My family and I attended the butterfly release event this past Sunday and it was one of most beautiful and memorable events we’ve been involved in since we laid our beloved family member to rest. We also attended the Mother’s Day event a year ago as well. I must say since this new team with Katie and all the others I’m sorry I don’t know their names have been there it’s been a great success keeping us families updated on all activities and business related things. Thank you from all of Michelle Archer family.

Reviews
This cemetery is beautiful and has so much history to it! My daughter and I came to the gorgeous butterfly release on Saturday.
Danielle, the photographer took the time to take really pretty and professional looking pictures of my daughter & I.
She comforted us though our experience and even walked us over to the therapy dog tent! She talked a bit about what Woodland had to offer and she was very kind spirited.
The butterflies and singers were very special too! We had a wonderful day honoring our loved ones at this beautiful event!

Simone,
During such a difficult and emotional time, Simone was incredibly helpful, patient, and understanding. She took the time to check on me, answer my questions, assist with the arrangements, and make sure everything was being handled properly. Her kindness and willingness to help meant more to me and my family than she may ever know.
It was comforting to have someone who genuinely cared and consistently made herself available throughout the process. Simone treated us with dignity, respect, and compassion from beginning to end.
Thank you, Simone, for everything you did for our family. Your kindness and thoughtfulness will always be remembered and appreciated.
