Tamara Morales Review of Laurel Land Memorial Park

My nephew Andre was laid to rest here November 2014. He was only 19. Taken before his time. Huge crowd showed to pay their respects. Thank you to all who did. But the staff was not sympathetic at all. Maybe because the crowd was large and it wasn't their loved one? They were rushing people as they stopped to hug my sister. Putting their hands against people's backs to usher them on . Gesturing with their hands to people..to urge them forward. I found it very uncalled for and rude. I spoke up and apologized to one of them. Told her I was sorry that my nephew was so loved and that my sister losing her beloved son was such an inconvenience. It just broke my heart.
We even had to carry my nephew by hand to his resting place in the cold,drizzling rain because they charged several hundred dollars(that she was unprepared for)to take him ON SITE to his resting place. Like funerals aren't expensive and stressful enough?! I mean, he was laid to rest IN laurel land..at the least.. it should of been a courtesy. But being carried by his closest family and friends..followed by his mother and 300 people who showed ...turned out to be a beautiful..sad moment.
