However you’re feeling today, you’re not alone. 💚

Service options, simply explained.

Every family honors a life in their own way. Here are a few paths we can help you consider:

- Visitation / Viewing: time for family and friends to gather, share memories, and offer support.
- Funeral Service: a structured gathering with readings, music, and personal stories.
- Memorial Service: held with or without the urn present; timing can be flexible.
- Graveside / Committal: a brief service at the place of interment.
- Cremation Options: choose a service before or after cremation, with many meaningful placement choices.
- Personalization: photo and video tributes, favorite music or colors, keepsake tables, and more.

Small rituals can keep someone close.

At dinner, you might light a candle, play a favorite song or share a short story, or write a note/memory and tuck it somewhere special. None of it has to be perfect, just honest. 🌼

What brings you comfort on hard days?

For some, it’s a quiet walk or a favorite song. For others, a cup of tea, calling a friend, or opening an old photo album. There isn’t a “right” answer, only what helps you take the next small step. If you’d like to share, your words might give someone else an idea to hold onto today. 💛

We read every comment with care. If you’re not ready to post publicly, know that we’re here to listen whenever you need us.

Some days, tiny rituals steady us — a candle at dinner, a favorite song on the drive home, a quiet lap around the block. If you’re remembering someone today, may you find comfort in the moments that matter most.

Save this for a gentler moment, or share with a friend who could use it.

Attending a service and wondering what’s thoughtful to bring?

A favorite story, a small photo, or a few kind words can mean so much. Arriving a bit early, signing the guest book, and silencing your phone help keep the space calm for everyone.

With care from Lakeview Memorial Gardens.

Our Story

We have been serving our community with compassion and dedication for more than 40 years. Spread over 25 beautiful acres, our facility is the vision of Robert E. Sherwood, a local real estate developer. The original design was L-shaped to Lake Denton and hence the name Lakeview Memorial Gardens. On April 2, 1969 Lakeview Memorial Gardens conducted its first burial when Vietnam War Hero S-Sgt. Charles W. Jenkins of Lake Placid Fl. Army S-Sgt. Jenkins lost his life in the vicinity of Nha Trang, Vietnam. The climate controlled Chapel of Peace Mausoleum is the perfect place to host an intimate service for a traditional burial or cremation. Our cemetery has flat bronze burial sections including Babyland, Catholic, Christian, Jewish, Masonic and Veterans. Our granite upright monument section is non-sectarian. We offer a range of cremation memorialization options including Cremation Benches, Niches, Private Columbariums, and Below Ground burials . Our team of experienced professionals is always at your service with solutions designed to meet your needs and fit your budget.
