Had the pleasure of working with Rico for pre-planning of my final arrangements. He was kind and knowledgeable, walking through all of my options and patiently answering all questions I had. I highly recommend this facility and its staff.

Kalyn Dukes was a pleasure to work with to create our plan for our final resting place at Serenity Meadows. She was very kind, knowledgable and friendly throughout the entire process and made us feel very comfortable with no pressure. Thanks Kalyn!

One of the nicest facility and very flexible to meet your funeral process. Staff is exceptionally well train to go above and beyond. We had to do funeral and cremation with Indian ritual amid of covid crisis with several limitation under safety guideline of local and Florida health dept. , Anna (funeral Director) was very accommodating to our family for entire process. I admire the management and entire team with sincere appreciation how they manage during the pandemic.

Everyone was friendly, Allen was exceptional. He always put my mind at ease with my questions, going through this for the first time I would highly recommend Serenity Meadows

My husband died in January 2009. The funeral director at that time could not have been more compassionate. He worked with me in conjunction with my Church and spared nothing! I would recommend Serenity Meadows to any family for their needs at such a vulnerable time. I have already prearranged my own funeral with Serenity.

This was my first experience with a funeral home. I was beyond impressed with Serenity Meadows. Most of my dealings were with Jennifer & Ana but every staff member was very kind and courteous. I can hardly find the words to express how pleased I was with their kindness, compassion, and professionalism.
Jennifer handled all the funeral arrangements and was very accommodating and helpful. I was very appreciative of the way Ana handled the cremation process, telling us exactly what to expect. They handled my mother's body with the utmost dignity and respect. I highly recommend them!

Nothing but nice things to say about these folks. Jeanie was so sweet helping us pick plots, and Jennifer handled the arrangements. They were kind, supportive, and helped us keep the expenses fair. I was very worried because it seems to be a business that has some unscrupulous folks. That was not the case here. They were very open and honest, and the facility was great.

Condolence: Well Mrs Durfee, they say people are judged in life by the friends and family they have surrounding them. I know when you look back and see all the love and happiness around you, take pride in knowing you did an amazing job raising your family and leaving this place a lot better than you found it. God Bless

Condolence: Janice was a wonderful woman who used her artistic giftedness to spread joy to everyone. She lovingly knitted baby blankets for every child born to a staff member at 10News for many, many years. My kids still use them (they're now 11 and 8!). Every time I put on one of her scarves, I will remember her. Janice will be missed, but her legacy lives on through her knitted gifts and keepsakes. My condolences go out to her family and I'm praying for comfort during this time.

Condolence: I have only known you for about 6 months but you are the nicest and sweetest person I have met and although I didn't know your MOM, I'm very sure she is a huge reflection of who you are and who she was. Please accept my condolences to you and your entire family. We are Christians and will be praying for you. God bless you and your family....

Condolence: Janice is a beautiful woman inside and out. Her spirit would always brighten the day. From the very first day I met her and Bill I knew she was a special lady. She will be dearly missed. May she rest in peace with our Heavenly Father. Much love to her and her family! Kelly and the Wells Fargo team.
