It is beautifully landscaped with flowers, plants, and trees, many of which have ID tags on them so you know their breeds! It's like a rustic outdoor museum, and easy to spend two or three hours walking around checking everything out. The main entrance has some free brochures outside that you can grab (donations are appreciated), one of which is a cemetery map and self-guided tour, showing where famous people are buried. That map sure kept us busy and was a lot of fun! By the way, the parking lot at the main entrance is free also but very small--only three or four spaces--but there seems to be lots of street parking if the spots are taken.

While doing some local family research, I learned that relatives of mine were buried here, and…read morevisiting Harmony Grove Cemetery was unexpectedly moving. It is a beautiful, historic little cemetery tucked away from noise and traffic. When I visited, it was foggy and quiet, the kind of stillness that feels comforting rather than lonely. The trees throughout the grounds are absolutely beautiful and add so much to the calm, timeless feeling of the place. It is a peaceful place to walk and reflect. You can tell this cemetery is cared for with real intention, especially the children's graves. Each one had a small trinket placed there, and it was clear that whoever tends to them truly cares. That detail alone stayed with me. Harmony Grove feels hidden in the best way, respectful, gentle, and full of history. I am grateful this place exists and that my family rests somewhere so serene.

This is a nice simple little church in a rural location. We stopped here to try and take a look but…read morethe building was closed, as were the restrooms, and we couldn't find any type of attendant. There is a small cemetery behind the church where we were also unable to locate anyone. I later read that there are no scheduled viewing hours established for the church at this time. The website says the interior has seating for 80 and at only $200 for a 4 hour rental it might be a decent location for a small wedding or event. However, there is virtually no parking (unless you count the paths in the cemetery or a small dirt area between the church and neighboring residence) and the yard area in the front that is well maintained is also quite small. Of the few interior photos I was able to view, it appears quite simple and dated and I have no idea what kind of restroom you will be submitting your guests too. Definitely call and schedule a thorough viewing.

I went here with friend on national cemetery day and we had a tea party at the picnic tables. It was lovely, and there were garbage cans by the picnic tables. I only have 2 complaints. One is that the porta potties are locked (at least they were the day I went which was a Sunday). The other is that there are only a couple parking spots. But there is a Target not too far away where you can park and use the bathroom and then walk over to the cemetery, so that's going to my solution from now on.

United Against Hate Week (September 21-27) is a call for local civic action to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a dangerous threat to the safety and civility of our neighborhoods, towns, and cities. I am passionate about violence prevention efforts, and it was truly inspiring to see so many community partners come together to table, network, and raise awareness about racial and gender-based violence in the Asian American community. The event featured a film screening followed by a panel discussion accompanied by light refreshments. I'm grateful that Sacramento is participating in national, United Against Hate Week and actively engaging in rapid response planning to mitigate the impacts of an emergency like the Atlanta 2021 shootings. I left feeling more equipped and empowered to navigate my resources, and most importantly, report hate crimes and incidents when they happen.

We see their genuine care reflected in everything they do for the children. The center provides fresh, nutritious meals prepared by staff, a well-structured daily routine with nap time, plenty of learning opportunities, and fun playtime. These routines help build the structure young children need as they prepare for kindergarten. Shiloh Arms goes above and beyond to meet every child's unique needs, giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in the best hands. Rowena, the school coordinator, is exceptional--always hands-on, assisting in classrooms, and engaging with the children daily. The teachers are communicative, kind, and truly amazing at what they do. The school also encourages parent involvement and keeps the year exciting with activities like summer water play, holiday festivities, birthday celebrations, and more. My daughter absolutely loves attending Shiloh Arms. She often talks about her teachers and friends with such joy. We couldn't ask for a better place for her to be while mom and dad are at work. I highly recommend Shiloh Arms Development Center for parents with children ages 2-5. If you're looking for a nurturing and enriching environment, go check them

