    My son was buried at Dayton Memorial Park on Jan. 5, 2010 (Sec 12, Lot 153, Sp1, Invoice #68300),…read morehis headstone was set just before May 30, 2010. The area surrounding the headstone was not landscaped by mid-July and there was an ugly, muddy furrow around the headstone, so I left a message for our salesman ("Bill"). There was no change by August so I called again and Bill called me back, I explained the problem and Bill said he would take care of it. Still no change by September so I stopped in and spoke to Bill directly, again he said he would take care of it. Nothing was done by October so I again stopped in, Bill reported that this was anyone's fault but his (the groundskeepers, other complaining patrons, his boss) and called both the police (to have me removed) and the groundskeepers. I met the groundskeepers at the grave and they did finally fill the furrow with soil before days end. My son's grave looks like complete crap, like no one cares one bit about him. No other action was possible so late in the season, however, and we never received even so much as a note of apology from the General Manager. These people take your money willingly enough but then don't provide the service they promise, and what can you do?

    What is green burial? That is the first thing the Hospice social worker asked as she offered to…read moreassist in finding a funeral home to take mom's body. I could describe it, but did not realize finding a funeral home knowledgeable of the process would be such a task especially at 2 am. The social worker and I Googled a few places and waited for call backs. One location called back and were very derogatory about the cemetery that my mother had chosen, which quickly left an extremely sour taste in my mouth. However, though they were negative and answered very few of my questions, the funeral director did mention there is a Green Burial Council that certifies funeral homes in green burial and their website has a list of certified funeral homes across the country. As we scrolled, we found Routsong. The social worker called as I being the nerd I am looked for online reviews. They were a funeral home I wasn't familiar with nor had anyone in the family used and at 2am I definitely couldn't make a Facebook post for intel as mom needed a place to go ASAP. From the initial conversation to handling the final payment, Routsong has been a godsend. Through the process of planning my mother's celebration of life, I worked closely with Sam Routsong. I found him to be extremely helpful, personable, and knowledgeable. He also helped with working with the insurance companies and cemetery on my behalf, which took a lot off my plate! Planning a memorial is akin to planning a wedding there are so many minute details that can easily be overlooked, but Sam made sure nothing was overlooked and communication was flowing. This was especially helpful as I can be a little OCD when it comes to planning things. He made sure I was able to visit the florist and gave the final ok on the flowers for the memorial. He "officiated" mom's grave side service and he was tremendously attentive to myself and the guest at mom's actual memorial... even to the point where people were like "do I smell cookies baking?" And they did and were served warm cookies and other refreshments as the visitation progressed. Even everyone who attended the memorial were impressed by the service and venue. I cannot speak highly enough of all that Sam and the Routsong family did for me during this difficult time. And I know you want to know the answer to the million dollar question!!! COST... Though I've never paid for a funeral nor memorial before, I found them to be extremely reasonable and accommodating. Whether you have a set budget or the sky's the limit they want to ensure your "vision" is executed without "burying" you in debt. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Routsong family when it comes time for your loved one to transition!
