A lovely place of rest. Beware that they are continually expanding it and so sometimes roads may be closed or their might be detours. My mom's tree blew down and they replaced it. Everything is very well maintained.
Wonderful place to pay your respects to loved ones.
The final resting place of my uncle who served in world war 2
Pinelawn Memorial Park and Arboretum is an amazing facility. When my mother passed away in 2015, we didn't have plans for burial. We visited Pinelawn and were greeted by their professional, polite, and friendly staff. The Memorial Park and Arboretum are one-of-a-kind. There is no other place on Long Island that you will find such a well-kept, beautiful facility. Additionally, they offer free, educational, fun-filled family activities. Last year we went on the Fall Foliage Tour. This year we have attended the free morning Yoga sessions. My family and I are so happy that we chose this amazing facility to place our loved one.
I attended the Ladybug Release event and it was amazing! I learned so much about the benefits of having lady bug and the staff was so friendly. You can tell that they really care about the park seeing as how beautifully kept the area is. Can't wait till next year!
I m so happy my son is buried at this cemetery very nice and clean place and The prices for the plots is reasonable thanks so much may my son Rest In Peace always in our hearts and thanks to the owners of this place for keeping this place so clean and welcoming of family s to bury our little angels at your cemetery
10 years ago my family laid my 19 yr old little brother to rest here he is right next to my grandmother and grandfather pinelawn is peaceful and that's the feeling i get when going there now the pain will last forever but this place is beautiful and they treated my family like their own Shawn p Madigan
Just pay a visit here at the dead mans park. Very emotional experience...
Beautiful cementery BUT the office is not run well. When my Mother passed away my fully paid plot had an outstanding balance. The funeral director who was handling all the arrangements was told the plot was not paid. I had to look for paid receipts and prove the plot was paid, not something I wanted to do during such an emotionally taxing time. In addition, we needed the grave marker extended and paid $25. for the extension in January. My brother went to visit my Mother in March and there was no grave marker to be found. He paid an additoinal $25 for the extension and the grave still remains unmarked. They are looking for the original records of the amount paid in January which they can't find. It's a good thing that I kept receipts and records of everything.
I unfortunately have the pleasure of visiting this beautiful cemetery more often than I'd like.
But I do have to say the grounds are very well kept.
I have buried my baby girl and my lovely mother here as well, nearly 9 years ago.
I have notjing negative to say about pinelawn, any issues that have arose have been taken care of in a great manner.
Thank You Pinelawn for keeping my heart at piece, while assuring me that my loved ones are safe.
This place is lovely and very well maintained. All of the rules are crazy annoying but I suppose that's the price you have to pay for the service.
Execelent and I need to know if it s open tomorrow please
Serene, comforting and peaceful atmosphere. Staff members are helpful and cordial.
If you haven't bought anything here consider yourself lucky. They wouldn't bury my son until I gave them a certified check or cash and I had been paying the plot off for myself for the last 6 years. Then when I sent the check for the memorial bronze plaque / headstone, they lost the check and then blamed me and cost me $25 to have my bank cancel the check. They took 2 days to call me back although they assured me that they'd call me back on day 1 by the end of the day. Then they did an "investigation" internally to find the check they lost only to discover that they still couldn't find it because they still lost it but continue to blame everyone else, including me and the post office. Great business you are running, remind me never to waste money there again.
Very Good services specially during Corona Virus.
They open from 8 AM to 5 PM
And the office open till 9 PM to handle a lot of cases...
I hate you can't leave anything because it gets destroyed I had Little Rock that said brother and when I came back it was in pieces everything I leave for my brother So upsetting I'm upset I'm getting buried there wish I got us plots somewhere else smh
Unfortunately, I have had a unpleasant and very distressing experience with this cemetery and I would never recommend this place to anyone! If your a frequent visitor to a loved one this is not the place for you. I have voiced my concerns to several personnel and they abide by their strict rules which are absurd. Many visitors have also voiced their concerns to no avail. The fresh flower policy is ridiculous as it is not reasonable in the colder months.
