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.

- C. S.

Our Family Services Advisor was knowledgeable and professional, but most of all compassionate. I felt like I did not have to worry about anything. It was a very nice service in the chapel. The remembrance mass, the Month’s Mind Mass was very emotional, but very needed. Thank you Gate of Heaven for everything that you assisted our family with.

I purchased my husband’s burial plot and one for myself and was provided with great assistance to design the headstones for both of us. The Family Services Advisor was very kind, knowledgeable, informative and helpful. My husband’s family is buried at Gate of Heaven. That is why we chose to be there.

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