About Polk Memorial Gardens

Polk Memorial Gardens is a full-service cemetery and funeral home in Columbia, Tennessee, operating as part of Park Lawn Corporation, a large publicly traded funeral services company — families who prefer locally or family-owned operations may want to keep that in mind. Reviewers consistently praise the grounds staff for keeping the property well-maintained and describe the office personnel as kind and compassionate during difficult moments. However, several reviews raise meaningful concerns about follow-through on orders and communication: multiple customers reported misspelled or incorrectly dated memorial items that took months to resolve, difficulty reaching staff who could give clear answers, and unreturned calls. One family also noted additional charges of $600 for a Sunday burial and $100 for services extending past 3 p.m., which came as an unwelcome surprise during an already stressful time — families should ask upfront about any day-of-week or time-of-day fees. With a 4.3-star rating across only 17 reviews, the overall impression is cautiously positive, but the pattern of administrative and fulfillment issues is worth weighing carefully if timely, accurate delivery of memorial items is important to you.

They charge $600 more for a Sunday burial and an extra $100 because we would be at the cemetery after 3PM. …

I have been waiting since February 3rd 2025 to receive the date of death scroll to go on my mothers grave. It was supposed to have been in June 2025, or it arrived with the wrong date. After I inquired again about the scroll July 1st, I was told it had the wrong date and was reordered. I have contin…

Gentle, compassionate office staff. Grounds crew is constantly working to beautify the grounds. All personnel are highly respectful of our loved ones that are interred there and any services that are going on at any given time.

Ordered a stone through them in June. The one they brought out was misspelled. They ordered another one. I've called and called. Can never find someone who knows what's going on. Then they say "I'll call you back" and never do. Then will lie to your face and say they left you a message when the num…
