About Memory Chapel Funeral Home & Memory Hill Gardens
Memory Chapel Funeral Home & Memory Hill Gardens is part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the country, which is worth knowing as some families prefer locally or independently owned providers. With a 4.7-star rating across 189 Google reviews, the home has a strong overall reputation, and customers frequently describe the staff as professional, compassionate, and low-pressure during an incredibly difficult time. However, a notable pattern across multiple reviews involves significant delays in grave marker delivery — in some cases leaving loved ones in unmarked graves for a year or more — so families purchasing markers may want to ask detailed questions about ordering timelines and follow-up procedures before committing. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so it's worth requesting an itemized General Price List directly from the funeral home, which they are legally required to provide upon request.

a month agoMy brother passed away a year ago. The same week he passed we ordered the marker for his grave. Months and months went by and no call about his marker. No email. Both of which were promised. I go in to find out what the problem may be and his marker was NEVER ordered. Even though we sat there in th…

2 months agoWe did not feel pressured to purchase any services we didn't specifically need. All staff we encountered were professional and courteous.

5 months agoFirst, let me say that my father and two of my grandfathers and grandmothers are buried here. When they passed, we used Memory Chapel for the entirety of their funerals. However, when my brother and I met with them to plan ahead for my terminally ill mother, it was a completely different experienc…
