Spring has come to Forest Park West Cemetery and it is so beautiful. The grounds crew has done a great job!
I'm currently going thru the same thing as Donna Gaspard'so family with Forest Park West. We buried my mother there 9/11/15 and even had the proof of moms headstone approved by their employee Larry Hawkins, who told us to cut 6 inches off the base of mom's headstone, so we went back to Central Monument, and made the change. Then I was told we had to pay Perpetual Care for the monument to FPW, after already paying them Perpetual Care fees for the plot. I have 6 other family members buried there since 1999 and their sites look like hell. I go out when I can and clean the Monuments with water and pull weeds. By knowing what kind of "care" they gave the monuments, I refused to pay the Perpetual Care fee. I also called around and other cemeteries only charge flagging fees, so that's what I agreed to pay, which is also higher than the other cemeteries. I've been dealing with their Regional Mgr about this issue and after expressing all my grievances with FPW since burying mom, and evidence to support my statement. After going back and forth for two months, he agrees to our paying the flagging fees and us be done. I did just that. And schedule Central Monument for delivery, for the manager to come back and say we can't place that Monument (that's paid for and made) bc mom's plot doesn't have upright Memorial-Pines privilege, bc she's a single plot in a section where it's mostly double plots. Really? NOBODY HAS SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UP UNTIL A WEEK AGO, IT WAS ACTUALLY APPROVED BY ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES AND I'M TRYING TO GET IT PLACED BY HER FIRST ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY, 9/6/16. THIS IS DISGUSTING AND VILE AND SOMETHING I'D NEVER IMAGINE HAVING TO DEAL WITH, INSTEAD OF GRIEVING MY MOTHER!!
The staff was so helpful! The new Cremation area is beautiful!
Not Pleased .... Mr. Hawkins was told of fire ants taking over my parents marker. he said they would take care of it, a month later still haven't treated the ant .. and there are more things that I am not pleased with.
I laid my sister to rest on April 11th, 2016. We had discussed the just in case what we wanted. She wanted to be laid to rest at my feet. I already had plots out there and my husband and daughter is already laid to rest there. It cost $3,009. For opening and closing and a plastic vault. At that time we were approaches to buy a monument from Forest Park, we priced founder very quickly they were the most expensive. Since we didn't buy from them they haven't given us a momen peace to mourn my baby sister death. Now they have told me they don't like the headstone and are going to remove it. I ask them how much money they wanted and LeAnn the Manger said can you not understand "we are taking the stone up, the owner doesn't like it". We)l the owner has not seen it becausehe lives in Pennsylvania. This is a complete shame. All the cost were paid for by me , there was no life insurance, the policy needed a day to mature. Please no one buy or pla c e your family out there unless you have a lot of money and buy everything from them because they pretty well have a mone poly in Shreveport.
