I know cemeteries can be spooky and downright chilling for most people, but Heritage Memorial Park will make you rethink on how cemeteries are like. It's completely modern and cool. Not scary at all, even at night time. In fact, the memorial park is beautiful. It has different areas with themes (like a Pagoda). It's clean, well kept and has greenery and hills. Seemingly full of life where life has gone. Even speakers that play lovely ballads throughout the day like Josh Groban's music. It's almost like how heaven for spirits on Earth would look like. In their website it says "world-class services and facilities, and a team of highly-trained and dedicated professionals at your disposal" and I totally and 100% agree! My dad's tita was buried here and the services were top notch. My relatives availed of one of the memorial packages that had my tita's coffin have...GET THIS...a horse drawn gold carriage and then at the burial site, a bagpiper (in costume) was playing in the distance on top of a hill. Say whatttt!? Even the lowering device for the coffin was gold (not real gold). They've won awards AND they have park activities like outdoor film screenings! *insert in love emoji* If that's not quality service, then I don't know what is. So in the future or if you're currently looking for a cemetery for your loves ones (or for yourself?), I highly suggest Heritage Memorial Park! It's even just a nice place to visit even if you don't have loved ones there. Side story: I shot my finals here for my photography class in college. My professor loved my images so much he gave me a 98/100!

I don't often look back on the last time I had to be here because the memory makes me uncomfortable…read moreand saddens me, but for the sake of this review, I will. An acquaintance of mine recently passed away due to unmentionable circumstances and so I had to pay respects and attend her wake. Heritage Memorial Park is a SIGHT TO SEE. My friends and I were sitting outside on a bench and we reminisced about our friend's life. The inside of the chapel was gorgeous as well. This place reeks of class but it's really not something that you notice firsthand given the reason that you're there in the first place.

Manila Memorial was previously an exemplar service of funeral procession; recently, they have shown…read morepoor accountability, fraudulent actions and a lack of care for how they handle a family's grief. One of their poorly trained, insensitive coordinators took our great grandmother's guest book and placed it in the coffin, to be buried with our dearly departed, without our consent or knowledge. Rather than offer to remedy this, they demanded a minimum payment of 34,000 pesos with additional fees. They see no fault in their lack of professionalism and would rather scam grieving families. This lack of accountability is gross, fraudulent and unjust. If you can avoid their service, I would. We hope that they find God and justice in their hearts and remedy this; but thus far, they show their greed and vile nature. I hope you all find God.

The Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and Columbarium, is so close to NAIA Terminal 3 that…read moreyou could almost walk there. The area has an ecclesiastical museum with beautiful artwork of St. Therese. The shrine also has its own Adoration Chapel and a flower shop. Mass there is something to see. The entire area is softly lighted and you can hear mass no matter where you are sitting. It is very close to the Marriott, and I understand it is used a lot for weddings with the reception at the Marriott. We simply went to mass and looked at the lovely art work. It was wonderful.

The Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and Columbarium, or simply St. Therese Shrine, stands…read moreright across NAIA Terminal 3 and within the vicinity of Newport City that houses the busy Resorts World Casino complex. The shrine is among the most popular wedding venues in the southern areas of Metro Manila. Apart from the bright altar that makes use of natural light (making it perfect for post-wedding photo ops), the church has tastefully designed interior. Plus, it's near Manila Marriott Hotel - itself a favorite reception venue with its huge ball and function rooms. In short, if you get wed at St. Therese, you won't need a bridal car if your reception is held at Marriott Hotel. The minimum fee for a wedding at the shrine is PHP 40,000.00 and that gives you one and a half hours of air-conditioned use of the church, a basic flower package, a soloist and pianist, a royal blue carpet for the aisle, and a priest. Weddings can be pencil-booked for three days, after which an official reservation must be made with 50% downpayment. Another attraction of the shrine is the columbarium. It houses 38,000 vaults or niches which can each fit four urns. The area also has an Ecclesiastical Museum displaying artwork about the life of St. Therese. The shrine also has its own Adoration Chapel and a flower shop.

We had a chance to use Arlington Memorial's services on two occasions last year and during both…read moretimes, we found their staff and facilities to be satisfactory. We have always opted to use Hall A, which is the largest chapel that they had. Hall A is part of the new building and it features high ceilings and large glass windows that let in a lot of natural light. White canvas blinds and adequate air conditioning gave the space a very open and comfortable feel. Hall A also comes with an en suite toilet and shower plus a pantry with a fridge, a microwave, a wet sink, and an LCD TV. Hall A is actually detached from the rest of the chapels, which gives you some privacy. The other chapels in the old building, frankly, feel a bit claustrophobic. Arlington has its own crematorium and for families who choose this option, the staff thoughtfully orchestrates a farewell ceremony where loved ones will strew flowers and write messages to the person they have lost. Other conveniences include in-house coordination for the publication of obituaries in major newspapers and accredited caterers. The only constructive criticism that I could offer is that they do need to repair their chipped sidetables and fraying upholstery. They might also consider upgrading the plastic Orocan pail that they use as makeshift rubbish bins in public areas.

Doing business with them was a breeze from our phone call to get a quote all the way through closing. They have someone in the office 24hours to attend to your questions and needs. They ask the right questions to help you and walk you through what you need or what may need in case you forgot to ask anything. They have a variety of chapels available for what you may need. Some are a little outdated and need some TLC but they are all clean & presentable (at least the ones we have seen). Staff are quick to respond when you have a request for service. For a fee, a priest can also be requested if you are unable to find one. Be ready to pay in cash for a request to extend past the 5 days on your contract. Overall, we had a great experience with them. And would recommend them to anyone.

During lunch after doing a tour on the Ton Le Sap Lake, my cousin's boyfriend starts breaking down. He had just read a text on his cellphone and I knew immediately what had happened. HIs mom had been ill and he had been hesitant about going on the trip. Now she was gone. When we flew home the next day, we parted in the morning and I met him here that evening for his mom's wake. I had never been here previously so I didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be a decent funeral home. It was clean, there was an elevator, and everything seemed to be organized.
