Very professional and courteous service. The grounds are even beautiful in the dead of winter. Magnificent architecture definitely gives off a serene ambiance adequate for a beautiful celebration of life. This seems like an exquisite place to spend your eternal days of rest.

I would highly recommend Sunset funeral. We’ve worked with Heidi and Amanda and both were excellent . We have used Sunset for both of my parents over the last 4 years. They not only were they very helpful and efficient with all the details they treated us very respectfully. Both services tuned out very nice. We also had them cater the lunch and that was top notch as well! They took the stress out of a very difficult day.

It's very unfortunate with how poorly the grounds look. My first time ever going to this cemetery to locate my great-grandfather's grave was both saddening and frustrating to see everything in such disrepair. Very evident that there's been some theft as my great grandfathers flower cover has been stolen at some point. Per the office hours the building was suppose to be open and attempted to go in to ask where about my great grandfathers grave might be located. Door was locked yet there was a brand new Lincoln with 'rest in peace' as the license plate. Clearly someone who works there. Well. Called the number on the door for a question and no answer. (twice). Per my Grandmother this cemetery was once a very special and up-kept place when he was laid to rest. No longer it seems. Attaching a photo taken in 2014 (online via find a grave) and one from this year showing the missing insert.

This cemetery is large, the grounds are wide open and spatial. There are a few chapel / large mausoleum buildings on the premise sectioning out designated resting areas. (Ie. The Prayer Garden, etc.) When entering through the eastside official gateway, there is a descent into the tailored landscape of the gorgeous bell tower in which plays Fur Elise Beethoven ( organ style ) and other melodic piano symphonys capturing the peaceful yet intense emotion assimilated with all things DEAD. It's definitely a vibe, Beyond the bell tower there is A beautiful fountain pond shaped into a cross , geese gather here to socialize and bathe . Even a black squirrel was spotted darting around the graves. Blue jays are rampant and a Bald Eagle was spotted somewhere in the distance. Crows for days. Anywho, after the pond the layout ends at the Chapel of Memories. Both masouleam for multiple allowed family plots and a chapel designed beautifully with stained glass motif and carved wood decor and original iron gate carving entrances. Perhaps even equipped with an organ as well. The rest of the graveyard contains. Hillside of shady windy roads circulating throughout which gives way to the large acreage this cemetery is working with. In other words, lots of room for burial. There is a high point facing west offering an amazing view of downtown Minneapolis and most of all in the pathway of the setting sun hence the name Sunset Funeral Home. This gorgeous time of day shines golden reflecting and casting gleams of sun rays off the polished granite headstones creating a very magical and tranquil experience for visitors. This is a very spiritual place to spend time within, the dazzling wildlife and majestic trees make it evermore an ethereal experience in itself. Consider burying your loved ones here at this serene, holy, and ever so peaceful eternal resting consecrated burial grounds. Blessed Be. 🙏🌹🕊️❤️✨🌞