I went. And it was a blast! The tickets are a smidge too expensive normally for me to consider returning next year ($80 advance, $110 otherwise), but I did have a nice time with my bestie, her hubs, and of course my companion DO. The endless drinkies (beer, wine, spirits, cocktails) are I think the best selling point Best of Sac Party has when you look at how much it costs to attend. Most booths will keep supplying you until you're either unconscious or they run out. Best of Sac also allows Sacramentans and various other visitors to hobnob with notable personalities, vendors, and business owners in what I felt was a laidback fashion. There were many folks in attendance that I'm used to seeing on the news channels. Scoring a handroll from Taro himself at the Mikuni booth was one for the memory books. I was able to meet the owner of a winery in Placerville that I've been wanting to visit because my favorite wine guy recently started working there. So why else would people attend this thing? There's the community aspect, the opportunities to donate to various local charities, the complimentary tastes of appetizers and desserts, the art displays, opportunities to shop for holiday gifts, the booze, and also I think it's a good event for people into event or wedding planning. A solid evening was had by all in my party, and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to go. Networking in Sacramento is the way to go! ;-)

This review is a little over do but I felt the need to share my experience here at this funeral…read morehome. My mom passed away Jan 3rd and this is where she had my grandpa's funeral and many years ago my grandmother's funeral was held here so me and my 3 brothers decided to have my mom's here. We had Jessicah Shoemaker as our funeral director. We read reviews after we had arranged to meet with her and decided we would have our own experience with this funeral home hoping all would turn out fine. After meeting her she seemed fine and trustworthy. We took care of picking everything we needed to for my mom's funeral. As time went by we would reach out to her a few times with no response so I did have to talk to someone higher than her by the name of Scott who got things rolling for me. Day of funeral 1st Wen me and my siblings got there we wanted to set up the decorations we had to make things look nice before anyone came in and have a moment together unfortunately a group of family got in while we were setting up. So I let the lady that was apart of st.marys know if we could lock the doors before anyone else got in. Then another person came in and the lady apologized for it and said shed lock the door. Eventually we had to unlock the door because people were trying to get in at the other end (This happened because we were unaware we could ask to have a moment alone with our mom before people arrived) this is a moment me and my siblings will never get back. 2nd Jessicah was no where to be found until 30min before the funeral started and that was Wen she let me know they been having issues with their microphone and that it wasn't working. (It would of been nice to be made aware of this in advance so I could bring my own speaking and microphone) she did offer their speaker and microphone which they rolled out and set up for us again during the viewing of the body minutes before the funeral started. Unfortunately the speaker wasnt loud enough. No one could hear in the back of the hall. Horrible 3rd. Wen it was time for the slide show we made it wasnt playing so I went to the back to see wat the malfunction was and it started to play but there was hardly any sound. I asked them to make it louder because we could barley hear it while sitting in the front row it literally was like someone was whispering because the sound wasn't working and Jessicah said thats all it could go. My niece had to use her phone to play the songs so we could hear the music that was attached to the slide show. I asked Jessicah who would I talk to regarding all this and she said all of wat? I had to explain all these mess ups and she said it would be Scott. Me and my older brother were stressed out at my mom's funeral unable to mourn and sit like we should have been able to. I was very dissatisfied with the way all this went down. I had a meeting with Scott who then basically told me he was sorry but sounds like there was an issue with the sound system that day and that we should of let Jessicah know we wanted a moment with our mom wen we were planning her funeral(Which we've never done this before so we wouldnt of known. I feel like the director should ask us if wed like a moment on that day before allowing everyone in) but thats pretty much it. He made excuses for Jessicah and her role and I felt he down played the way things went. He even told me that He'd probably be like me a perfectionist running around taking care of things instead of being like his sister and sitting and letting things just roll and not care if they weren't going right. We paid 10,000 to lay my mom to rest. This was a special day that we just wanted to go right. Its sad that there was nothing that could be done even after telling him all my concerns. I felt the fact that the sound system wasn't working was a good reason to deduct some of the cost because its apart of wat we paid for. Just wanted to share my experience with this place. If u decided to still use them just make sure u keep a close eye on everything and ask questions. Make sure their sound system is running correctly and let them know if u want an alone moment with ur loved one while planning the funeral.