I have been visiting Pinelawn for almost 20 years ( my mother died in December of 1999 ) , but am very , very dismayed ....really , disgusted ....by the total lack of consideration shown by the groundskeepers . Of course , you can't switch cemeteries like supermarkets or restaurants , so if a loved one is interred there , and you need a few minutes of quiet reflection at her gravesite , there are no options . While the office staff is very caring , considerate and professional , the regular use of gas powered leaf blowers by the grounds crew is shameful . The noise being bad enough , but the garbage thrown into the air ( which we have no choice but breathe ; there is MUCH research on the need to ban commercial use of leaf blowers ) is even more indicative of the total lack of consideration this place has for grieving family members . During the winter and spring , one is likely to see a huge tractor-mower scooping up the few leave on the ground , as if such things really bothered us while praying or in contemplation at a gravesite . Again , minimal use is made of rakes or brooms . The only time to visit here is on a weekend ; although I live only 5 miles away , and a close friend is buried 150 yards from my mother's grave , my visits are confined to once a year now , if that often . The contrast with Saint Charles and Beth Moses ( where another close friend is buried ) is striking .
Clean & quite atmosphere grave site where where my father rest. Front desk employee Brain was very helpful & heartwarming. We drove 3.5 hours to visit & I called before traveling, he was able to give me much needed detail over the phone. Thanks Brain.
Much nicer since they installed traffic lights. Very clean and well kept.
I did the foilage tour. The weather was raining and so we were unable to get out to take pictures or walk around. The tour itself was informative.
My dad been here since 2000 it's been so long but I'm going to make a trip soon... loving the pictures cause I know he is really at peace LOVE YOU DAD
PineLawn very nice place My grandma my grandfather my uncle and Aunt are thetr
I never thought that I would be writing a review for a cemetery, but I feel that Pinelawn is worthy of this criticism. Much of my family has been buried at this particular cemetery in Farmingdale. But it was only within the last year that both my parents were buried there and I felt compelled to visit their graves on Mother's Day and Father's Day. However, it is impossible to find their graves among the thousands (probably tens of thousands) that are there. We live in the digital age and the age of GPS. I am surprised how difficult it is to find my parent's grave site. I don't think it's unreasonable to have some sort of online access (perhaps via Google) to a record that could help pinpoint the exact location of where they're buried. Even if you didn't use GPS, there should be some sort of online location service that would lead me to them. It turns out that they (Pinelawn) don't make use of these ubiquitous tools. If I want to find my parent's grave sites, I would have to take a day of of work and go to the Pinelawn office just to get the location of where my parent's are buried. I think that's a bit much to ask for from all of the people who have trusted Pinelawn for the final resting place of their loved ones. I don't think it's outlandish to expect some sort of online grave location device. For that, they get no more than two stars.
On 12/22/16, My Sister & I went to pay respect to my parents, located in
Pinelawn Garden Mausoleum, we purchased a snowman decoration from Doreen's Flower Shop. we placed the piece at that grave site. The next day
My Brother in Law, went back & a caretaker, was taking all the decoration people had placed, he said per Pinelawn owners request. He had some nerve taking gifts given to the deceased. He claims new rules, but nothing had been posted when we were there.
Huge, with plenty of space, however finding a specific plot or location even with proper directions from staff. A very scenic, quiet place, although it's closely located to major higwaysand thoroughfares. I have been there twice and I've experienced the same level of confusion about where our procession was heading, and exactly where we actually ended up!
The arboretum tours are an absolutely wonderful way to tour the grounds and see the gorgeous landscape!!
A beautiful place to rest the ones you love when they ve moved on to be with their Creator !
It was a good memorial service for my great great aunt a great service and final resting place for her she is now with her five kids,husband,and the lord. I will see her soon bit not too soon cause I'm only 10 years old but I thank God for her being up to 100. Let God bless our souls Hallelujah. And AMEN. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE MAMA RUBY OTELIA HUDSON. I LOVE HER VERY MUCH!!!!!!
Very well maintained. Will be my final resting place.
Due to my health all I can do is look at your web-site and it is easy to see that Pinelawn Memorial Park and Garden where my Father was layed to rest 44 years ago has not changed one bit.
As a Teenage girl i remembered how Beauiful Pinelawn was then.
My Mother was also buried there as well. I was just seven years old when my Mother died. I was too Young to go to a funeral, She died Six years earlier then my Father.
I remember how the people were to me then. I look at the photographs of Pine
lawn memorial Park and it has not changed.
I came to visit my mom on what would have been her 79th birthday. When I found the door locked to the musleum so I called and Darren was wonderful. He had someone come open it so we could visit. Thank you so much for all you do to make our visits easier.
Some many of my family and friends are here. Peaceful for there souls. Nice place to have a talk with them. I see family's and soul mate sitting at the grave of there love one. Nice to see all the flowers people bring to the graves. One down side is at Christmas they should let you place what you wish and not from there list of rules. Had to take a star off for that. Your love one will be happy here.
