    This sacred space, hidden away from most of this city might be the most interesting, educational,…read moreand easily the saddest bit of history in the city, widely ignored. I'd doubt most people even know it exists. And yet, it is one I wish everyone in this city would visit at least once. Located on the back southeast corner of the Haskell Indian Nations campus are several rows of graves enclosed by a modern metal fence, the headstones, many from the late 1800s, but a few as late as 1943. It's the reading of those stones that give you pause and tell the sad story. Approximately 100 indigenous children yanked from families and tribes, brought to the campus location when it was a boarding school for native American children--against their will one can only surmise-- for a taste of white European upbringing. Their deaths shrouded in descriptions that suggest many had no way to fend off diseases and illnesses they had no natural immunity against: consumption, pneumonia, accidental death (?), typhoid-malaria, heart and kidney problems. And yet most were under the age of 18. Their headstones filled with common European names surely assigned them upon arrival, their tribe name the only nod to the truth. Over the years I've visited a number of times. One common theme, small toys, trinkets and flowers left upon graves of young children, yet still being remembered by many, likely students of the University, but that's only a guess. Make a point to visit. Peruse the names, the dates, the ages. If this isn't the most powerful piece of history in this city I don't know what is, and it's one we should all be aware of. If you come: street access from the far southeast corner of campus but also from the East Lawrence bike path between 23rd and 29th with one single, short path headed west a few feet through the trees which deposits you squarely at the back of the cemetery. Most definitely worth a visit.

    Beware: salesman tactics. I went to the website which doesn't list any pricing, so I filled out the…read moreonline form to have someone call me back. When they called and asked if this was now or future planning which I said future planning and I said I would like to see a list of pricing of services and they said well it depends on what you needing (FIRST RED FLAG). Then I said I'm looking for "DIRECT CREMATION WITH ALL INCLUSIVE PRICING) and she said "What we want is to schedule a time for you to come in" (RED FLAG). The moment she said "what we want" it was no longer what *I* wanted, especially when I said I was looking for direct cremation with all-inclusive pricing. Why do I need to come in? Why can't you email me what I asked for? I said "NO NO...WE ARE DONE"!!!!! Any funeral sales persons who acts like that you know its buyer beware! They shouldn't be afraid you send you pricing and emailing you what you ask for. This is still Covid and having to come in is ridiculous now days. I'm not paying for salesmen, I'm paying for funeral services!!!! You might want to learn from that!!!

    The Neptune Society came through for me and my family during the death of my father.

She had a lot of respect for our culture as we are Chinese American. **Do yourself and your children a favor, make your wishes known in a document, or at the least in a conversation! Grief makes it hard to figure out what is best for a loved one.
