The Pineywood Cemetery is located at the corner of Glenridge Way and Lakemont Avenue. This historic…read moreAfrican-American cemetery was established in 1890. During segregation it was the only place African-Americans could be buried so it is a very sacred place to the community. It was managed by the Pineywood Cemetery Association but in 1970 the cemetery was deeded to the city of Winter Park. The cemetery is extremely well kept and is in better condition than many I have visited. The thing that intrigued me the most is there is an app you can download, WPC Explorer that gives you a virtual tour of 21 of the most notable people buried in Pineywood. Through the app you can learn about community leader Ruby Mae Roberts Ball, educational leader Eula Pearl Knolton Jenkins, and DJ Jerry "Disco Jr" Smith. The app also gives a tour of another Winter Park Cemetery, Palm Cemetery. I wish more cemeteries would provide virtual tours like this. This beautiful and historic place of final rest is worth a respectful visit if you are in the area.

My aunt was a pharmacist, who passed away at 84. We chose Chapel Hill since she wished to be burried vice cremated. Chapel Hill has a relatively new hall built in 2018 and a professional team. I remember Patricia and Robert (Bob). A themed decoration "pharmacy" was set up with PowerPoint slides. Our package included light F&B catering. Any last minute changes were taken care of instantly, no questions asked. I highly recommend this establishment, if anyone ever needs Cemetary services.

This is the historic cemetery in Mount Dora. It is owned by the city. In 1866, Mr. and Mrs. J.P…read more Donnelly set aside 2 1/2 acres to be used as Forest Cemetery. It was given to the Forest Cemetery Association in 1919. Then councilwoman Esther Wyatt Bishop, urged that the name should be changed because there were already 28 other cities with a Forest Cemetery. In 1953 the name was changed to the more unique Pine Forest in honor of the trees at this cemetery. The cemetery has since been enlarged to about 20 acres. Graves lie under the pine trees dripping in Spanish moss. The first burial here was a settler named Mrs. I.M. Mabbette in 1881 but her exact grave has been lost. One of the saddest known stories in the cemetery is that of the Warburton family from England. Their grave is the first to have received a marker in the cemetery and it lies to the right of the cemetery in the oldest section. The parents and two children were riding in a wagon on a trip to Eustis when they wanted to stop to water their horse. Their approach to Fiddler's Pond was too steep and the whole family drown on May 21, 1882. Recently some family members of the people buried here have become upset by the removal of the historic concrete coping that separates family plots. The cemetery took them out to make it easier to trim the ground cover. The Mount Dora Historical Society would like to see the coping preserved because without it some grave markers might be lost. If you are interested in history this cemetery is a nice place to walk around and pay respects to the settlers of Mount Dora.

There is something to be said about standing in an area where countless people have been laid to their final rest that have lived a whole spectrum of their lives.

These factories are where a lot of the people I am assuming have worked.

The social worker gave me a list of funeral service vendors in that area. I called around and the prices and approaches were all over the place. A high quote with a discount for being in hospice? Ugh. I looked on Yelp and saw a recommendation by a friend that she thought Loomis was a professional and thoughtful organization. I could not have asked for better service and fee prices. - They were helpful and explained their fee and costs for death certificates over the phone. When my husband later died in the middle of the night, they responded quickly - Cremation fees were much less than those quoted by others on the list furnished by hospice. - They did not try to up sell, they even suggested I might want to complete the request via the web and conveniently pay at the same time if I did not feel like driving over there. - I am having a funeral service in another state. They were so kind and respectful on the phone and in person. - They provided the paperwork and documents I will need to have my husband interred in another state. - They had a catalog of urns and the prices were very reasonable and I know this as I had shopped around. Their location in Apopka seems small but most of the staff I spoke to were young and caring. In a time when I was stressed this was the easiest decision.
