Some lovely testimonials by the families of Countryside
“Recently I was one of a small family group at the burial of our elder brother and uncle, William C Harpold Jr, at Countryside Memorial Park in La Vernia TX. What a lovely, perfect Texas day! Here is my cemetery testimonial: We gathered in a flower-strewn field under a gnarled pine tree with grapevine twining through it, sang the old familiar and some new songs, recited scripture, poems, and tributes, and then held hands as we concluded with “Happy Trails to You.” After that, we each took a turn tossing a shovelful of dirt onto the coffin, adding a few extra shovelfuls for our missing brothers and sisters, some having gone before. I have never been so moved by a burial service. Neil degrasse Tyson says, “just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime, [may] my body in death be buried…so that flora and fauna can dine upon it.” Juanita ~ Sister
We never knew something like this existed.
“Sunny, I am so thankful Tiffany found this place as I had looked 10 yrs earlier here in San Antonio and surrounding area to come up with not one! It was a bumpy time for Tutti and I with all the arrangement tearing apart thinking we were going to wake up and just add the bows and the few natural textures So I want to thank you and your entire Memorial Park Staff , Genaro all pitching in along with friends if not it would not have happened! Jack loved his flowers and it would had not been the same. Every friend there came up to me and my family said we never knew something like this existed and now I want to be buried this exact way my oldest daughter said on a family thread of my brothers and sisters and cousins that lived in Georgia, Kentucky etc. she said this was the most beautiful and spiritual Life Celebration I have ever experienced! 
Blessings, Brenda”
