  TRUST ALL THE BAD REVIEWS AND DON'T THINK YOU WILL BE THE EXCEPTION, LIKE I DID. First they push & push for you to give them the form that releases "the body" to them. They do this because once they have that, you're forced to work with them. After reading all the bad reviews, I decided I absolutely did not want to risk having to deal with bad customer service and extra stress on one of the hardest days of my life, that was the LAST thing I needed. I decided I would hire another chapel for the services and would only bury my father here, thinking they couldn't POSSIBLY mess up the day doing it that way, I WAS WRONG!! They told me I would be booked for the last appointment of the day to bury my dad, we had to be done with services by a certain time so that they could "close" the cemetery, otherwise they would charge us an additional fee as they have to pay their staff overtime, understandable. On the day of, my father's services went a little longer than expected, the chapel we were working with informed me that the cemetery was calling them, LIVID and telling them we need to get there ASAP, that they were charging us a fee AND THEY DIDN'T WANT THE PASTOR TO SPEAK AT THE BURIAL, meaning just throw my dad in the dirt, no service and call it a day. WHO DOES THAT?!! This caused SO much stress, I had to rush out of the building, telling everyone to hurry to the cemetery, moments that were supposed to be special (closing the casket, ushering to the Hurse) were overshadowed. We ended up getting to the cemetery about 15 minutes late. The burial service still ended on time. I would be fine paying whatever fee they said as I can understand, if you're late, you're late BUT what I will NEVER understand is ruining such an important day that I will never be able to do over again. I was not in the right headspace at all once that situation happened. I didn't feel present at the burial because I was so stressed with the pressure they put on us. Money is nothing, it comes and goes, I would have paid any fee they asked but DEMANDING that the pastor doesn't speak at the burial is so far beyond UNMORAL. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS PLACE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, take your money elsewhere.

  I'm writing my review 2 stars only.for the cleanliness and how my mother n laws funeral was very well done by the parkview Staff how they were very acomadating .HOWEVER...we bring Flowers vases. And they QUICKLY disappear family members come 2 day's later and there gone .We ask and we ask the grounds keeper and he says they do a cleaning of flowers .HOWEVER I turn to my left and plastic flowers and vases are there on the other stone heads for months!WE try and coordinate with the cemetery grounds keeping staff and our flowers and vases keep getting stolen. This has happen FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS VERY FRUSTRATING! !They ALLOW people to come in and STEAL!Things flowers and vases from our dear loved ones that have past away .I Can't believe the owners allow this. If you plan to bury a loved one at Parkview Cemetery please consider that your flowers will be thrown out or stolen. IT'S.very Sad. Please if anyone of the Staff wants to contact me on the matter please do so .I would like nothing else than resolve this matter. The cemetery should consider security or cameras .25 Vases and flowers and counting last 3 years....
