Columbia Gardens Cemetery

I've attended the Columbia Gardens Cemetery Spring Fling twice, and both times, the experience was exceptional. The community is warm and welcoming, and it's evident that the staff and visitors share a deep respect for the space and each other. Many families I've spoken with have only positive things to say about the cemetery, highlighting the care and attention given to their loved ones' final resting places. The serene atmosphere, combined with the beautiful surroundings, makes it a place I look forward to visiting again. I wholeheartedly recommend Columbia Gardens Cemetery to anyone seeking a peaceful and supportive community.

Katherine, Tara, Grace, and the team at Columbia Gardens provided truly an ideal setting for the interment and Life Celebration of my sister. The reception area was lovely, the flowers from Lulu Florist struck the perfect note, and the catering was excellent. Tara worked with me to select the menu and everything was delicious and very tastefully presented. I wholeheartedly recommend Columbia Gardens. They made a sad occasion as perfect as it could be.

My mother passed away after years of battling severe dementia, which sadly led to her losing touch with many friends in the area. I knew her funeral would be a small gathering, but Katherine at Columbia Gardens gave us incredible guidance that made my mother’s funeral both beautiful and memorable. Many of my relatives on my mother’s side rest at Columbia Gardens, and I’ve always felt fortunate to have two of the most beautiful cemeteries in the country here in Arlington. Columbia Gardens is the kind of place where you might visit just for a peaceful walk, listening to the birds and the breeze rustling through the leaves. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover the beautiful event space they now have across from the rose garden, which turned out to be the perfect location for a small catered reception after the burial. For those starting to plan, I had a rough experience with a local funeral home, which is now corporately owned, and ultimately decided to organize everything myself—and I couldn’t be happier with my choices. Following an intimate Mass at St. Agnes, Carewell Cremation, Seasons Catering, and Twin Towers Florist—all wonderful small businesses with heart—made everything come together seamlessly. Thank you, Katherine, and thank you, Columbia Gardens, for helping us honor my mother with grace and dignity.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Columbia Gardens Cemetery and Katherine. After researching several options and then visiting Columbia Gardens, it became evident that this was the perfect option. The grounds are beautiful and the employees genuinely care about the families who walk through their doors. It is such a sensitive time and topic to navigate, and Katherine made us feel safe and comfortable to do so. She was patient with us as we asked many questions while sorting through the decisions, and she helped to streamline the process. We were planning my mother's final arrangements from out-of-state and Katherine helped to ensure that this was as smooth as possible for us, which gave me peace of mind as a "details" person. She was also present at my mother's interment on a Saturday afternoon to ensure everything went smoothly and to give me a much-needed hug. We held a reception luncheon in their on-site event space which is lovely, bright, and newly renovated, and which I would also recommend. My father-in-law even commented that this was the most beautiful cemetery he had ever visited. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Losing a mother leaves a void like no other, and I am grateful to have such a beautiful setting in which to visit her for many years to come.

I've been dealing with this Cemetery for about five years now. Anytime I've ever had a problem the people in the office have been very accommodating, very understating, and very helpful. I have two grave sites that I visit there... one time I had a problem with some flowers. And Heidi explained to me what I needed to do. They have been responsive to my needs and concerns. The people in the office are very helpful. During times of difficulty, and grief during funerals, one thing they were able to do was listen to my concerns and help me get through very difficult times. They really do seem to want to help
