I never thought I'd be reviewing a cemetery but after visiting it yesterday, the experience was…read moreeye-opening enough for me to write one! Came here with family for a prayer service and watch my late nephew's ashes rest in his niche. The establishment was well-kept, very clean, ornate and gorgeous -- it really does not feel like a typical cemetery that I am accustomed to. Even though it seems like a somber moment, you don't feel sadness walking around here. I felt peace. I felt like everyone here, no matter how tragic their passing was, have moved onto the afterlife with peace. Nothing eerie at all. Even my mother was so impressed, and this was her second time visiting, that she went to the office to inquire for herself. It wasn't until yesterday that it has hit me that burial places are a lot like home-buying, the prices fluctuate, you can buy or sell your plots, and luckily here, there is NO interest rates. That means the moment you buy your spot, you can put a down payment and pay the rest of it at your leisure without worrying about interest. People go to funerals to attend for someone else but yesterday has put a thought into persepective, "What do I do when it's MY turn? What do I want?" My husband and I also had a heart to heart conversation about our preferences too... after all, my nephew had passed when we least expected it so it can happen to ANY of us. I'm glad that we had our talk and that my mom put the plan in motion for her future too. Mrs. Rosa was very helpful, even offered us waters and additional chair for our group. Even the young receptionist was very sweet and professional. Just note that this is a Catholic cemetery, one of two Catholic cemeteries in South Florida at the time of writing this review, so not only is this establishment a rarity, but also very strict. You would have to be a practicing Catholic, so yes, they will ask for the name of your parish. I will ALSO note that they use a lot of paperwork -- which may raise concern that there is no digital database for safekeeping. They do provide copies of your paperwork so KEEP THAT SAFE so in that way if someone misplaces a paper, you have your copy. All in all, a gorgeous cemetery both inside and out. Well maintained. And I saw there's a thrift shop... maybe someday when I'm in the area I can do some shopping!

Founded in 1910, Evergreen is Ft. Lauderdale's oldest intact cemetery. In 1917 the city of Fort…read more Lauderdale purchased the cemetery from Mr. and Mrs. E.T. KIng. A funeral director from Miami moved bodies to Evergreen from a previous burial location near where Southside School now sits. Behind the black iron fence, Evergreen is the final resting place of Ft. Lauderdale's pioneer families. The gravestones here bear the names of the Stranahans, Kings, Cromarties, Bryans, and Olivers. Many of their former homes have been turned into museums. In 1921 The American Legion purchased four lots to bury veterans from the Civil War on. You can find veterans graves marked with American flags. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks purchased lots 34 and 43 for indigent burials. In 1926, hurricane victims were buried in unmarked graves in the north central portion of the cemetery which is also the infant section. In 1935, B'Nai Israel purchased blocks one and two for burials of those of the Jewish faith. The arguably most famous resident of Evergreen is the actor Leslie Nielsen who starred in Airplane and the Naked Gun! His grave is located in the north central section of Evergreen. He was humorous to the end with his headstone bearing the epitaph "Let 'er Rip," which is a homage to his flatulence inspired comedy. The bench by his grave is inscribed "Sit down whenever you can," which was his advice to comedians looking to break into the business. Evergreen has long been rumored to be a supernatural hot spot with reported sightings of lady in white near the crypt where Wayne Huizenga's parents are buried. During the day however it is a peaceful green space filled with trees and birds. The cemetery still has burial plots available. There is always room for one more.

I stopped by to pay my respects to the late, great Leslie Neilsen who we know from his roles in the…read moreNaked Gun movies and the movie Airplane. Yes, he is laid to rest here in Fort Lauderdale. The cemetery is quite lovely and you'll find limited parking. Fortunately, there were no active services underway when I stopped in so I did not have to find anything special. I just pulled the car to the side of one of the main routes and left it. No one seemed to mind. Mr. Neilsen's headstone is in the northern-most part of the cemetery. There's a gray marble bench nearby with one of his quotes "Sit down whenever you can" and it faces his headstone with his dates and his words, "Let 'er rip." Truly a class act to the end and beyond.

It…read morekind of gives one a yucky feeling and though I had planned to live forever or die trying, I've come to realize it will inevitably end up being the later of those two alternatives. So my first hand experiences here were not to be present for any services but to plan for them. When I walked in, I was given a warm and friendly greeting, then introduced to one of the sales staff. I questioned and he gave answers with regards to cremations, burial trust, religious or other services, floral arrangements and obituaries. I think I have this correct that you may contract through various companies which share in the use of Broward Burial & Cremation facilities and each of these companies specializing in certain matters such as price or lavishness ceremonies. Though I haven't contracted for anything as of yet, I remain well impressed with their offerings and capabilities.

This is part of a 2-part updated review. Please see the entire review…read more We ended up having no choice but to use this funeral home after all the harassment and abuse. In the days immediately following my dad's death, we had had too many family members trying to influence our decision. Burial or cremation. We ended up waiting too long and had no choice except to cremate my dad. We had my poor father's remained shipped to us and when I received the package I wanted to absolutely DIE. His cremains were leaking out of the pathetic interior box they used. Opened it further, his cremains were sticking to the clear packing tape on the exterior box and leaking through the corners of the shipper. I only have the ability to talk about this now because it's been some time, my sister handled most of the arrangements and never even saw the box because it was shipped to me. I have worked in the funeral industry since my father passed away. And I am absolutely appalled. A clear plastic liner should have been used to hold my father's ashes inside the black box inside the shipper. I have never, ever seen one NOT used. So my father ended up being spread through Fedex's shipping network. I have seriously wondered if the cremains I received were even my fathers. With no way to prove it, I can only hope that they are. I will never ever forget how horrible things were handled. My father should not have leaked out of the box. And the lady handling the arrangements in their office was horrible, I hope to God she was fired. She verbally assaulted me over the phone. I hope God punishes her.
