Reconsider burying your loved one here and avoid heartache. While this cemetery is beautiful, it is not worth how you will be treated over the years to come having your loved one buried there. They strip the graves of any personal memories including flowers at inconsistent times every month including even the day after our son's 21st birthday and 1st anniversary, taking fresh flowers and a memorial plague. They throw everything in a dirty box and we have had many dead, fresh flowers and broken expensive keepsakes. In addition, the head groundskeeper Jeff if downright hostile and cruel when you dare ask him why this is necessary. I have witnessed the tears and pain of many other parents who have children and young adults buried there when they see any small personal memorial ripped away and many times ruined by this cemetery with no compassion. Don't bother to try and get to the bottom of it as we have found the apple valley staff points at the cemetery council, and the council states it is actually the city of apple valley with these ridiculous practices. One council member shared he has also have been a victim of this treatment of his loved one's grave site from apple valley. Find another beautiful cemetery that actually has compassion and spare yourselves the unnecessary heartache. read more
