Resthaven Memorial Park — Local services in New Orleans

Rest Haven & Majestic Mortuary Service charged me $2,100 to bury my uncle (2021). I had his body prepared for burial at Professional for separate cost. I buried my other uncle in 2018 for only $750. They don’t have any itemized pricing and charge you whatever they want. It’s terrible for people to be greedy and try to get over on people during a pandemic. My family previously purchased a plot & have a cemetery deed reserved for six people (all of which names are stated). I was told after two people are buried it’s an additional $850 for the third person despite the deed. $850 for interment, additional $850 increase for third person, & $400 for reuse (which is confusing since you’re paying additional already to add another person when the deed clearly states six individuals names). No pricing list for adding a name to a headstone either. I asked and it’s allegedly $325 & last time in 2018 it was $375. They throw out numbers & tell you it must be paid in full or they’re not burying your love one. DO NOT utilize their services!!! It’s already difficult & painful burying a loved one. It’s extremely sad that people are money...

Resthaven Memorial cemetery boasts that it is a picturesque scenic restful place for your loved one. Their unscrupulous tactics speaks volumes over the written words on the webpage. My mother‘s monument was ordered from out of state location, delivered to an alternate address from the cemetery, unbeknownst to me. The alternate address belongs to a business owned by the cemeteries ground keeper, Cecilia Roberts . The monument was lost/stolen, at her secondary business, which just happens to be a mortuary business operated out of her Aretha Castle location. She did nothing to rectify the situation. Her only stance was to deny that the monument was delivered, even though a signature was obtained. Please beware! If there is any other option of burying your loved one, please choose an alternate. This is a horrific cemetery and poorly run by the groundskeeper. Taking care of this cemetery is not...

This is the worst place ever to bury your loved ones. They took almost a year to get me my father's death certificate. You have to call so many times just to try to get in touch someone and they never answer the phone. I purchased a tombstone online for my father but I was told because it was granite not bronze so I can't put it down. BRONZE only she told me is in the death certificate, but I never received it. I spoke with my family lawyer, He sent me a picture of rest haven cemetery online information stating granite or bronze. This lady deny that was the right information in a where did I get from. Our last conversation was you just have to take us to court that's what she told me so...
