Woodlawn Cemetery is a historic cemetery located in Tampa, Florida. It is large and I was looking…read moreat some of the graves and many of the graves were of people born in the 1800's. I enjoy walking old graveyards. We seemed to have more reverence for our loved ones and many of the graves were adorned with the photos of people who left this earth a hundred years ago. One cool set of headstones, well, statues actually, were of a doctor and his wife. Again, I find that people had more reverence for the graves of their loved ones. I am happy that I found this historic graveyard. For me, there is something to be said about walking through the final resting spot where people rest after spending a complete life, filled with joy and laughter, as well as sadness and tears. I will give here five stars.

When speaking to my family, there seems to have been several missed opportunities to make the experience more memorable. First of all, they offered a complimentary portrait which they could not do from a jpeg and had to be from a photo. There was no portrait at the funeral as a result. We are in 2020, so new photos are hard to come by other than in digital form. They also offered a video link which was good to allow people to watch since there was limitations of the number of people allowed due to the virus. The video link did not have the sound on the microphone so the entire family watching on the video missed the priest's sermon. I called twice to tell them and they did not seem to respond to my request. The last straw was I had ordered flowers through the funeral home and they did not deliver what I had ordered. See what I ordered first and what I got second. This was an overall off-putting experience to the point that everyone in the family is now wanting to do cremation instead!!

Residents include the original Native Americans of Tampa, Cuban Pirates, Slaves, confederate soldiers and of course the pioneer families that built this city including the first mayor, the first lawyer, the Ybor family, the Kennedy family and many other well known names. A famous grave included in this cemetery is a very inspiring story. At the time of burial it was a very controversial story. A grave site that has made national attention! Here lies William Ashley and Nancy Ashley. A city leader and slave owner buried with the servant he fell in love with and shared a home with. In the end he insisted they were buried together where they could finally be together free from judgement. In 1873 this was unheard of. The inscription is "Here lies Wm. Ashley and Nancy Ashley, Master, and Servant,Faithful to each other in that relation in life, in death they are not separated. Stranger consider and be wiser, In the Grave all human distinction,of race or caste, mingle together In one common dust.To commemorate their fidelity to each other this stone was erected by their Executor. John Jackson, 1873." Visit this cemetery get to know the people who built this great city!

It HAD NOT been filed with the SS office, the lady was shocked, after having had a year to do so. THIS was the funeral home's duty, Adam W! In 2023, I left the hospital a few hours after my son passed, in no shape to drive. My X is a bully: my son lived with me by choice, yet I was given no say. I wanted a memorial, as my son's friends loved him. X railroaded through to do things his way, insisting he put out the least amount of money he could. I would have gladly paid it all for a memorial and tried to do so at a more local business. We signed the exact same contract with the funeral home, each paying half for cremation, ( I guess, but rereading it, I wonder!) with 4 hours divided visitation. X was allowed to decorate the room, bring his sister and current wife, neither of whom knew my son! Adam Wojciechowski, BC rep, brutally insisted I could bring no one; I was barely allowed a driver. He was just another bully, making a horrible time worse. I am sure X spoke negatively about me, but that should not have mattered at all! We signed the same contract. The decorated room was there, my son in it, and I had NO SUPPORT. While X is exmilitary/now civil service, that should not have mattered. This place prob. caters to the military, but Adam et al treated my son and me with no respect at all. TRUTH. I don't even give them one star really.
