If you go onto their website it is very informative with regards to what you are allowed to leave behind on loved ones markers, how long they leave flowers out before collecting them as well as what to do if you have a headstone in need of repair. It's an extremely peaceful area, away from any major freeway noise and as it's veterans and their loved ones buried here it's nice to see how well everything is preserved and respected.

To some, it may be an odd mix of stone and grass in a growing suburbia, but it can also show the acceptance of the space. This cemetery is not large. It does not take long to explore. One can find weathered headstones from the early 1900s revealing the culture value of a woman as the "wife of" someone. One can find those who gave their lives to military service. While reading the graves or exploring history, here are some things to examine here and at other burial sites. Not every resting place has these feature. - The chronological placement of people - The use of dates (year vs exact day) - Language engraved into the stone - Broken or toppled headstones (don't vandalize) - Weathered headstones that are hard to read - Replaced headstones (stone type doesn't match lifespan) - Footstones (normally with initials) - Stone type and size - Section names - Potter's field (where nameless people are buried) - Maintenance of the grass and other plants - Presence of real or synthetic flowers - Offerings of pebbles or pennies - Trash (to please throw away)

A few years ago I attended the funeral of a dear friend of mines grandmother at Hixson Klein…read moreFuneral Homes and after the funeral, the Funeral Director (Jack Klein) went to eat dinner with the family and I. I had the honor of sitting next to Jack and talking about his work. I asked questions that I am sure were hard for him to answer with the family present, and looking back that probably wasn't the best place to talk to him about his work, but I have to say that Jack was very professional and made us all feel great with his responses to our questions. I really liked talking to him and right then I put it in the back of my mind to call his funeral home if I ever needed such services. Fast forward several years later and I was in need of a funeral home when my father (Ronald Rinkenbaugh) passed away on July 23, 2022. Being extremely upset with the loss of my father and best friend of 48 years, I was lost and the only person I could think of was Jack Klein and how amazing he was in handling my questions before. My mother and I were lost and didn't know at all how the funeral system worked or who to call first. A family friend said to call a funeral home and that they would help us. That's when I knew it was time to call Hixson Klein Funeral Homes and see if I could talk to Jack. I dialed the phone number and the most soothing and calming voice answered the phone and that was Christa Musser, who is Jack's daughter. Instantly Christa calmed us down and was just the voice and guidance we needed at that time. Christa made sure to give us quick pricing and different options over the phone so we had something to work with. Instantly my mother (who is usually slow on making decisions) said "That's who I want to handle my husband and his remains". Christa scheduled a meeting that afternoon at 1:00pm and we had an immediate sense of relief come over us. We met Christa and she sat down with us and gave us all of the options. She also looked at my fathers work history and military background and gave us options that we didn't even know were available to us. Christa knew we were struggling and she even went above and beyond to tell us that we were eligible for a FEMA grant to burry my father that would pay $9,000 of his funeral expenses. This really was where Christa and Hixson Klein Funeral Homes stood out above other funeral homes. Not only did Christa offer the advice and assistance we needed, she took the time to help fill out and fax the forms to FEMA and made sure everything was easily read and processed correctly. During the funeral Jack was very attentive to our needs and even offered water to guests and family during the visitation. Our funeral for my father was absolutely beautiful and a huge success. I don't think anyone could have done it better than Hixson Klein Funeral Homes. My aunt was so impressed with their professionalism that she has decided to have Hixson Klein Funeral Homes handle her funeral and she is currently living in Little Rock, Arkansas. If you're needing a funeral home, I would highly recommend that you put your trust in Hixson Klein Funeral Homes as I feel truly blessed that they were there for my family in our time of need.

In terms of variety of memorial efforts, this is a great place to explore. I kindly disagree with…read morethe first review which stated, "This was an average cemetery. Had a few cool mausoleums and headstones." There are several mausoleums dotted on the hills. The grounds are full of headstones as well. Some note military service, some are original to the early 1900s, and some are pieces of art. In addition, it was not clear to me if the receiving vault is still in use judging by the building's exterior. Furthermore, one can find peace and reflection walking among the headstones. Maturing trees offer repose. The hilltop has a section honoring those in religious life. From there, a magnificent view of the city's skyline is visible. These things explain why this place has 2/2 5-star Google ratings. As I do not personally know anyone buried at this cemetery, I cannot attest to the speed, quality, nor consistency of funerary service.

My late fiance is buried here just as of last year when he passed away many years ago. At first they messed up the stone with the wrong spelling and it was delayed for several times. They finally got it fix and it is just perfect now. His location has a great view of downtown and a beautiful view when the sunset or sunrise. Sometimes it can get noisy with all the sirens from the police cars or passerby. But at times, when you just sit there and enjoy the nature for a while, it is calm and fulfilling. They do clean up around once a while and keep it tidy with the grass and trash. Please note, It is a one lane drive if you decide to go by car and they do have plenty of spaces for your family or loves ones. There's a lot of culture and history here.