It's a very quiet setting people do not come there often. It gives me some type of Strength to know that I am among the one who fought for our country.
How can you rate a cemetery? It's never pleasant to go to a cemetery or a funeral
My grandfather was buried here last year. I feel good that my grandfather is staying here, in this lovely park. Thank you for your work in keeping this park nice and clean.
My mom remains have been at Pinelawn since 2010 the grounds are well maintained and they have alot of services. I have since moved to another state but visit every birthday and mother's day and order the blanket weath for Christmas. I always find the grounds in great condition. Only once did I arrive and found a problem I went to the office and they were so Apologetic. They went back to my mom's site and explained why rhings were that way and called me and sent a letter when I got back home.
A cemetery s ability to accommodate a burial party during bad weather is something my family didn t think of when we purchased our plot.
This past March my family had to bury my father. Due to the lack of effort and planning on the part of Pinelawn cemetery, our burial party had to trudge through mud to get to the grave site and then stand in the rain for the service.
Several weeks afterwards, my mother and I eventually sat down with management to question why a roadside canopy was not provided. We received nothing but a cold and hollow apology, blaming it on the prior severe winter.
I find it inconceivable that in all the time this cemetery has been in operation they have not established a plan to suitably accommodate a burial party during bad weather and/or ground situations.
The only bright spot that day was the military send-off my father received; the honor guard conducted their ceremony flawlessly, the whole time in the rain, "God bless our military".
I can't believe I'm reviewing a cemetery, but Pinelawn is a gorgeous cemetery that I UNfortunately visit several times a year.
If you have a car, you're in luck, because it's super car-friendly, but if you are taking the train, leave time to walk to your loved one's final resting spot because it's quite a hike from the Huntington Station unless they are buried up front.
One thing I don't like is that you aren't supposed to put anything on the graves if they aren't flowers and they must be put in the bronze flower holders. But, that doesn't stop me. :)
Perfectly maintained grounds and friendly staff at the main building.
We had an appointment for 12 and they had our whole family standing around waiting until 1:15 to be escorted to the site. Their excuse was that they had a lot of funerals booked. Well don t book them all at the same time then. Extremely unprofessional. I would recommend using another place.
How they view and handle people there is a disgrace. The owner treats his workers like dogs without any care for there well being, or safety. He views families with love ones lost as money grabs. Avoid this place for your love ones. They are extremely rude, shallow, and show NO compassion. If families where to come to the workers for help, or to talk about a love one lost. You could get suspended for taking a couple minutes to show compassion. This place truly only cares for money. Pinelawn used to be a very nice place that cared for families and workers alike. Those days are long gone. Thanks to it's owner who goes out of his way to put all the money he can into his pocket.
I want to thank Pinelawn and Kristyn and Freddie for a GREAT year of extraordinary events. We have participated in Yoga, Lady Bug Release, Honey Harvesting with bees and recently a very beautiful Fall Foliage Tour of the Arboretum. I highly recommend you join their mailing list for all these free events. Thank you and we are looking forward to 2021. Thank you.
I am 22 years old and being targetted by this place through mail ads. I never looked this place up nor have I looked at anything remotely close to anything like it, so it's scary that they can just take your name and address and send you things.
Your basic non-sectarian cemetery, located near a Jewish cemetery, a Christian cemetery, and a US veterans cemetery.
Workers very nice,clean n it's a beautiful cemetery to lay down your loved one.
MY. MOTHER N. WIFE. IS. BURY. THERE. I. LOVE. THE. PLACE. WOULDNT WANT NO OTHER. PLACE. I THX. GOD. FOR. THIS. ITS. SERENITY. IS. UNCOMPARE. TO. MANY..GOD. BLESS PINELAWN . THX. FOR. PEACE. OF. MIND.
My mom & I attended the recent Ladybug event and had a great time. Not only were the grounds beautiful, like always, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience one to remember. We can t wait until the next event.
Shop around, this cemetery is outrageous on burial prices.
This cemetery sends out advertisements disguised to look like they're coming from the government. It's an envelope where you open it by tearing off the sides noting "Important Information About Your Social Security Benefits" with an anonymous PO box as the return address. If this is their marketing, I can only imagine what their contracts are like.
How do you not have an online process to find a grave site?
