We scheduled my Mom's funeral with this place, having to make the arrangements over the phone…read morebecause we live in Arizona. We requested that the service be held in the chapel at the cemetery. The morning of the funeral, everyone was waiting outside the locked chapel. A cemetery worker drove up in a pick-up and told us we should go to the crypt. There was NO ONE available from the funeral home to address this with. Some people were late for the service and a few missed it entirely because they did not know where to go. When I addressed this later with my contact person, he said services are normally held at the crypt and that he would have someone from the cemetery validate this for me. The guy form the cemetery called me and said while services are USUALLY held crypt-side, we could have requested they be in the chapel. This means my funeral home contact did not communicate my wishes. In addition, even if they are normally held at the crypt, then he could have told me this in advance. At a minimum, terrible communication and outright lies.

For this type of need, at such a difficult time in life, Chris has truly been a blessing. Chris Chelbana has also served the funeral needs for my father, and most recently sister, with the highest degree of professionalism, dignity and respect. His charges for funeral services are very reasonable and more importantly he treats you and your circumstance as a friend and not just another customer to be processed then out the door. He even has gone above and beyond with accommodating us in the surrounding situations with our sister's unexpected passing. Also, as a side note, and having been there several times, the funeral home itself is very nice due to Chris's restoration and improvement efforts. To Chris and Castle Hill I can only give the highest of recommendation. Richard Z.

This was my original review. "Burying someone who has been your spouse for 64 years in very hard…read more My wife passed away last summer, and I ordered a double marker from Elmwood. There have been a couple of problems with the way it was made, and Mike is working with me to get this resolved. I believe the problem lies with the company that actually makes the finished stone, instead of with Elmwood. But I bought the marker from Elmwood, so they are ultimately responsible. I expect to have this resolved satisfactorily. I'll update my review when things are finalized." ____________________________________________________________________________ Updated August 2023: Once a marker is sent back because it was not made right, you would expect it to be right the second time. It was not! And it wasn't right the third time either. Mike got in touch of the owner of the company that does all the machine work to make the marker appear as it was ordered. The owner told Mike he would personally see to it that it would be made right this time. We actually have the marker installed, looking as it was ordered. This was a long time coming! Since it was so difficult to have it done properly, Mike offered a discount, which I thought was more than fair. This particular transaction was difficult for both Mike and me, but in the end I think we were both satisfied. The marker looks great, and the original price given was substantially less than they wanted at the cemetery where my wife and son are buried.

My husband and I live out of state and recently were in the area so we stopped by to see our…read moredaughter's grave in the Babyland section of Oakland Memory Lanes. Sad to say, we couldn't find her marker as it had been covered over by grass and dirt over time. After we arrived home, I called to ask about locating her grave and having it raised. The office personnel informed me that they were only allowed to do that with the family's permission and that they would notify the groundskeepers to find and raise her marker. It did take a few weeks and several calls, but Tawana stayed on task and told me she would make sure the groundskeepers would take care of it right away. True to her word, the next morning I found a text from her with a picture of our baby's marker raised and reset. It really comforted my heart to see it again. Tawana even took the time to personally call me to make sure I saw the text. She went on to say that when we plan on stopping by again, we should let them know and they would put a purple flag on her grave so we could easily find it. That's going the extra mile! I would recommend to anyone who has a similar issue with a loved one's sunken marker, that they contact Tawana and give them permission to have it reset. Patricia M.

Graves are not maintained. Never seen any maintenance people working around in the cemetery…read more Headstones are sunken and uneven (look like they were driven over, how disrespectful) The way they leave a recently buried person's grave is disgusting. I'm not even a family member of this person and it disgusted me to see the way it was left. Office people are rude (unless they are trying to sell you something, they will kiss your butt then, but once they have your money it's another story) The roads are terrible to drive on with huge holes. The signs throughout the cemetery are trashy. I hate coming here this place has gone downhill. My grandparents were buried here in the 70s and this used to be a nice, well taken care of cemetery...it's not anymore. Family members shouldn't have to complain about sunken headstones that's regular maintenance. I've never had to complain at the other cemetery my family is buried at and it looks way better than this trash. I guess dead people don't make money so why bother to show them respect.
