Riverside Cemetery

We were communicated with in a sensitive, respectful, and helpful manner.

I want to express my displeasure about the lack of care, sensitivity and just common sense that we experienced at the Riverside Cemetery this past Sunday at my mothers funeral.
#1 we were rushed to move along because another «group» was coming thru soon. I found this totally insensitive to the needs of a grieving family.
#2 it was extremely hot (over 100 degrees) we had to ask for a few chairs for the immediate family (my dad is 95 years old and not in the greatest health).This should have been a no-​brainer.
#3 a canopy should have been offered and set up to provide some shade for our mourning family.
#4 water, water, water… would it have been so difficult to provide a large jug of cold water and some cups for our family? One of my elder family members suffered a mild heat stroke as a result of the heat and direct sun exposure during the service. After all even Little League teams provide cold water for participants.
#5 I was told that a few people were locked out to the only air conditioned area in the main office.
There were a number of other minor issues which I do not care to discuss at this moment. I am generally not a complainer, but I really need to let other prospective clients of this cemetery know that they may want to discuss some of these «details» in advance or find some other place to have your loved one rest in peace.

A beautiful cemetery and I love coming here unfortunately. Every time I come here I see a family of deer walking through the plots and it makes me smile. thank you for keeping the ground so neat. We miss you Micah