My sister and I attended the Pinelawn Memorial Park candlelight vigil that was held at the end of October. It was beautiful. The setting was serene and peaceful, and the ceremony was dignified and respectful. It was even more meaningful to us because our mom was not able to have a funeral and full burial, because of COVID. It meant so much that we could honor her life and celebrate her with others who have also lost loved ones this year.
A week later, we attended the Fall Foliage tour that they held. While it was drizzly all day, it was still a very lovely experience. The planning that goes into beautifying such a large park is absolutely amazing. Kristyn and Freddy were our guides and their knowledge about the park and the trees and plants is detailed and interesting. We ended the day with hot apple cider and snacks under a canopy of peacefully majestic trees. On that day, we were told about other events that are held in the arboretum, such as a bee day and a lady bug release. We will definitely be looking out for these events next year and we look forward to the spring foliage tour.
My sister and I often come to this arboretum to visit, and to just walk around the grounds. It helps to keep us connected to both of our parents, who are buried there. But in addition to this, it's a peaceful and beautiful place to spend quality time with nature.
They are very helpful they helped me locate my brothers and great grandparents grave
Nicest resting place around and they hire American union workers
This cemetery is huge, make sure you know where you're going you could get lost. The grounds were cut nice.
This is the cemetery that my Dad and Mom have been laid down together in their eternal resting spot. This cemetery has grown a lot and they have built new structures that has only added more charm to the area. This is a very well and maintained cemetery grounds. As long you can use a map, there is no problem finding the location you're looking for. I read some people reviews and they are complaining about not being able to find their loved one's. I get a map from the main office and just follow the directions and have never had a problem. This is a great cemetery to place your loved one's for their final resting. I do recommend them.
We attended the Ladybug Release. It was so wonderful. My boys had a fantastic time. They learned about the ladybugs and loved having the crawl all over. It was very organized, educational and fun!!
They buried a RAP GOD here in 2007. RIP $TACK BUNDLE$
My beloved Mother is buried over here. It's very peaceful and quiet. Spending time with the ones you love. R.I.P
Mom, dad and brother all at rest here. Beautiful grounds feels like a park
I give this place 2 stars solely because it is well maintained and always looks beautiful. Someone is doing their job right there.
But I went to visit my grandfathers grave, where I had not been since I was a child. I did not know where it was since it had been years. The people there were no help. He has a very common name and they were just not willing to go through the trouble of finding him in the system. I gave them his full name and year of death and nothing. So I asked for a map of the grounds and tried my luck, with a vague memory of location and appearance. It didn't go well, and instead of leaving content, having spent time at my loved ones grave I instead left angry, and that in and of itself tells you where this place puts its priorities. But at least it's pretty...
With much sadness my husband and I visited my brothers site. I was overwhelmed with size and beauty. he died sadly of Covid in March .the staff gave us a map and were able to follow it to His grave. The system of brass vases in the ground for the flowers were a test. I dropped the heavy vase back into the ground and couldn t get it back up with our flowers in it but they were still visible... very beautiful park and I am sure my brother is happy . RIP Nancy and Said
Incredible peaceful place. My uncle and cousin was laid to rest here and I'm continual impressed at ground keeping. This place is really special, I terms of care for the families time of loss.
Advertising and promoting there business. By sending a letter to my personal residence to get me to plan my death and return to them a postcard they attached if I'm interested are u kidding me!!!!! How disturbing!!!!! Move on find a caring end of life business. Not one that promotes death....... This place thinks nothing of us or our loved ones only to fill there pockets with money!!!!!!!!!! Sickening
Worst experience ever!!! The surroundings are beautiful and the sales agents are kind. However, once the contract is signed, good luck getting a live person to talk to you and help you. Everything goes to voice mail and response is slow. I was advised to list a second person on my contract, not knowing that this person had to sign and give wrriten consent before my parents could be interred. My co-signer lives in Puerto Rico. This resulted in a terrible inconvenience to me and my family in our time of grief. I am most upset at the lack of cooperation and helpfulness from Pinelawn Memorial Park and their staff.
The management of this place is horrible and the crew coordinating the burial are useless
The grounds & mausoleum sections are are beautifully kept. The staff are friendly & very helpful. They did a nice job handling both of my parents.
Peaceful has its own train station. Office 0845 to 445 Monday through Friday Saturday 0900 up to 5pm Sunday and Holiday 10 to 5pm. Grounds are open 365 days 0800 to 5pm. Indoor Chapels 10 to 4.
