Manuel and his team since the beginning were so kind and patient. Manuel did not judge and communicated with us through the entire process. The service that we had there was simple but beautiful and Manuel and his team did everything to make sure my dad had a great service. I cannot recommend them enough. Manuel did not try to sell us unnecessary services and was empathetic the entire time. While it is hard to go through planning a funeral, you can rest assured that Manuel and his team will make the planning easier and will do everything that they can to give your loved one a beautiful service.

In a time like this, it went a long way. He helped me arrange a viewing here for my dad and worked with my wishes in doing my dad's burial in Mexico. He was always a text away. He really went above and beyond. He was really compassionate & understanding. He kept me in the know about the process and flight information. He was quick with getting all the documents in order. My dad will be laid to rest in Mexico, 3 weeks from his passing. That's all thanks to Adrian and Basham Funeral care. When we had our viewing, everything looked perfect. We were allowed food for our guest and they provided coffee and water. We were never rushed during our viewing, saying goodbye is never easy and they were more than understanding. Thank you Adrian and Basham Funeral Care for taking such great care of my dad and for taking care of everything in such a difficult time.

There is nothing they can't do to make our deepest sorrows be less stressful and worrisome. They treated my father-in-law and all our family as if we were part of their family and not a client. Special thanks to Yeobani and David for always going above and beyond their duties and responsibilities.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I would like to give a special shoutout to one of your workers at the cemetery. There were actually two gentlemen who came out, but the second worker, Castro, who came to dig the hole to place my sister's cup back, was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. When I say he took his time and handled everything with such care and gentleness, I truly mean it. He carefully cleaned up the area around the hole he dug and even swept off my sister's headstone afterward. Watching the amount of respect and compassion he showed while doing his work almost brought me to tears. It really was impressive, and it meant the world to me. I also want to say how much I appreciated the promptness in coming out to fix the issue. The kindness and professionalism shown during such an emotional moment did not go unnoticed. Thank you again for the care and compassion your staff showed my family. Sincerely, Alicia Robertson

As I contemplate this review, my heart is full of sadness, as well as my mind. Why? Because every…read moretime I visit this cemetery, I see people walking their DOGS. Why do that? I want to know because I have no clue. AND, WHY does Greenlawn continue to allow this unacceptable 'dog walking' on SACRED property? Why do I say 'unacceptable' and use the word SACRED? Because dogs urinate and defecate everywhere and yes, even on graves of the dearly departed, (and it appears that the owners of the dogs are not picking up after them). Or, Is it because nothing is UNACCEPTABLE nor SACRED any longer? They say "actions speak louder than words" and the fact that there are no signs on the grounds stating "No dogs allowed" SAYS IT ALL. My next thought is 'why hasn't anyone complained to this funeral home about this?' Maybe folks have and it has fallen on 'deaf ears?' GREENLAWN! Keep the grounds GREEN. Stop allowing dogs on this sacred property to disrespect and/or desecrate graves and the grounds. Show family members (and others) of the departed YOU CARE enough to communicate that 'dog walking' on cemetery grounds is unacceptable. Just when I thought society could not go any lower, it appears that it most certainly has reached another all-time low. DOGS just DO NOT belong on cemetery property...because no matter where they are they urinate and defecate which is completely unacceptable on cemetery grounds. Right?

The earliest memory I have of this place was when my grandma passed. I've attended a few funerals…read moreat Greenland Cemetary. I appreciate all the different roads leading into different directions, but the roads sure are small. And if a car or cars are parked on the side of these roads, then it's a tight squeeze. If there is more than one burial at once, it may be hard to know where to go if say you're coming from the chuch or from elsewhere so I thought a RIP "name" sign would be helpful in front of the burial site. It would've helped me, I just followed a car until I saw a group of people, and then I spotted my best friend. The grass is very uneven, and if you're wearing heels, please be careful! During the burial, a staff member spoke, and he was very courteous. I appreciated his tone and the way he spoke very much. Im sure everyone did! It was a beautiful way to say goodbye!
