    The day we put Papa in and his casket spray.
    Madeline B.

    My grandfather is buried at Sparkman Hillcrest in the newer part of the mausoleum. He passed away 9/3/2013 without a burial plot. Fortunately, in our time of mourning, we found peace and comfort in this beautiful resting area. To escape the idea that his mortal body would lay with insects and such, we chose a ground level 4 person space to accommodate my grandfather and my mom and dad when they pass (hopefully many years from now). Joe Gonzales took care of everything we needed and to this day still checks up on our family and remembers us when he sees us visiting my grandpa. The grounds are kept up beautifully and the inside of the mausoleum is clean and has no distinct smell like others that I've visited. Although it is still hard each and every time I come in to visit my grandpa, Sparkman Hillcrest makes me feel at ease with everything they have done for us and how well they maintain the entire area.

    I have family members who are buried at Sparkman and I have been very happy with their services. Every time I go the cemetery is always mowed and clean. I have never seen trash or un-cut bushes here. It has always been a peaceful place to visit family members. It has been over 10 years since I have dealt with the funeral home part of the cemetery but from what I remember they were very professional, nice and helpful. I know this sounds grim but if anyone is looking for a final resting place this is the place to be. If you are one of those people who like to walk cemeteries then this is also the place to be. Much of the founders of Dallas is buried here along with the rich and famous of Dallas. This cemetery is also a walk into Dallas's past.

    Beautiful setting for cremation garden. Very well maintained. Peaceful setting to visit my mom and dad's cremation.

    Mom had arranged everything in advance, so we thought it would be easy. No. The meeting to make…read moreservice arrangements needed 2 men with different duties - it was like a "good cop - bad cop" interrogation with characters out of the Munsters. We were taken to an underground bunker, using an aged elevator - in which we were told "you don't want to know what this and the offices we are going to were previously used for." Ugh. That meeting included a requirement for $1,052 for a 6"x3" plaque on the existing grave marker, being shown how much money we had "saved" (line by line) compared to today's prices, upselling options, and suggestions to pay in advance for our own funerals asap - to save or families from the cost. We also were told about the importance of doing as instructed because graves were being claimed and bodies disposed of by criminals posing as relatives and reselling the sites. It couldn't have been more grim. The graveside site visit (to an unkempt mess, and area that is clearly not maintained in any way (with misaligned and damaged grave markers, broken walls, damaged signage and uncut grass) included being shown available plots in the even rougher areas in case we wanted to buy today, and having to listen to the escorting staff's personal tragedies... instead of being allowed to focus on our own loss. The second bunker meeting ended being asked to hand over the $1,050 because it takes 3 months to get the marker, being told that the flower people were too busy to speak with us, and a reminder that their jobs were in danger if we gave any bad feedback. When we said that we did not need some of the paid for items, the required reimbursement to the estate was promised and has been defaulted on for 2 months despite multiple calls and promises to resolve. Oh, and on the day, they forgot the pall bearer's boutonnières. It took 2 months to get the death certificate - and only then by calling multiple times when they told us thy had been lost in the mail... yes really. We went and got them ourselves in the end. We were left no choice but report this place to the Texas Funeral Service Commission (TFSC). Btw - the flowers ended up being x3 the price they are elsewhere - so we didn't use this place for those - neither should you. Bottom line - Steer clear, and if you're already committed, be ready to deal with a used car lot level customer service.

    My dad recently passed and we selected Sparkman to help us take care of everything. Up until this…read morepoint, I've never had to take care of, or plan for a deceased loved one so I wasn't sure what all needed to be done. Genna was our funeral director and walked us through every step and helped answer any questions we had. We met with her and she went over what services we would need and how the process would work from getting my dad ready, to getting him to the funeral home, to setting up the day of the funeral and cremation. We told her what we needed for the day of the funeral and also the types of services we needed and she only selected the things we talked about. Not once did she try to upcharge us or nickel and dime us for every little thing. They have a non-denominational chapel that was very nice, brightly lit, and accommodates a little over 100 people, so it's perfect for people of any religion. The funeral day went very smoothly and Genna was there to help in case we needed anything and to ensure things went accordingly. She was there for us from the morning all the way until the end of the cremation (which is done at their sister location ~15 minutes away). The viewing room at the crematorium was also much larger than I expected so that was a nice surprise too. Genna was very accommodating and respectful of people's feelings and religions. She also asked all the right questions to make sure our bases were covered and we had everything we needed taken care of. She's very professional and was very understanding. I would highly recommend Sparkman Funeral Home in the unfortunate event you need their services. I hope I won't need their services anytime soon again, but would gladly recommend them to friends and other family that may. Thank you for everything and for making this difficult time easier for me and my family.

    First off, I should have written this review 2 years ago. As I am coming up on the 2 year…read moredeathaversary of my fiancee, I am remembering how amazing both Genna and Jody were in helping plan the service. It was a very complicated situation, partly because he was murdered and partly bc his affairs were not in order. But they were so delicate and compassionate for my situation. I could not have asked for more thoughtful and caring people to handle his passing. In fact, I ended up referring them to my friend when her father passed away. So I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need.

The good news is I had met with Janice Demus the week before so was a step ahead! Mrs. Demus was GREAT! She went over all of the details thoroughly, so I was able to make a decision on the funeral arrangements fairly quickly. Miguel Bandy was PHENOMENAL! I often wondered did he ever sleep! He was very responsive and supportive. He made a very tough and sensitive situation very comforting and uncomplicated. I know there were other bereaved clients with families in need, but I never felt like there were - based on the GREAT customer service my family and I received from the moment my dad passed until he was laid to rest! Unfortunately, I was not able to give 5 stars. We paid for the livestream service option and are not pleased with the outcome. The recording is not great. There seems to be some technical disconnects that need to be addressed if they are going to continue to offer this service. Had we known, we would have secured an alternative. We are grateful that the service was recorded, but we would have liked a better product ultimately.

    Another missing review?…read more I've been stopping in here for 30 years and know I've reviewed it before. Oh well. If you like historical cemeteries.... Go! Many prominent Dallisites including,Mayors, 6, financiers, developers etc are interned here. It is a beautiful place. Not taken care of quite as well as in the past but not abandoned either. My favorite grave is of a man named Slaughter. Check out the Texas historical marker photo and picture of his granite tomb. There is a multi-generational family of grey foxes living here in the shadow of downtown that's a pleasant surprise every time I stop in.
