My father has been very there for quite a while and my mother joined him last April and conditions are very bad and they have been I would like to thank all now I know it's just not me but it should be a place with a park-like setting will you can go relax for an hour and spend time talking do your loved ones at least I do and I should feel that they are at peace I do not feel that they are at peace right now

signing in for my mother who is in eternal rest at Resthaven, but also advocating for my father, a veteran (this is supposed to be for veterans) and for my sister who has a plot next to our parents. Resthaven has tried to get me to purchase plots, but I would not put my children thru this agony.

My dad died January 21, 2018. His headstone laid beside a barn for 3 months before we continually complained and it was finally installed!!!!

Very sad. The people buried there were lured by promises. While I believe their souls are long gone and they are not suffering, it is wrong to make promises, take money based on those promises, then break the honor of people who can't fight back.

My grandparents are buried here and the same thing is happening to theirs too. My aunt and uncle have tried contacting this cemetary and nothing has been done.

We have our plots hear and if we knew now what we didn't know then, we would have never purchased them. The cemetery has been going down hill for many years and it's sad to say, they are just interested in the money.

Resthaven forged my father's signature. They also would not put my mother in her grave which is what she requested. She had specific instructions. They left her in the chapel. When we asked them about it, they said that would have been extra money. We had no problem paying extra for my mother's last wishes. We found out the day of the funeral that this was the case. We also sent a letter to their corporate office and we never heard any response at all. Numerous times they have thrown away the items we leave at her grave. And not on normal scheduled dates. We sent a letter to corporate as well and we never heard anything back. They offered all of us children plots but why would we want to go there?

I have a son, grandson and brother-in-law buried at Resthaven and you have to wear rubber boots to get to the graves. My son's headstone was completely covered in leaves, on his birthday March 6th. Always so much mud and water. Disgusting

We buried our son in 2014 I am extremely upset with the conditions at the cemetery. There is so much standing water, his stone has sunk. We have put in numerous work orders for over a year to have his stone lifted properly, but they can never find the work order. The roads are nothing but potholes. The grass is not green, the branches, leaves are never maintained. Gravesites are never trimmed. We are disgusted and it makes me physically sick to visit Resthaven. My parents are in a crypt, but area is not kept clean, and there is a white pipe sticking out. My brother-in-law was layed to rest in Nov. 2018. My sister and I went to visit and it was like a swamp. We were terribly upset!! We are expecting these problems be address immediately. We are disgusted!!!

Buried my husband Nov. 30th of 2018. Sold me the plots knowing they had a problem with flooding! I have not approved his headstone, and will not until Rest Haven makes it rght! How I found out it was flooded was the day of his birthday Dec. 19th of 2018, it was like walking in swamp land, didn't know I needed boots to go visit my husband's cemetery, I was totally devastated, some resting place! Not gonna happen!!!! Just disgusted! Then to find out my nephews head stone is sinking and they have done nothing about this either since the middle of 2017. Disgusted from Sheffield Lake!

I have my husband buried there and can't visit the grave half of the year because of the flooding or mud. It is disgusting!
