We really appreciated the time taken to review our burial options, and the thoughtful conversations about the overall process from funeral service to burial and headstone selection. The Family Services Advisor was very pleasant and comfortable to interact with.

Amazing cemetery. It is the nicest I’ve been to yet.

In 2017 we visited Gate of Heaven, just to get information. The Family Services Advisor was very informative and helpful about services, options and future planning. So, we ended up pre-planning and purchasing a niche. Everyone at Gate of Heaven was very friendly, accommodating, thoughtful, caring and efficient after my loved one died this 2024. The services for my husband went smoothly, even when the rain was pouring. We were pleased with the services provided, including the after the burial follow up.

The Month’s Mind Mass was wonderful and very comforting.
