Oakmont has 4 plots my grandparents purchased years ago. Three of them are used by my grandparents and great grandmother, the other is still vacant. The times I have come to visit their sites, there is grass grown over the headstones as well as the gravesites sinking into the ground. I brought this up on several occasions about the sinking and was never contacted nor was anything done. When my mother passed on 5/20/2026 at home we called them to see if they could pick up her body as well as help us make some type of payment plans seeing my brother and myself are the children and no one else is left and my mother left no direction for us. We were met with a very rude mortuary manager who told us they wouldn’t even come and get the body unless we had all of the money for everything which would be around 10,000. My son is a social worker in hospice and even he was spoken to rudely and we were told “ we could shop around but we wouldn’t find anyone to do it”. Well as God has it, we did and not only did they get her body but they allowed us to make arrangements for cremation and all for under 2,000! They were kind, respectful and we never felt “ less than” like we did with Oakmont. If I were you I’d would definitely be sure you are getting a loved one’s resting place that is taken care of at Oakmont as well as be sure that you are respected in your time of need. I guess with them, it’s all about the money .

Maureen and Lindsey were exemplary in the care and service of our parents remains and in the conduct and empathy to the survivors.
I’m truly glad that they were there to help us though this transition.

We have 4 family members in Oakmont cemetery, and we always had the best experience. Maureen, Philip gave us a first class experience and support during the loss of our father recently. We appreciate you all during our grief.

I thought that our case manage Perandis Was wonderful. She was compassionate, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure that while we were grieving the loss of my mother, we were well taken care of and had all of our bases covered. I feel grateful for the care, compassion, and patience she showed through out the very difficult process of planning for and burial of a loved one.
Frequently Asked Questions About Oakmont Memorial Park
What do I do when a death occurs?
The funeral home will help coordinate arrangements with the cemetery.
Bring the following information to complete the State vital statistic requirements:
✓ Birthplace
✓ Father's Name
✓ Mother's Name
✓ Social Security Number
✓ Veteran's Discharge or Claim Number
✓ Education
✓ Marital Status
Contact your clergy. Decide on time and place of funeral or memorial service. This can be done at the funeral home.
The funeral home will assist you in determining the number of copies of the death certificates you will be needing and can order them for you.
Make a list of immediate family, close friends and employer or business colleagues. Notify each by phone.
Decide on appropriate memorial to which gifts may be made (church, hospice, library, charity or school).
Gather obituary information you want to include such as age, place of birth, cause of death, occupation, college degrees, memberships held, military service , outstanding work, list of survivors in immediate family. Include time and place of services. The funeral home will normally write article and submit to newspapers (newspaper will accept picture and they will be returned intact).
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.
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."
