Forest Lawn Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens — Local services in Nashville-Davidson

My precious mother passed Aug 11, 2021. By far the worst time of my life. She was my partner in crime, we had amazing times together and at 97 she was still ready to go and do. I cannot express the gratitude and respect I have for Samuel Brewer at this facility. Samuel understood and accommodated every request. I asked that they not cover my moms face as she did not want that, they accommodated when they picked her up at the hospital, I asked that I do her hair and makeup, they accommodated and had my mom covered in a beautiful blanket, the girls at he dressing facility were amazing. Samuel had already told them my wishes and needs and they were so accommodating and gracious. I asked Samuel for me to spend the last night with my mom and he without hesitation arranged for me to do so. Bradley, an employee stayed the night in the funeral home and watched over me and my mom. Samuel listened when we talked about our mom and picked up that she never worried about anything but gave it up to God and her favorite colors. He gave us such a sweet gift at the gravesite. He had put a plaque with a Bible on it and No Worries written under it. He also had the vault colored as close to lavender as he could do. Samuel you made this devasting time a sweet memory. THANK YOU. Polly Neely, Annie M...

Recently my mother passed away and we knew she would be buried at Forest Lawn because her and my father had purchased grave sites there many years ago but after the high pressure sales and lack of flexibility we endured with Forest Lawn when my father passed away we know we would not be holding the funeral service or visitation there.

We still had to go by Forest Lawn to verify the grave site and that should have taken no more than 30 minutes but it wound up taking 3 hours. They seem to not understand what a family is going through or how to provide good customer service.

Now I am receiving spam emails from the company that owns Forest Lawn all of the time. I don't want to see emails trying to push funeral plans on me just a few weeks after burying my mother. They call themselves "Dignity" but they have...

My father passed away on December 17th, 2016. He had very little life insurance but it was more than enough for his cremation but not enough for a funeral. I bought his urn through another company and we're doing a small memorial service at my aunt and uncle's house. Forrest Lawn did not make much money from us, however, I was still treated with so much respect by them. Robert was the man in charge of my dad's case and he was amazing. He was very considerate and sympathetic. He never made me feel bad about not having alot if money to spend with them. He went above and beyond to assist me during this very difficult time in my life. Thank you Robert...for treating me as well as someone who had alot more money would've been treated and for all you...
