First I want to say my Banditt came home to me as was the plan we decided. Very pleased with everything. My fur baby was returned in a beautiful urn with his name on it and also the paw print was such a great treasure.
"Meadowlawn was excellent! They did very great!"
The staff were just awesome! Everything was perfect.
Everyone from Meadowlawn has been great and helpful!
My experience with Meadowlawn staff and my Funeral Director Whitney was absolutely the best.
At such a difficult time in my life Whitney was not only compassionate and understanding but went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. She listened to every detail about my wants for My Mother's service.
Overwhelmed with appreciation, gratitude. Meadowlawn gave me peace of mind at one of the most toughest time of my life. Our funeral director Rachel Garcia made sure all our needs were meet, helping coordinate everything giving my mother the absolute best service she could have.
During the most difficult time of my life, Elizabeth was very compassionate and had patience at every point of contact I/we had with her. When entering the funeral home everyone was friendly and very professional.
I just had a very spiritual and enlightening experience with funeral director. (Ms R Garcia) She is very competent and professional. She worked with me since early morning hours. I am so grateful for every minute I spent with her She was very quick at resolving several issues we had and she was very fast at getting things done. Not only is she very professional, she is also very compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about the business.
Meadowlawn far exceeded our expectations. Their candor and grace were reassuring during my mother's passing. We had a small issue with a previous employee that was fully rectified. Mary's Garden was a beautiful option for our loved ones.
Words cannot express the gratitude we have for the staff at Meadowlawn. From the day our Mom made her pre-needs selection to the day of her final arrangements, we felt confident that we made the right choice. Sherrie’s compassion and professionalism gave us the comfort to feel Mom’s service was planned and handled with love.
Truly Thank You to Whitney, along with all included staff, at MeadowLawn Memorial and Kathy with the Aftercare program with all support regarding my loved ones arrangements and services. My family and I are very appreciative of your professionalism and sympathy during these times.
My family received excellent service and respect throughout this process. Ms. Watson was able to anticipate our needs before we knew what came next. I received comments from individuals on the program that Whitney called them by name and showed them where to go, etc. I second guessed myself which showed I was stressed. Ms. Watson asked me what I wanted to do and don’t worry about anyone else. This was huge! I felt so relieved after that I was then able to complete the task. I would also like to mention Raymond and Sam for their professionalism as well as Ms. Watson. Thanks
My husband and I would like to thank MeadowLawn Funeral home from the bottom of our hearts for going above and beyond to make Belo, our retired Military Working Dog’s passing services as smooth as they possibly could’ve been. Rachel Garcia took very good care of us and made me feel right at home and helped me cope with his passing. They did exactly what we wanted. We are blessed to have ended up meeting such wonderful people who show you they truly do care about you and understand what you are going through. I can not emphasize more how grateful we are for taking care of his services for us. We appreciate you and truly could not have chosen a better place for him.

My family and I send our sincere gratitude to the staff at MeadowLawn for helping us get through an extremely difficult time as smoothly as possible. We were so disheartened with other establishments we visited before finding Rachel and Ray with MeadowLawn. They were respectful of our wishes and really gave us a sense of security that they would handle things appropriately and allow us the space to give our attention to family. Everyone we encountered was genuine, comforting and committed to making sure the service met our expectations. Even beyond that, the tapestry blanket they did to commemorate my mother was so unexpected and appreciated. It was that level of personal attention that we felt so compelled to comment on.
Yesterday, I purchased my 5th cremation policy from Elaine Edwards when I went to pick up my sisters ashes from Miriam Garcia. These 2 ladies are the reason. They Both are caring, informative, and considerate ladies that make this process easier. I truly have appreciated both of them in the help they extended to me over the last several years. Thanks to both of them, they are exceptional ladies!!
On behalf of the Palomo family I want to say thank you to the entire staff at MeadowLawn for the compassion, empathy, and caring, they showed to our family during the loss of our beloved mom. The service on Saturday, August 3, 2019, was beautiful and noteworthy because of MeadowLawn's commitment to service and professionalism it contributed to a dignified memorial service. A special thank you for Mr. Betancourt for his professionalism and his attention to detail on the day of the service and I would also like to acknowledge Ms. Elizabeth Jimenez for her professionalism, compassion, and guidance in helping us plan the memorial service. The service provided exceeded our expectations! A heartfelt thank you to everyone!
On behalf of the Chapman Family, I want to thank MeadowLawn for the funeral and burial services that was provided on behalf of our mother, Ms. Billie V. Wells. Most noteably, Ms. Rachel Garcia's (Funeral Director) professionalism and knowledge guided and facilitated our efforts with ensuring that our mother was laid to rest respectfully and with dignity and class. There was absolutely no pressure placed on my family and I as she guided us through the various packages and options that MeadowLand had to offer. Her efforts were extremely noted as she facilitated the funeral ceremony and directed the burial process at graveside. She is surely a value-added member of the MeadowLawn team. I would recommend MeadowLawn to any Family seeking a professional, prompt, respectful, and courteous funeral home for their loved one. Thank you Ms. Garcia. You come highly regarded and recommended. v/r Kenneth M. Chapman Major Retired United States Air Force.
On Behalf of the Moreno Family I want to give a BIG Thank You to Ms. Kerri for holding our hand when we came to get things situated for “Honey” and a BIG Thank You to Ms. Rachel for walking us through the whole process for being compassionate caring and considerate of My Poppas feelings throughout this difficult time. You treated us like family and I truly appreciate that!! I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making this whole situation less stressful!!
From the family of Margaret Kittinger, I want to thank all the staff at MeadowLawn for their personal compassionate and caring service. My mother chose to take advantage of preparing ahead of time to save her children the added stress of planning things after she had passed. While still painful, what a tremendous weight it lifted off our shoulders when she did pass away. To the entire staff, staff from the agent that came to our home to help with the prearrangement, to the crew that came to get Mom when she passed, and the office staff that helped with the last of the paperwork......on behalf of my sisters and I, a very heartfelt thank you.

My mother-in-law arranged her cremation years ago with Meadowlawn. She passed last week in hospice in a nursing home in Fredericksburg. We are in another state and this whole thing has been seamless. Our interactions with Rachel at Meadowlawn have been professional, thorough and she has shown such kindness and empathy. Everything, and I mean everything, has been handled with the utmost care. I truly can’t say enough good about Meadowlawn and their staff. Families that need the services of a top-notch funeral home could not find a better one. Thank you Meadowlawn.
