Coleman Memorial Cemetery

Laid my Mom to rest here on Oct. 4th and Mr. Scruggs who owns and manages this cemetery is very nice and considerate of our family in our time of Grief , I met with him today and he was so helpful in helping me with picking out the perfect Marker for my Mom! Thank You for taking care of my Loved ones remains

I have the upmost respect for Mr.and Mrs. Scruggs they are some of the nicest people you'll every meet.When it came time for me and my husband to start thinking about our final resting place would be the choice was easy being from this area all my life I knew this would be the perfect place it is beautiful,the grounds are well keep,and it's watched over really well nobody is gonna vandalize are mess nothing up (we do live in a cruel mean world). It's a beautiful place overlooking the mountains.Mr.&Mrs Scruggs were so nice and tried to meet all our needs from our marker to our plots. I would recommend this Cemetery to anyone.My great Grandma &Grandpa, Aunt and Uncle are buried there as well. Always has been a wonderful place to visit your loved ones and the owners are so polite and kind for as far back as I can remember. So I don't understand all the mean and negative comments. Just look around at some of the other Cemeteries in this area and you can see and feel the difference that caring people make. Thank You!!!!!

The Scrugg's have always been kind, thoughtful and respectful to my family and myself. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone's loved ones are well looked after. My husband and I both have plots there and are extremely grateful knowing once we are gone. Our resting site will be cared for and looked after as well as can be. Our marker is absolutely perfect. Simple but elegant. Mr. Scrugg's went out of his way on numerous occasions to offer any and all assistance he could to make sure we got exactly everything we wanted! Him and his wife are both amazing. They sincerely care for all their clients and their families. They go above and beyond to make sure the cemetery is clean and well kept. I will always recommend them to anyone in need of a plot or marker.

I'm genuinely boggled at the negative reviews given to the owners of Coleman Cemetary. I had an extensive conversation with Mrs. Scruggs and found her to be very kind, compassionate, understanding, and willing to go above and beyond to help me in any way she could. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience.

Mr. and Mrs. Scruggs, Thank you for your kindness, patience and desire to help my wife and I with our Cemetery desires. I had discussed with a few cemeteries in the upstate our desire for pre planning cemetery arrangements. Other Cemeteries made the process seem more like we were purchasing a used car with discounts and deadlines, than a final resting place for our earthly vessels. Thank God that we serve a Lord, of second chances. God has forgiven me of my earthly ways. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Coleman Memorial Cemetery does not advertise and so its by word of mouth, that people make a choice to either check out the Cemetery or not. I do not know the circumstances concerning some of the negative comments on FB and certainly cannot comment on them, nor do I desire to. All I can say is that I met with Mr. Scruggs in the cemetery. I explained our desires for pre planning cemetery arrangements. He told us the price and he told us the rules. No frills, no games, no nonsense and I found him to be pleasant in our conversation. The Cemetery is pretty, we like the view of the mountains, black rail fence, quiet and peaceful. We are thankful that we followed our hearts, kept an open mind and allowed Coleman Memorial Cemetery a chance. We are very pleased that we did. Again, thank you for helping us make such a final decision so easy and comforting. Raymond Kuhne

One of the nicest and most beautiful place for your loved ones. The people there are absolutely wonderful in your time of sorrow. I highly recommend them in your time of need.

Great place. Everything is well maintained and taken care of. Nice people

Great business

The Cemetery is well taken care of and its probably one of the nicest ones in the area. BUT Who gates up there cemetery and tells there visitors to walk?

My husband has been buried at this cemetery for 17 months. I thought I would give it some time since it was a new grave, but it looks worse now than it did a year ago. The grave is uneven and covered in red ants. The only communication I had with the man who I assume owns the cemetery was on my first visit. He stalked me - driving around in his truck watching me the entire time I was there. I had no privacy. Then he yelled at me for leaving flowers in a cemetery vase before the headstone was placed. He was very disrespectful to a grieving widow. I’m very disappointed. You should think twice before buying a plot here.

