Woodlawn Memorial Update

OK, we're good to go. Eileen and I talked in more detail about how we'd pay for plot, etc. We'll be making a $650 down payment and paying the rest over 60 months (no finance charge, just flat amount). I sent in the check and the signed contract this afternoon.

Please feel free to contact Jamie Westbrooks, Family Service Counselor, at the cemetery if you would like to go to see the actual spot. He was able to find a nice one right under one of the trees, which is perfect for someone like Mom who has always had a special bond with trees. We can actually swap this spot for another one if we don't wait too long to do so. We can also pay a bit extra and have a tree planted (in the area).

Part of this arrangement is for a bronze marker. For the base price, we can request 6 words of endearment in addition to Mom's name and dates. For example: Loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. I'll let the "wordsmiths" of the family come up with the best option here. We can use several more words (not sure of actual limit) for add'l charge.

If you have any questions, just let me know. You can also call Jamie at (864) 244-4462. He is very nice and I'm sure would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the entire process.
