WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE US
A Family-Owned Approach to Meaningful Care
We believe family ownership creates a better experience for the families we serve. It allows us to lead with heart, stay connected to our communities, and provide care that feels personal from beginning to end.
Family-Owned Leadership
Our funeral homes are led by people who live and work in the communities we serve. That means personal guidance, local accountability, and care are centered on every family.
Connected Locations, Stronger Support
Our locations work together to provide experienced staff, shared resources, and dependable support. This allows us to serve families efficiently while maintaining personal attention.
Faster Response, When it Matters
A coordinated team means quicker answers, smoother arrangements, and support available whenever you call. We are prepared to help, day or night.

Keeping Their Memory Within Reach.
Every family has a story written in the small details. Our personalized keepsakes turn a unique touch into a timeless treasure, so no matter the distance, your loved one is always right there with you.
- Hold them close — a tangible way to keep your favorite memories within reach.
- A unique legacy — preserve the one-of-a-kind signature of the person you cherish.
- A gift for generations — create a lasting reminder of the bonds that define your family.
Cherished Memories on Display:
Glass-Front Niches
We believe a memorial should be as vibrant as the life it honors. Our glass-front niches provide a secure, gentle home for your loved one, while giving your family the freedom to surround them with meaningful treasures. It’s more than a niche; it’s a lasting, luminous tribute built for quiet moments and lasting love.
To inquire about availability or schedule a private viewing of our glass-front niches, please call our cemetery team directly at (352) 376-9552.
THE SCATTERING GARDEN
A
Dedicated Place of Remembrance
The Scattering Garden at Forest Meadows Central provides a peaceful and dignified final resting place for those who have chosen cremation. Surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the cemetery grounds, the garden offers families a permanent place to remember, reflect, and honor someone they love.
Rather than keeping cremated remains at home or scattering them in a location that may change or become inaccessible over time, the Scattering Garden provides the security of a dedicated cemetery setting. Families can return to the cemetery for generations, creating a lasting connection to their loved one. This combination of cremation flexibility with a permanent place of remembrance is one of the principal benefits of cemetery scattering gardens.
