Permanent Memorialization

This means creating a dedicated place for family and friends to connect and remember your loved one.

 

A Consistent Place of Healing

In our modern society, people aren't given enough time to grieve their losses. The pressures of work, even the simple emotional need to ‘be busy,’ often bring the bereaved back into the ‘real’ world far too soon.

Also, many families are choosing to scatter the cremated remains of their loved one in a favorite place; the ocean, or even in the skies above. While that may seem fitting at the time, it means that you do not have a consistent place to connect with the memories of the person you loved so dearly.

Having such permanent place - in a cemetery, mausoleum, or cremation garden - that can be visited regularly by family and friends is an essential part of the time following a death. It becomes a focal point of memorialization, and gives everyone a special place to go to remember your loved one, or to commemorate important occasions. It can help to make a birthday or anniversary less painful.

A permanent place to reflect on your loved one becomes a way of connecting to a family's past. Visiting the resting place of grandparents or great-grandparents may provide children with an anchor to their personal history. It is a connection to the past, to love shared. It truly honors the relationship you still have – and will always have – with that person.

Hillcrest Cemetery, located on Highway 544 in Conway, is a beautifully landscaped perpetual care cemetery that has served the Horry County area since 1953.  It is a place to celebrate the lives of people, each with a story to tell. The cemetery is beautifully landscaped with native flowers and shrubs with unique features in each section. A serene lake runs through the property where many options offer burial and entombment to suit all faiths.

The facilities at Hillcrest are meant to serve Horry County now and in the future, as Hillcrest is a special place for families in our community. We believe that the true value of what we do is found in helping families heal after the loss of a loved one by providing them a place where they can come to remember, reflect and honor the life lived.  To find out more information, please go to our website, www.hillcrestcemetery.com, call 843-347-4909 or visit our office and speak with our professional, caring staff.
