Additionally, Miss Donna provided excellent service by guiding visitors to graves, showing the bathroom facilities, and offering water.

Stephanie Jackson-Mayes and Carey Stokes were very helpful and gracious helping me to locate my parents graves. Thank you.
Many members of my newly found birth family are buried here. Every time I needed help with something concerning their graves, it was addressed quickly and they have went out of their way to help. One recent example is when I wanted to place a vase on my mother’s grave. I never met my birth mom but I wanted to make sure I could bring her flowers whenever I wanted. I found out that the previous owners of the cemetery had marked down that a vase was supposed to be placed, but it was not clear if my siblings had paid for it or not. Norma said she would have one placed. She called me when it was done, sent me pictures, and placed a lovely bouquet of flowers in the vase. Thank you, Norma and Oakland Memory Lanes.
