On Aug 1st, I called long distance to Cedar Hill for information about the cause of death, funeral director, any family names, and grave location for a maternal great aunt buried there. Mr. Robert Anthony said he'd have to look it up and would call me back. He took my name and number but did not return my call. I called again on Aug 23. This time Elizabeth listened to my request and said "they don't keep those statistics." I asked if Cedar Hill didn't have cemetery cards. She retrieved the card at my request and provided the cause of death, funeral director and grave site information. She seemed stressed by my request and repeated the "not keeping those statistics" statement a few times. I still don't know what she was referring to. Anyway, I can't say it was a great interaction but I was successful in obtaining the grave location. Good luck to anyone who has to deal with them. Dottie Engemann Ormond Beach, FL
