I had such a negative experience at Pfeffer funeral home, I ended up having my dad removed and brought to Harrigan. They were sensitive, genially cared, and went above and beyond during this time. They even typed up a letter to me after I returned home. Thank you Harrigan for being so compassionate and wonderful!

Just wanted to update this review - after numerous phone calls - my Mother's gravesite was cleaned…read moreup yesterday. I spoke with both Peter and Michelle but neither one did what they had told me they would and that was to reach out to me when everything was done. I took a ride out to the cemetery to check on it myself last evening. I reached out to Peter today. I am grateful that after 10 months it is finally taken care of, but I'm very sad that it took that long and that other people are going through the same thing. I'm hoping that things get rectified. (I was told that this normally should not have taken longer than two weeks at the time of year she was buried.). Thank you.

Felicia always says she will call back, but I can't confirm that she really works there. I called corporate, and they had the same experience. No answer. Unfortunately I live 2,000 miles from there so I can't easily go talk to them. Question to the public: What do you do with a dead body when the cemetery refuses to do their job??? At wits end!!

This is a nice place with thousands of tombstones in a pretty place with lots of mature trees. It is particularly beautiful when all the buckeye chestnut trees are in bloom. The chapel and main building are attractive. I found out my great great grandmother was buried here in 1921, but I had no idea where her stone is. This lead me to the office. The fellow I met was very nice. I could say jovial. He consulted reconds and found the location. He didn't stop there, he hopped in his car and had me follow him to the site. There was Josephine. This is a Catholic cemetery. The parish has three places to worship and two other small cemeteries. I come here monthly to visit a grandmother who died 26 years before I was born. Family ties run deep in our Bohemian clan. This is a pleasant, peaceful place. It's a pleasure to come here.

We requested military rites for my father's funeral. Funeral Director, Jon, submitted a form…read morerequest to Veterans Affairs, received a confirmation email the form was submitted but didn't hear anything else. He did not follow up to confirm they were coming, and was simply hoping they would show up. They did not. A friend of my father that is a veteran and very active with veteran affairs attended the funeral personally. I talked to him before the service - he knew nothing about military rites being done that day. I was praying all through mass that they would be outside of church - they were not. Our veteran family friend came up to me after mass also feeling terrible that nobody was there and wondering what happened. He took it upon himself to at least present the flag to my mom at the mausoleum. Had he not been there personally, that wouldn't have even happened. I am kicking myself that I didn't just contact the Veteran's group myself and made sure they were set up BUT I also thought the funeral director handled it. Jon came up to me at the luncheon telling me a made-up story that the group was too busy and the personal friend Vet said he would come and do the flag. That is a lie - the only reason that happened is because I talked to the Veteran myself!! Five years ago they screwed up my Mother-in-Law's burial date. It was supposed to be for immediate family the day after the service, but they never set it up. We found out the morning of we weren't going to be burying her that day, when family was still in town. If you are forced to use this company due to pre-paid funerals be sure you CONFIRM EVERYTHING with them and babysit them that they are doing what you ask!! Our family was so sad my father did not receive the military rites ceremony he deserved.

More than 29,000 people have been buried at the cemetery since 1852." This is a beautiful cemetery with a park like feel to it. My favorite spot is the veterans' area around the Grand Army of the Republic monument. I have given several grave site talks about Civil War veterans throughout the years. I was honored to help install a flag pole at the GAR memorial. This is the city's largest cemetery. It is crisscrossed by gentle one lane roads. Some of the tomb stones are very impressive. Others are very modest, with everything in between. This place is a home to many stately trees. A great place to collect acorns in the fall. Captain George Waldo is buried here, although his exact resting place has been lost to time. As you all know Waldo was killed in action at the Battle of Shiloh. I go here when I want to spend time in a quiet, cool and solemn place to relax my soul and body. Take the time to visit this holy place. Be respectful and enjoy the solitude.