I’m appalled by the condition of a dear family member’s burial site in your cemetery. I had recently traveled to see his final resting place. This was the first time I’ve had to travel to Mississippi from North Carolina in the nearly two years since he passed. I was informed at the time I got there that I was not allowed to leave flowers without a vase which I was totally taken aback from. I find that utterly ridiculous. But the most unacceptable problem I encountered was the condition of the the burial site. It was nothing but a mound of dirt no grass an unkempt. I really feel that the cemetery should take better care of beloved family members final resting places.

I used to visit this place all the time as my mother is buried there and my grandmother my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather as well as other family members and Friends. However when Seth died and Robbie took over I no longer visit their grave sites because I feel so uncomfortable to say the least. Robbie and his wife will Circle you like vultures in their truck or they will sit back and just watch you while you're there. I do not recommend anyone bury your loved ones here

Sadly, I cannot personally recommend Coleman Cemetery. The cemetery has always been beautiful and well-kept. My husband and I purchased two lots there in bsck in 1999. The owner at that time (the current owner’s father) and his wife were lovely and pleasant to deal with. They took good care of the grounds, and never felt the need to guard it by showing up and parking nearby when I was there. In fact, the cemetery office overlooks the entire property. The grounds can always be watched unobtrusively from there.
However, things have changed. My husband died a year ago. In that year, every time I visit, the current owner sits nearby in a black truck, watching. My most recent experience visiting my husband’s grave occurred April 6, 2020. The gate was open. I had just driven in. As I was getting out of my car, the owner drove his truck up behind me, The wife got out and for some reason began angrily shouting at me that I could not be there. I asked why, and she said because of Covid, (Covid at that date did not require staying in-place, only recommending social distancing and face coverings.)
At the time of my arrival there was no one else there, except my daughter, who had driven me there. I explained I had come a long way and just wanted to walk over and visit the grave. I am 80 years old and disabled, so I opened the trunk to get out a folding chair. I wanted to
be able sit by the grave, as I cannot stand very long. The owner again began shouting and even cursing, saying folding chairs are not allowed, not now not ever. I didn't argue. and put the chair back in my car. I walked across the uneven ground to my husband’s grave and knelt in the wet grass. The owner then drove his truck up near the grave and informed me they were calling the police. And they did!
The dispatch call they placed said there was a “disturbance” at the cemetery. (I have a copy). The owners also reported I had a dog which was not allowed. I had lost my beloved dog, who had been my only
companion, to illness the week before. I had his ashes with me in a little box and had laid them on my husband’s grave while I knelt there. Surely, that was not what they were referring to?
The police arrived. They spoke first with the owner, then with me They told me that since the couple were the owners, they couldn’t ask them to leave. The officer said that in any other situation, he would tell me just to take my business elsewhere, but obviously that was not an option
for me in this situation. So, as far as the police were concerned, I could stay as long as I wanted and visit my husband, and they left.
I was very upset. It really makes me anxious and sad have to deal with this kind of drama in order to visit my husband’s grave. I would not hold a grudge against these owners, if they would only try speaking kindly to people in a situation like this and giving them a little privacy.
Again, this is my personal experience I would never consider disturbing my darling husband in his resting place, but had he and I known back in 1999 this would happen, we would NEVER have chosen Coleman Cemetery.

I was riding my bike on a nice Sunday afternoon and the flipping cemetery troll comes out of the woods and says “don’t ride through MY cemetery “ . I’ve never seen someone so obsessed over graves. DO NOT BURY YOUR LOVED ONES HERE. This is just one of MANY times we have had issues. When you go to visit graves he drives around in his black truck and will circle you until you leave. If you drive by the cemetery he will have his truck sitting perfectly in the center so he can make sure nothings happened and if you drive into the cemetery he will stop you or follow you.

The husband and wife that own this place are completely mental. They'll watch you constantly, follow you in their truck, and scream at you even if you follow the stated rules. They deserve each other and probably deserve to spend all their time in the cemetery.
