually became a tourist attraction for the society ladies of the day. Henry Flagler actually intended to be buried here in the center circle but changed his mind when two associates attempted to incorporate Palm Beach behind his back so he is instead buried in St. Augustine. There was also a place for his wife Mary Lily as long as she didn't remarry but she did so she isn't here either. In 1914 the cemetery was deeded to the city. In 1923 the Jewish Cemetery was all places were sold by 1953. Two more acres were purchased by the city in 1975 for the creation of the Woodlawn North Cemetery. This is the area where you will find the more recent burials. The cemetery used to have a confederate monument but it was vandalized after Dylann Roof committed the Charleston church shooting. It was permanently removed in 2017. The entrance to the cemetery used to have an iron gate with the inscription "That which is so universal as death must be a blessing." When Dixie Hwy was widened the gate was lost and it was replaced with a cement arch that bears the quote although no one has been able to determine where it came from. Some of the notable burial at this cemetery include Charlie W. Pierce who was a barefoot mailman and Joe Sakai who was one of the Japanese pineapple farmers in the colony that became Boca Raton. The cemetery is open to visitors from 7 am to 3 pm. It is very easy to drive around. I was primarily interested in the older graves from the 1800's. There are a lot of mausoleums and statues. In one part of the cemetery a tree has grown through the graves. In Woodland north I saw a statue on a grave that was wearing the glasses of the person who now lay in the grave below. It was so touching to see all of the loving tributes on that grave. The older graves are more neglected but still well tended compared to some of the other cemeteries I have visited. The mausoleums are not vandalized like the ones in Miami City Cemetery. Some of them have beautiful stained glass and benches. Surrounded by the tall buildings of downtown West Palm Beach this cemetery is a peaceful final resting places for the people who pioneered the area.

    Unfortunately, I stopped there thinking it was the location of a funeral service for a friend. I…read morewas surprised there were no cars as the ceremony was supposed to begin by 11:30. A woman in the office asked me why I was there. I said that I had a funeral there. She said, what is the name because there was no event. I was shocked and looked at my info again and noticed there was another Quartlebaum in West Palm. When I explained my mistake, she rolled her eyes. I said, would she give me the directions as I was upset with myself for now being late, and unsure how far I was from the other location. You would think I was asking for something monumental. It was like pulling teeth. I thought how odd, are'nt they the same owners?. Is this how you treat your customers when they are mourning? It really put a sour taste in my mouth and was very unprofessional.

I cannot fully express the consideration, the help, and the compassion we received. No parent should have to bury their child. I worked with Danielle, and she helped arrange a private viewing for the family. They created my daughter's life story with their decor and presentation, using our thoughts and pictures. I had advice and help in uploading her pictures for a video to be played that day. They were so thoughtful to her husband and her teenage son. The day was not stuffy or somber. It was truly a celebration of her life. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Miina walked me through everything and made this very difficult time more tolerable. I am so grateful for how nice, patient, empathetic, and caring Miina was with me and my needs. Miina arranged the priest for the service as well. At a time when I could not tolerate decisions or problem-solving, Miina stepped up and made sure to help me make my husband a nice service, memorial and military honors and burial. I would have been lost. All County is a very busy funeral home. Yet, Miina explained things like time-sensitive forms for death certificate and the importance of checking that the information I put on this form is correct or it will lead to long delays to have the death certificate corrected. She checked with me two times before she submitted the form I was responsible to fill out for the death certificate both by email and the phone so I understood the significance of checking every letter and number. I appreciated that she checked two times, knowing I was struggling to pay attention. This is a form filled out not by staff, but by me - the person burying the loved one. She made sure I understood that how I fill out this form is how it goes to relevant agencies. Miina always responded within the same day to emails or calls and she always let me know if she would not be available on certain days. At the end of the day, funeral services are a busy non-stop business. I always felt taken care of by Miina. Of course, I also did not expect things to be done for free - I requested services and expected to get the chosen services for stated fees which are provided to us. I see reviews of people being angry because they expected a business to provide a service for free or angry because the person filled out that death certificate data form wrong, so they blamed the staff when the staff does not fill out that form for the death certificate - the family member is responsible for that form. I get it. It is a hard time, things are hard to process, and it is really hard to pay attention. I also get that I am not the only person to which they are providing services. In addition, there are other agencies the funeral home has to work with and has absolutely, no power over how and when those agencies get things completed. Yet, with all the complications of working with multiple outside agencies to complete everything so we can get to the service - I felt looked after by kind, caring, and empathetic staff - always! I found Miina and All County to be honest, informative, helpful, up-front and really caring and compassionate. I found Miina to be thoughtful and conscientious in her efforts to make things easier for me. She was a helpful guide and I am so very grateful for her going above and beyond in ensuring the things I asked for were completed even when I was not capable of following through or following up. I recommend Miina and All County because they showed up for me! I do point out that the individual also has to manage expectations - in other words, unrealistic expectations always lead to disappointment. I was not disappointed in any way whatsoever. I expected to buy the services I requested for the prices printed. I was pleasantly surprised by a staff that goes above and beyond - they truly care and are sincere in their desire to do the best they can. Thank you Miina and thank you All County!

    My parents for years told me that they had paid for everything including having a mass for my dad…read more When the time came I asked that the service be done at their location since there were very few people coming. The representative mentioned that they saved money would be used to pay all the fees and that I'd possibly get a refund. She mentioned that the original agreement wasn't done correctly and she would go through it and fix it. Eventually she came back and stated that a service was not included, so I asked to have a service at the funeral home. I was told that at 2pm the priest would come to say some prayers (half in English and half in Spanish) that would last 30 to 45 minutes and then head over and give a blessing at the burial. The day of the funeral we were supposed to have the service without a viewing and then the burial. When I arrived I was informed that there was another funeral that day and the priest would do a mass for them first and then come over at around 2:15. The priest did not show up until after 3pm. I quickly reminded the priest about the English and Spanish. The priest rushed through the prayers, finished in fifteen minutes and only spoke in Spanish. When I walked over to the burial area I see the priest at his car. I went to ask him to place a couple statuettes when he did the blessing, but he was very rushed, blessed the statuettes and left. I was later informed that he did indeed bless the site. I sent an email basically stating that I did not feel that I received $300 worth of service. I got no response. I disputed it through my bank and the reply was a copy of the receipt. I emailed the person again and still waiting for a response. If you decide to pre-pay make sure that the agreement is filled out correctly and that each amount is written in the correct section and make sure that any verbal promises are written down on the agreement and initialed.
