I have finally got up enough strength to write a post about Hertford County Undertakers in Winton,…read moreNC. Our son Benjamin Weiss was so sick with unknown Mental Health issues he took his own life on 1/14/2022 while home 1 Friday from school. Heart broken we chose a local funeral home in Suffolk, VA. Due to bad customer service, and an outrageous price of $12k we decided to move him to Hertford County Undertakers from the suggestion of our Pastor. When we met with Mrs. Cooper we were angry, and confused. Immediately our nerves were calmed, and were relieved with the price she quoted us. The final price was very reasonable. She never tried taking advantage of us like the other home. The staff was amazing to the receptionist, the driver, Mrs. Taylor and that perfect slideshow of my baby, the guys that dug his whole, the guy that made my baby look like himself, and Mrs. Mildred. After the service she's called to check on us which really made us happy. Last week we were shocked by this beautiful name plate that was on his grave. We are so thankful to Hertford County Undertakers for their perfect professional services. The Weiss Family thank you for your help.

My mother, Pastor Ann Johnson, had already done a pre-burial arrangement with this cemetery. I wish…read moreI had known more about this cemetery and also MORE about Pope's Funeral Home in Ry Mt. It is so unfortunate that when you are grieving and find out that things were not done according to what your loved ones have expected. A day or two before my ,mother was to be buried, I found out that the plot she had chosen was not going to be honored because my stepfather who was in the military was not buried there; therefore, they found another spot close by. This spot where she is now is very wet and moist and I do wish that the cemetery had asked me about another plot I could have chosen for her, but they did not. As far as POPE was concerned, my mother's funeral was "RUSHED" because POPE had too many bodies on that day to take care of. Therefore, misinformation from the wording of her services were also missed by some people who wanted to attend and they ended up at the gravesite for what they thought would be services! It seems as though the Pastor/his assistant also were too "BUSY" to accompany my mother's body to the cemetery; therefore, the closing ceremony to commit her body was done by the Funeral Home instead of by the Pastor or His Assistant. Committal was done inappropriately and the Closing Prayer was done by her daughter, ME. My mother was indeed a Servant of the Most High God and deserved a better burial than this. I pray that this Cemetery will also make sure that they consult with the families more and drain out the excess water that migrates in various places where loved ones come to place showers and memorabilia at their place of rest.

We buried my grandmother this past weekend at Gardens of Gethsemane, where she purchased 2 burial…read moreplots many decades ago. We found after arriving that they'd moved her plot (troublesome because she'd given the other plot to her brother for his funeral 10+ years ago!), AND we were being directed to park quite some distance away. Being that we'd just come from the funeral, we were all wearing dress shoes, and the majority of our party was older (canes, walkers, trouble in their feet, and knees) so this presented a problem as we were being told to maneuver either over rocky gravel or through the grass over others' graves. Since this wasn't at ALL what we expected from the last burial we'd had there, my cousin asked the woman directing the cars (rather short, with a very close hair cut) why we were being directed to park so far away. This turned into a heated conversation, with her attempting to cut him off while he was expressing his concerns, her beginning to gesture (which caused another cousin to have to step in to attempt to mediate), and resulting in her threatening to call the police on him to have him removed. After my cousins began walking away from her, she attempted to follow. Still raising her voice. Still gesturing. Still making threats. Soooo.... Yeah. Not a great experience from a family who has buried numerous relatives here, and definitely something that we won't forget since we were... you know... just coming from a funeral and saying our final goodbyes. Not sure what's going on with management, but this place has gone downhill. Wouldn't recommend

The Albert G. Horton Memorial Cemetery is a State Veterans Cemetery on Milners Road in a rural area…read moreof Suffolk. Its 2004 opening provided a military cemetery for the huge military community that chose to retire in Coastal Virginia. The cemetery is one of a number of regional cemeteries run by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, Eligible Veterans receive one free burial site & USDVA provided outer burial receptions/crypts & headstones. Should a veterans's wife predecease him, the headstone is inscribed with her information facing forward. When the veteran dies his information is inserted on the opposite side and the headstone rotated so his information faces the front, My Uncle had originally planned to be buried at Arlington. After his wife died, the funeral director mentioned Albert Horton. When we left my Uncle asked what I thought. We both had individually felt that it would be a place where we could more easily visit her. We toured the next day. Even the drive down Milners Road is picturesque. The cemetery itself was clean, new and beautifully laid out. The staff was friendly. The decision was made. At that time word of the beautiful Veterans Cemetery had not yet widely spread. She received a convenient plot near the drive through and near a bench. There appeared to be space for burials for many years. That hasn't been the case. The Cemetery filled over the years and has been expanded. When my Uncle died I had my first experience with the Pavilion, which is used to provide a military graveyard service with Honor Guard. It was a moving experience for the man I considered my second father. The Honor Guard was a special final recognition for the retired Naval Commander, buried in his uniform, who had served in WWII, Korean & Vietnam. Albert Horton Veterans Cemetery continues to serve as a valued source for a final resting place for those who have served our country. Wreaths across America places gorgeous holiday wreaths on each grave. The Horton Wreath Society places wreaths on military holidays. Contributions can be made and are encouraged. Whether the burial be a traditional plot with stone, a columbarium or in ground urn, there is no cost for those Veterans who qualify. Thank you to the Virginia Department of Veterans Services. Virginia Veterans Cemeteries are such a valued contribution provided to our Veterans.
