Feedback From Our Families

Dennis Drennan

We recently interred my mother-in-law who passed away recently, as well as the ashes of my late brother-in-law who passed away 7 years ago. Steve and the entire staff at the Italian Cemetary were all very helpful, responsive and compassionate.

Liana Petrosyan

The Italian Cemetery provided exceptional services during the difficult time of my husband's passing. From the moment we approached the cemetery, staff demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and sensitivity. The seamless coordination of every detail, from the initial arrangements to the actual burial, made a challenging experience more bearable for me and my family.

Deanne Pitts

My Grandfather has been buried at the Italian Cemetery for almost 80 years. After years of searching and rediscovering his amazing life (he had changed his name to his stage name,) my Father and I were able to finally honor him and place a headstone on his grave. We had a challenging request, he was a Trapeze performer and a daredevil that performed stunts all over the Country and we asked if they could help us with an image of sorts on his headstone. Boy did they provide! Thank you for closing a chapter for myself, my Dad, siblings, and all my extended Italian Family that always wondered what happened to their never forgotten son who came out West to be a star!
