I happened to be called by Veronica who said she’d noticed I had family buried with Crown Hill. On the one hand, it was funny and on the other, the timing couldn’t have been better. Initially, I was looking for columbarium niche for my son and me but decided I also wanted to include my aunt and her husband. I wanted us all to be near my uncle, my aunt’s brother, in the original cemetery, but there was space for only one of us. Veronica and her supervisor came back with a brilliant solution: a bench with two vases that could accommodate all four of us and face my uncle’s niche. It meant opening a new section on the lawn across from my uncle. This solution also was half the price it would have been for the four of us individually. It’s also great that they have affordable payment plans.
Crown Hill helped me plan my cremation and burial. I appreciate the kindness and professionalism. I'm grateful for thorough explanation and preparedness of my funeral.
I have never been to this cemetery so when I volunteered to attend this Walking for Dreams event for Dayspring Homeless Shelter, I was perplexed. To our surprise there’s so much space for walking and entertainment. We enjoyed getting together for a great cause and learning about the crown hill area. We raised over $11k and got lots of steps in. Already looking forward to next year.
