Southland Memorial Gardens

I dont know why i took so long to write this. Maybe hurt heartbroken. We buried my mom here. 10 years ago and what was a very hard time just got harder. Her and my dads plots got mixed up. Someone got buried in my dads by mistake and the one on my moms other side was sold and well my parents were not going to be buried together. A solution was to exhume my mom and move her they would let us pick the spot and they would upgrade the headstone. I live clear across the states so talking with dad and brothers we agreed. We picked a very nice spot and everything was great. Well considering moving mom. Then the day to exhume came. We were told its best not to be there because it hard to see a resting place being dug up. So we didnt go. Fast forward everything is done and we are happy considering. Then my dad gets a call from somebody he didn't know but was involved in digging my mom up. Her tomb or cement thing she was in some how was dropped he said.. yes she was was dropped and broken her casket unsealed. We were never were told. Until a couple years later. They had put back her in tomb cement thing in the ground but her casket was broken. Unsealed to the point items in the casket had fallen out. This man said they were told put everything in the tomb and just pretend it didnt happen. We cant prove it. The man didn't leave a name or number but we had to believe it because of things he describe from the casket.Dad distraught family a wreak managment changing and lost at what to do. No way mess with mom again. For sure she stays were she is. I guess i just want to say please before going here please look around. Look at the gravestones sinking in the ground or how crooked and unkempt they are that unkempt and not responsible for family to take care of. It took 2 years before they seeded my mom. My dad planted grass that they removed because it didnt match. Look were the babies are. All stacked so close to each other almost on top of one another. When I come home to visit and go to see my mom I leave hurt and angry and the horrible conditions of this place and wish someone would have warned us. UPDATE!!! I have now uploaded current pictures. Seriously how would you like to visit your loved ones with the ground under the headstone is gone big empty hole. Or the horrible conditions of the grounds. People that have lived ones here need to come together and say something. The more voices maybe something will get done. This place should be ashamed of itself. The loved ones left behind are already dealing with enough and should not have to deal with having their loved ones resting place look like trash or no one cares. ...Btw I contacted the person whom left a reply to my complaint. They left a message on my phone asking to talk when I called they were out and I never heard back..

Southland Memorial Gardens has been easy to deal with and thorough in their coordination of services. On a more particular note, it has been absolutely wonderful to work with Natasha. Even in an ongoing difficult situation with my mother who is still a grieving widow, she calmly worked with her and showed amazing interpersonal skills. I have had the opportunity to work with her twice now, with my fathers burial, and now in the future planning of my mother’s. She is an outstanding asset to Southland Memorial Gardens.

Natasha Williams assisted me with all of my arrangements for many family members. She is wonderful and goes above and beyond to take care of everything I needed. Natasha treats me like her own family. I will always contact her for any of my future needs and will recommend Southland Memorial Gardens to others. It is very comforting to know that Natasha is only a phone call away. Thank you!

My greatgrands and my Dad are buried here along with a few other family members. I've only had two bad experiences here both of which were fixed by myself flower and grave disturbance. Overall I think this is an awesome place for your loved ones.

Gravesites and areas surrounding are terrible to look at. The place looks run down. Need grass planting and maintenance. Use to be so nice.

Just recently buried mom Sheila Corley next to her parents and brother. Beautiful place for final resting place

They did an amazing job on my families memorial
