Real Stories from Real People

My mother recently had to put her dog, kilo 17 years old, down this last month which was incredibly hard for her, but Donnie with Graceland went above and beyond to make the cremation process that much less painful for her and you could tell he genuinely cared about her and kilo. We very grateful for him and Graceland cemetery.
