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.

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.

Memorial Candle FAQ

Q: Are the candles real or simply virtual (online) images of support and tribute?
A: The Memorial Candles are online representations of love and tribute only. No physical candle will be lit in memory of a loved one.
Q: How do I correct my spelling error after purchasing a candle?
A: Please contact the funeral home to make the correction for you.
Q: Why can't I see several words in my memorial candle message?
A: This is most likely due to your screen resolution. The minimum system requirement is 1024 x 768 pixels.

A: If there is an error with your Memorial Candle message, please contact the funeral home to make changes. If there is a technical error, email andrew@frontrunner360.com.
Q: How can I resolve an issue with a candle purchase? I was charged four times even though I received three rejection notices. My credit card company says all went through.
A: InternetSecure, the credit card processing company that manages the online credit card transactions, declined your transactions. Even though your credit card company may have approved, the transaction must still be approved by both companies. Your credit card will show the transactions, however the additional ones will be refunded and shown on your statement within 72 hours. Please Note: FrontRunner Professional DOES NOT process any credit card transactions. NO funds are deposited to our accounts unless approved by both the credit card company and InternetSecure.

A: Please make sure that all information you enter is exactly the same information associated with your credit card account. The name, address and phone number must be the same as what's on record with your credit card company. If your credit card is a VISA and you have entered the information correctly, your card may be refused because it is not set up as being Verified by VISA. Please discuss this security feature directly with VISA rather than your bank.
Q: What should I do if I don't have an email address but would like to purchase a Memorial Candle?
A: You can purchase a Memorial Candle without a valid email address, however your receipt will be emailed to the address entered. You could enter an email address of a friend or family member who would be willing to print off a hard copy of the receipt for you.

Q: When will my candle message be visible? I ordered one but I'm not certain if it was processed.
A: The message will appear as soon as the transaction is processed / once your payment receipt is issued. If you do not receive a receipt, the transaction was not processed.
Q: Why is my message not appearing on the candle?
A: You may need to clear your internet history / cache in your web browser. Press F5 key on your keyboard but if that doesn't work, you will need to delete your history. Since the settings are different for each browser, review your browser's settings and help documentation to determine how to delete the history.

A: There are many reasons why a credit card transaction may not be approved. The most common reasons are: incorrect card number; incorrect password; incorrect expiry date, the address does not match credit card statements; the card is blocked for e-commerce use: and the cardholder has exceeded or is close to the credit card limit. Please contact your credit card company for more information.
Q: How do I go back to add a condolence message?
A: If you have not cleared your computer's cache or disabled the cookies, you should be able to open up the condolences page to make any changes. If you do not see this option, please contact the funeral home to help make the change.
Q: Am I only able to make one purchase per day with my credit card?
A: You are able to make five transactions on the same card in a 24-hour period.
Q: Is the family notified about all purchased memorials?
A: The funeral home determines with the family the preferred method (if any) of notifications. Families are able to login to the Book of Memories where they can see all updates. There is also an option to be notified via email.
Q: Are there hidden fees? I received an email that confirmed the price of a memorial candle was $29.95 but my credit card statement showed the cost was $30.19.
A: No, there are no hidden fees. FrontRunner Professional only receives $29.95 for the candle purchase. Any additional fees are generated by credit card companies or financial institutions.
Q: Why was my credit card charged multiple times but the payment receipt shows declined transactions?
A: Internet Secure is attempting to approve your purchase but your credit card company is declining the transaction. This is usually caused by incorrect information submitted during the purchasing process. Please ensure that your address information is exactly the same as what appears on your statement. Your credit card account will display a credit of any failed transactions within a couple of business days.
