A big thank-you to Adam and Leon at Midwest Print & Sign Specialists for the beautiful new sign for our Cremation Gardens!

Not only is it quality, but much larger, full-color, beautiful and easy to read. It is a definite upgrade from our small 2 foot by 2 foot text only sign!

For those who were not aware, we are the home of Pape Botanical Gardens and Cremation Park, which is located on the east side of Hazel, across from the funeral home. This area is a final resting place for cremated remains that is well cared for and convenient to access 24/7.
