We walk there a lot I go bird watching frequently there I have a lot of Family there. So it has always been a place to visit since the 1960s for me and even earlier than that for my parents and grandparents It holds a lot of history and also memories for me No matter how horrible it has been treated by previous owners we always made several trips there every year. At least weekly I'm hoping it is getting better care by current owners It deserves it. This is a Historical Landmark and deserves the best as many still come here.

To some, it may be an odd mix of stone and grass in a growing suburbia, but it can also show the acceptance of the space. This cemetery is not large. It does not take long to explore. One can find weathered headstones from the early 1900s revealing the culture value of a woman as the "wife of" someone. One can find those who gave their lives to military service. While reading the graves or exploring history, here are some things to examine here and at other burial sites. Not every resting place has these feature. - The chronological placement of people - The use of dates (year vs exact day) - Language engraved into the stone - Broken or toppled headstones (don't vandalize) - Weathered headstones that are hard to read - Replaced headstones (stone type doesn't match lifespan) - Footstones (normally with initials) - Stone type and size - Section names - Potter's field (where nameless people are buried) - Maintenance of the grass and other plants - Presence of real or synthetic flowers - Offerings of pebbles or pennies - Trash (to please throw away)

The Shoal Creek Church once stood on this ground from those early years also. You can see a small corner of the original structure and they have erected benches and an entrance frame to show where the church once stood. The cemetery was neglected for decades, but now is fairly well maintained and has plenty of signs explaining the history of the grounds. A good place to explore for local history buffs. The city of Gladstone has done a wonderful job keeping this part of history for disappearing.

We opted to have a family only graveside service, it was cold and rainy. The funeral home thought of everything! Chair covers, blankets, and they were welcoming and very caring. One thing that I noticed: the attendants weren't overbearing. They were there, they greeted us, they made sure we signed the book, and each of us received a folder. The casket was treated with upmost respect, and care. Flowers were tenderly placed. We had our own officiant who lead the prayer and presided over the proceedings. The funeral home staff was there, but not overbearing. I can't thank you enough for your kindness! Further, some family members needed documentation for bereavement leave. Royer's was very responsive and provided exactly what we needed We were so impressed by their genuine approach to this hard time, my husband and I are going to pre-plan some of our arrangements and make sure that this funeral home is a big part if it!

Now I know giving a review on a funeral home is kind of morbid. I mean I really don't see too many…read morereviews on yelp regarding funeral homes because the only way that you can truly give a review is to have experienced a funeral there. Well I did experience a funeral there today. My pastor's wife who I have loved and served under the ministry for over the past 20 years passed away and her services were held at this funeral home today. So I'm going to base my review solely on what I saw today and the treatment that the grieving family received. The funeral home is on the corner of a busy street. It is a unusual looking building and it doesn't really have anything about it that's a wow factor, but for funeral homes I guess expecting a wow is not really needed. Because the funeral home is located on the corner of a busy street parking is the biggest issue. Now they have provided a parking lot directly across the street from the funeral home, however this can become a problem depending on how big the funeral service is and how many participants are attending. Luckily I got there early enough to where I was able to park in the parking lot across the street and it was never a problem leaving when the funeral was over however you can see potential for parking problems. The inside has a lot of historical pictures of the Davis family who began the funeral home many years ago and it does serve as sort of a historical site if you really think about it and I found it interesting because you don't see that and too many funeral homes. It is a little dark and dimly lit which if you were already grieving and sad unfortunately that can play into your feelings and make you just a little more sad. The staff were very friendly towards my pastor and his grieving family. Unfortunately the seating was probably the most disappointing thing. We had a large party of people but clearly not large enough as other funerals that I have attended and they barely could sit all of us, so I cringe to think how they would sit a bigger party of people. they have conjoining rooms that they had to send people to because the main room wasn't big enough and then one room had a TV where more people could sit and watch the services on a flat screen. One of the interesting things I saw in the hallway were a collection of British dolls. They had porcelain dolls of princess Diana, prince Charles, Prince William and Princess Kate and they even had a porcelain doll of princess Megan Markel... but what was really surprising was there was no porcelain doll of Prince Harry which I found kind of strange. They also had another porcelain doll of princess Diana with all of these collectible dresses that were to be a representative of her personal wardrobe. I've never seen anything like that in a funeral home but it was really interesting to see. I will probably never have funeral services provided there for my loved one, however I truly did enjoy the look and the feel of the place, the friendliness of the staff and The collection of dolls was the icing on the cake considering that I collect dolls myself.
