To be fair that may have

I would highly recommend Louisville Memorial Gardens. We have generations of family here. I've been coming out here since the 60's. It still looks as beautiful as ever and the staff is really nice. Lately we have been working with the manager Kevin for our bench. Look no further if you need a cemetery for your family.

Absolutely horrible. Didnt have any respect today when my boyfriends family put his grandma to rest. Started all the services without the whole family there. Even tho they was asked several time just to wait a couple minutes that everyone was almost there. Grandmas kids wasnt even there yet and they had done started WITHOUT her kids. She was laid to rest in the building in the back on the second floor. The funeral home lady was told multiple times that the elevator wasnt working because we didnt have a key she refused to walk down and put the key in Which caused grandmas handy capped

She asker where his flowers were and someone in the office (who knew about the flower incident) lied to her face and told her that another family probably stole them to put on another grave.

I gave a one star because that is the lowest offered. My sister prepaid for her arrangements. We buried her Saturday and it was the worst experience ever. We were told we would be shuttled to the chapel and we were told we could drive there or we could go out the back door and walk. It was pouring rain. When we arrived we were told it was not ready and we would have to wait. No problem. But when we were told we could go to the chapel, my sisters ashes were sitting on a small table with the label of who cremated her on top. I guess to advertise. The room was cold, no heat was on, the flowers that
