- JBJ BerkowitzNov 14, 20255.0Resthaven did a wonderful job for the recent loss of my family member. They filled every request and were able to answer many questions related to things that needed to be handled (above and beyond funeral and burial plans). Hillary H was especially helpful to us. In such a difficult time, it was a relief to know my loved one was in good, caring hands. They put so much thoughtfulness and effort into preparing her for viewing, she looked like herself. So beautiful and restful. Before their passing, my grandparents appreciated Resthaven's staff and ability to make arrangements for their eventual departure. If they were to write this review, they would recommend that everyone make pre-arrangements for their passing if possible. There's much more to it than merely cremation or burial. Ensure your final wishes are fulfilled and help your loved ones proactively. Do it at Resthaven and be comforted by the knowledge that all will be well and you/your loved ones will be treated with great care and dignity.
- DMDaniela Gamez MorenoNov 11, 20255.0One of the most beautiful cemeteries in town and it feels more like a peaceful park than a cemetery. During the summer, you’ll often see people biking, walking, and running here. The lake view is absolutely stunning. I purchased spaces at the Garden of Asian Dynasty from Mrs. Lynn, who is so kind and professional. I can’t wait to see the amazing new addition that will become an Oklahoma legend and continue supporting our communities.
- KDKhoa DangNov 11, 20255.0From the moment we arrived at Resthaven, we were treated with respect, care, and kindness. Mrs. Lynn, who previously worked at Dignity, guided us every step of the way during our aunt’s funeral, patiently explaining and translating Vietnamese customs for us. She stayed through the entire service, making us feel comfortable and confident during a very difficult time. Hilarity, the director, was also amazing. We are truly grateful for their support.
- LNLac NguyenNov 11, 20255.0Thank you for supporting the Asian community and helping to create the beautiful Asian Garden of Dynasty. This will surely become an Oklahoma legend — one of the largest and most stunning Asian gardens in town. We’re truly excited about the new addition to Resthaven. Mrs. Lynn and Nick are professional, kind, and caring. Resthaven is a truly beautiful cemetery and funeral home that serves families with heart and respect
- PMPikawoohoo “Milk”Nov 11, 20255.0Our family purchased spaces for our grandparents at the Garden of Peace, and everything was perfect. The staff’s professionalism and attention to detail provided a comforting foundation during a difficult time. Our family recently returned and purchased additional properties in the Garden of Asian Dynasty from Ms. Lynn. She is professional, nice and caring. We are truly impressed with her service and would highly recommend her and the team to others.

When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
Does a dead body have to be embalmed, according to law?
The Federal Trade Commission says, "Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial."
