"The Chapel of Angels is a quiet, beautiful chapel with a warm, cozy feeling. This was our 3rd time to use this facility for a family member. The only suggestions are that the podium and tv monitor should be raised so that when the coffin is open, the speaker and slideshow can be easily seen by all without obstruction. Otherwise, this chapel is perfect!"

"When you take of your loved one, make sure to take care of yourself so those that are left behind are not burdened with decisions and financial responsibilities. My father who I recently lost had taken care of all of his plans, even the mass, pallbearers, rosary, military salute and speakers. I myself had already taken care of most all of my plans, and now I have taken care of the opening and closing, for myself, and also for my husband, who even though he is to be cremated, has agreed to let me inter his ashes. The staff at Forest Park are very courteous and helpful."

"They were incredible they went above and beyond for us !!! Our family will NEVER use another funeral home!!!! We walked out of another funeral home owned by dignity(Grandview in Pasadena,Tx )it was a terrible experience I almost fainted they were so pushy & would not let me make changes to fit our budget!!! I called Lawndale( because our family plots are there) the wonderful Angel names Tina Marie help me & made me feel at peace. At that moment I asked what would it take to move her from Grandview to Lawndale. Her Director called me back in less than 15 mins & said no problem she will be moved & not to worry & we Had an appointment at 10:30 AM the next day. They are all Angels & amazing people!!!!
