Royal Oak Burial Park

The staff make sure the Burial Park is in pristine condition.clean and refreshing.
It is already sad to come here to pay respects to about a dozen people that we knew. It helps to see it so well taken care of.

It's been more than a year since our father passed away, but we still remember the courteous and helpful service here. I imagine the staff have seen thousands of families come through their doors, but they retain a cheerful and professional attitude, with matter-of-factness, even a slight sense of humour about their job, which was helpful for this disoriented death newcomer. We never felt pressured to buy or do more than we intended, which is more than can be said about other funeral homes in town. Believe me, you should check out more than one place, to find one you are comfortable with.

I come here to visit three of my grandparents who were laid to rest here and the paternal grandfather of a pair of my maternal cousins. Usually the staff does basic maintenance but when I go, I go there with garden tools, heavy duty picnic blanket, and a bucket with water and sponge to do extra maintenance and burn incense to pay respect.

The place is serene and usually staff going by would greet me with a simple nod. I don't get why this burial park would get some flack and lower the overall score. If you have issues with management with your personal experience, take it up with them directly with a good fight. Giving a 1 star rating to a burial park I would imagine is if the place is scarier than an abandoned mine shaft. There are other cemeteries in town that has much poorer maintenance than here.
