A Message from the President

Alan J. MacKinnon, CCE Certified Cemetery Executive

 

When I think about my ministry here at The Gardens, I have to thank God for allowing me the opportunity to help people at one of the most vulnerable times in their lives. In the early years at the cemetery, I questioned God about his choice for my career. I told him I could be a dentist, a builder, or even a landscaper. But are you serious God, work at a cemetery? Over time I began to see how important it was for someone like me, who loves every human being, to be here to help families when they lose a loved one. Please believe me when I say that I sincerely pledge the following to you:

 

  • I will care for you and your loved ones for as long as I shall live.
  • The family member you have entrusted in our care will be treated with the utmost respect.
  • You and your loved one are part of our family here at The Gardens.
  • We love you and will be here for you.
  • We will continue to pray for God’s Mercy and Blessings as you grieve.
  • We will assist you in any way we can with the transition to building a healthy way of life after your loss.
