Our Pre-Planning Services make it easy for you to get your express wishes down in writing, ensuring that you have the kind of memorial service you truly desire and that your friends and loved ones can have total peace of mind that they are adhering to your wishes. We host Burial Services that convey both the solemnity of the occasion, but also the joy that comes from celebrating the life of a dear loved one. We are happy to attend to all aspects of the service, and we invite our guests to linger as long as they wish, fully enjoying a special and intimate time with friends and family. For those who choose it, we also offer Cremation Services; cremation can be a meaningful way in which many families mark the death of a loved one. We offer services tailored to honor those who are military service members and veterans, as well.
Palms cemetery in Dayton is a lovely, serene place, with majestic views of nature.

Grandmother a long time ago was misled into believing she had paid for her cremation and services (totaling $800ish). Upon her passing it was relayed to me that she had paid for the "right to be buried" in the cemetery. She had requested her ashes be buried between her two deceased children, which was written in all 27 of her wills (lol) and also acknowledged by the funeral home (Sterling was wonderful). We had an appointment to sign paperwork and the cemetery rep didn't call nor show up. When arranging the burial times, I was given a sales pitch, which I declined politely. During the burial itself, we found out that they were not burying her where we thought, and it was a spot 2 plots over. We tried to address this and the lady pulled out her phone to pull up the contract showing my dead grandmothers signature to show us all "no this is what she wanted, she signed right here." After the family spoke about memories, we were asked to stand back so that a young boy could take the tent down and we had to watch him dig a hole for 15 minutes. I would have presumed this would be done already. During this time that the boy was digging, the cemetery representative decided this is a good time to try and sell the family plots. Now a week has gone by and she has reached out to me and my sister to see if anyone is interested in pricing for what she had offered at the service. This is the most disgusted I have ever been at the way a business is handled. I do not recommend anyone bring their loved one to rest here, as you are just a business negotiation and once paperwork is signed and money is paid, you nor the death in your family no longer matter.

It is the perfect peaceful, uncluttered final resting place. I have never had to pick up trash or walk in water to visit my parents.

Arrange for members of family or close friends to take turns answering door or phone, keeping careful record of calls. If Social Security checks are automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
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.
What steps should I take when a death occurs involving your services?
The funeral home will help coordinate arrangements with the cemetery. You'll need to provide birth details, social security number, veterans info if applicable, education, and marital status. Contact clergy and decide on funeral arrangements with assistance from the funeral home, who will also help with death certificates and obituary info.
Will a funeral director come immediately when I call?
Yes, if you request immediate assistance. However, if you wish to spend some time saying good-bye to your loved one, the funeral director will come when you feel ready.
Should I choose burial or cremation for a loved one?
Burial is the most common method, but cremation is increasingly chosen for flexibility and cost. Cremated remains can be buried, placed in mausoleums, columbariums, urn gardens, or scattered according to state laws. Funeral services for either can be tailored to your needs.
