If you like history, this is a great place to visit just because of the long history that is here…read more During the 1800's (1888 to be exact) 2000 acres of land (think 10 1/2 Piedmont Parks) was used in this area to grow fine Hungarian wine and was home to a massive vineyard owned by Ralph L. Spencer. At the time there were over 200 Hungarian families that lived right on this land that extended to three different communities. Those who lived here were experts at crafting wine, they were invited to come here and migrated from Pennsylvania. The Georgia Prohibition Act of 1907 completely stopped the production of wine in the state and therefore forced many of the Hungarians to move back to PA. Some of the families decided to stay here, where there was a school, shops, streets and now what is just left, a cemetery. The Budapest Historical Cemetery can be found through these directions, this is the fastest way to get here. Take I-20 West towards Birmingham Take Exit 9 (it is 5.3 miles from here) -- Turn Right off Exit 9 (towards Love's Gas Station) (0.9 Miles) -- Take Left on Wall Street (Past Waco City Hall) (0.3 Miles) -- Take Left on E-Atlanta St/US-Hwy 78 (2.1 Miles) -- Take Left on Landfill Rd (0.5 Miles) -- Budapest Cemetery; can't miss it. The street here ends. Another interesting fact, during the time there was over 12,000 acres of vineyards in the area. That is like 63 1/2 Piedmont Parks. I never knew Georgia produced so much wine, well, in the 1800's that is. For those who visit the cemetery, they will notice all of the tombs face the east, all those who are buried here were buried with the tomb and their heads to face the east (face the old country, Hungary.) I'd recommend visiting this historical place, at least once, even if you are not Hungarian. [Review #402] (49th Review of 2016)

But I do feel that it's important to share our experience, since it was helpful when we looked into a cremation service. They were recommended by our hospice nurse, and I must say they were phenomenal throughout the entire process. This is a very difficult time, but everyone at Leaf Cremation was very caring, thoughtful and professional. Brookle was our main contact and she stayed in constant contact with us. She answers any questions very quickly and explain the process to us. We went to see our son one last time before the actual cremation took place and we found the place to be peaceful and calming. After seeing him, we walked thru the cemetery next to their location, and it was also a very serene and tranquil walk. Leaf Cremation also has many options for urns, jewelry, keepsakes, etc for your loved one ashes if you wish. If you looking for a cremation service in the ATL metro, we cannot recommend Leaf Cremation enough

The first time was for my father, and his wife made all of the arrangements. I was involved primarily as support. It was a nightmare. The funeral home tried every trick in the book to upsell her services, flower arrangements, and caskets/urns. When my mother passed away a few weeks ago, I was referred to Salmon Funeral Home. I called and then went in person, dealing primarily with Kyle Kiser. The whole experience, from beginning to end, was phenomenal. Kyle walked my sister and me through the entire process and explained all of the fees, necessary services, and what to expect, down to the filing of the insurance policy. He was "Johnny on the Spot" the entire time and never missed a beat in keeping us informed. He never once tried to upsell any service or offering and was completely transparent from beginning to end. I highly recommend their services to anyone having to deal with the death of a loved one. They were excellent!!!
