South Lawn Cemetery

“I just want to say that my experience with South Lawn was awful. My daughter who was baby passed away last year in August. The day of the burial they were rushing our service. Some family members showed up last minute because they came in from out of state. The lady that worked for South Lawn yelled at my family and kicked them out of the room and did not let them say goodbye. She yelled at my dad too because he asked her not to seal the casket yet. My sister went off on the lady and yelled at her for sealing the casket anyway and how disrespectful she was to us in our mourning. There was another funeral happening down the hall which was affected by the incident. We spoke to other employees and they did not care at all. They did not remove the lady from the situation. She later came up to me and said she was not sorry. That it was my family's fault for showing up late and for me to make them understand. Well, they closed the casket before our time was up. She insisted that they have other funerals to attend. She is the old lady with the blue shirt and short hair. This picture was taken after the incident and the lady was still lingering around us. Had I known they were going to be so unprofessional, I would have buried my daughter at Holly Hope. I think about that day every time I visit my daughters grave. It left a bitterness in me that will be with me forever. There were only 15 people who attended the funeral all together, they should have given my family at least 5 minutes to see my daughter but I guess that was too much to ask for. Update 8/16/25 They are not respectful with decorations either. You leave flowers today, they are thrown away tomorrow. They told me only real natural flowers are allowed but those were thrown away too the very next day! I wish I would have laid my daughter somewhere else!”

“When a loved one passes there are so many things that need to get done. Choosing a funeral home is not something you really think about until you have to. Once you go into the appointment you don’t know what to expect. You think it’s just gonna be the worst thing because you’re grieving and making these big and hard decisions for your loved one and it is true, it’s very hard. But we had the most beautiful experience here. We were able to paint a perfect picture of our mom through laughing and obviously having our moments of crying but Reyna was seriously a godsend. She laughed with us, cried with us and just let us talk about our mom. She made this whole process a whole lot easier than expected and we are so thankful for her. No offense Reyna, but we hope to not see you again. At least not while you’re at work. But truly. We really appreciate you. All of the other staff we encountered were very kind and sympathetic as well. Our overall experience here was very positive. Thank you for taking care of our mom. 🖤”

“I cannot say enough about the care and consideration that Funeraria Angel provided for us when we buried our Aunt in September. They met with us, spent a lot of time discussing various options and were always sensitive and caring. They allowed us time to discuss our aunt, looked at pictures with us, and were immensely kind as well as efficient. didn't hurry us off to make another appointment. The arrangements went smoothly and they were present for the service and the burial. In my estimation, they went above and beyond.”
