My mother passed away Aug 2009. She was buried in one of the new back buildings. There are bronze vases facing the crypts for sale to the families, they are not very tasteful and take away from the appearance of the site. Instead we posted a few personal remembrances where we honored her there until 2011, & kept up the site. On Thanksgiving Day 2011, when her grands visited from PA we visited and found our personal property missing. FMG removed our personal property without notice causing much grief to family. Their response was dismissive & trivialized our loss. Surrounding this site were remembrances of other families that were not removed. This destroyed the beautiful place to honor her memory. Our belongings were never returned. No credible explanation was given for the removal of our property vs the property of all the other surrounding family crypts that remained. I am sure there are other burial sites in the area that will respect the deceased and family well past the date of internment. If I could remove my mother's remains I would. I would not recommend that anyone use Florida Memorial Garden's LACK OF DIGNITY TO GRIEVING FAMILIES.
