Very pretty grounds between the train tracks and US-1…read moreFlorida Memorial Gardens is located in Rockledge, Florida on a narrow strip of land between US-1 and the train tracks. It first opened its gates in 1956 as Brevard County's first memorial-plan cemetery. It covers roughly 40 acres and offers traditional in-ground burial, mausoleum entombment spaces, cremation gardens, private family estates, and a serene veterans' section with avenue-style flag displays. The grounds are very pretty and meticulously maintained and give a very serene feel to the area. However, its location directly adjacent to active Florida East Coast Railway tracks can create unfortunate timing issues; freight trains pass with surprising frequency and the sound as they pass are loud enough to interrupt outdoor services at the most inopportune moments. The entrance road is narrow, and parking is limited and somewhat chaotic during larger funerals, often forcing most people to park along the shoulder. Once inside, navigating the grounds on foot can be tricky--because it is an older, full cemetery, graves are placed very close together with few defined walkways, making it easy to accidentally step over burial sites while trying to reach a tent for a service. Despite these practical challenges, this remains a wonderfully dignified, attractive final resting place with over sixty-five years of local history that is a great place to have your loved ones laid to rest.

I purchased property as close as I could get to my Grandmother 4 years ago. There was a bush that…read morekept us from being right next to each other. That bush died this year and was removed and they are not replacing it. I went in to move my spot over less than two feet now that the bush was gone and this was an option. In order for that to happen they want to charge me $5500 in addition to what I am already paying for my space. That's more than I paid 4 years ago. So basically, they want me to pay more than double to move less than 2 feet. Oh, but they offered me 10% off. I sat for over an hour sobbing at the site of where my grandmother is apologizing that there would now be a stranger between us because of greed. I tried. I'm in education and I just can't afford to pay more than double. The manager called later that day about the fiasco and misunderstanding and asked if he could call the next day. That was a week ago and crickets. It would have cost them nothing to move my space over. They still would have had my current space to sell, and, likely to a family member had they done the right thing and treated me with a little bit of humanity. The family was looking to buy 3 more spaces so the whole family was with her. After they showed that greed was the only thing that matter to them, the rest of the family is out. At this point, we may be moving her and finding a better place that cares. There has to be a place with more humanity. I am absolutely gutted and heartbroken.

Beckman Williamson has cared for my family through two of the hardest losses of my life, and I…read morecan't recommend them highly enough. The first time was when my mother passed. Suzanne guided us through every step with kindness, generosity, and patience. She made an unbearable process feel as manageable as it possibly could. This July, my sister passed away very unexpectedly, and the circumstances were far more complex. My sister was Catholic (my mother was not), so this time we needed a much more detailed, tradition-specific service and planning began right over the Fourth of July weekend, which made everything harder from the start. Suzanne, Matt, and their team never once made me feel like anything was too much to ask. They helped fill in gaps the church couldn't cover, helped us plan a rosary hour at the wake, and handled every detail with real care. Even something as small as picking up my sister's ashes was made to feel heartfelt rather than transactional. Having now worked with them for both a non-Catholic and a Catholic service, I've seen firsthand how knowledgeable and adaptable they are across different religions and customs, they never made either experience feel like a one-size-fits-all approach. The facility itself is clean, modern, and spacious, with plenty of room to set up photos, flowers, and memorabilia. They also did a wonderful job running our slideshow and background music during the services. Pricing felt fair, and they worked hard to accommodate our budget regardless of the size or complexity of the service and nothing felt rushed or upsold, just genuine support when we needed it most. As an out-of-state family member, I traveled in for the initial planning, but they've continued to be responsive and helpful with everything I've needed since then, never making the distance feel like an obstacle. There is nothing this team can't handle, and they do it all with genuine compassion. I'm deeply grateful to have had them by my side both times.

Upon calling back to inform them what happened, June ultimately blamed us for this experience, explaining that they would never sell a damaged product and not apologizing once. On the phone, the funeral director Harvey said he witnessed the cremains being put into a sealed bag and an intact urn, and picked up yesterday. The ashes were not in a bag and were picked up days ago. I would not wish this experience on anyone, nobody should have to pick up the remains of a loved one off the floor due to somebody's negligence.

I felt they phoned it in, and were barely present during a very difficult time in our family's time of grief. The only call I received from them was to receive payment. They also had told us they would send us help for the obituary. We received nothing. They didn't bother to call to tell us that my father's ashes were ready. We ended up having to call them. They also didn't call us to let us know about his death certificates. I'm out of town and was promised that they would send the death certificates via express mail. They didn't. Again, among the many, many other things that we have to deal with, we had to follow up with them instead of getting a phone call to tell us the most basic information and the information we did get - that they'd mail the death certificates- was wrong. We did not contract with them for the funeral services, which I'm really glad at this point that we did not. However, maybe if we spent more money with them, they would've been more responsive. Overall, I would absolutely not recommend this organization and would suggest looking elsewhere when you are faced with the death of a family member.

We did not know how it would work because my parents have moved a few times since. The hospice nurse who came the morning my Dad passed called and dealt with Jeff. Jeff is a funeral director at this funeral home. He called me and was so very professional and understanding. He arranged from hours away to find a local funeral home to deal with us. He kept in touch with me during the whole process. He even did what he could from there so the funeral home we dealt with didn't have to. The funeral home near by never even called us or confirmed anything just let Jeff do everything. I highly recommend this funeral home, ask to see Jeff he is very knowledgeable and caring. It was great everything was preplanned the only charges that change is the price of death certificates. Jeff was up front and honest about the difference. Thank you Jeff you made the process so much easier in this sad time.
