Incredibly disappointing experience. We just buried my father, but Sparkman Hillcrest changed terms on the contract billing. We felt like they acted unethically in settling the bill. The passing of my dad was trying but Sparkman Hillcrest just added to the emotion and stress, and proving at least to me some of the negative aspects /tricks of the funeral business. We won't be going back.

Went to the Memorial Park to pay my respects to Mickey Mantle. It was kind of strange as I was the only one in the place and was a few feet from Mickeys tomb. It was sad to see his 2 boys with him as they died young. I actually met him and got my photo with him in 1994 and he died a year later. Its hard to believe hes been gone that long. A beautiful facility with beautiful well kept up grounds. Other notables there are Tom Landry and people associated with the Kennedy assasination.

I came to Sparkman-Hillcrest Cemetery to visit the grave of two sports Hall of Famers. The largest building on the property is the grand mausoleum and it is here that New York Yankee Great Mickey Mantle is entombed with his wife and two sons. Just a couple of hallways over from Mickey Mantle are two notable Kennedy Assassination figures are entombed. William Bill Decker who was the long time sheriff of Dallas County and was in office the day President Kennedy was assassinated. In the same room as Sheriff Decker is the tomb of Judge Sarah T. Hughes. Judge Hughes is the federal judge that was summoned to Air Force One to administer the Oath of Office to President Lyndon Johnson. Moving outside to the lawn in front of the mausoleum I found the grave of Henry Wade who was the District Attorney that prosecuted Jack Ruby for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. Henry Wade was also the Wade in the landmark court decision Roe v. Wade. Finally in the the lawn behind the Funeral Home and Office is the Grave of Tom Landry, who was the Coach of the Dallas Cowboys for 29-years. Sparkman-Hillcrest is located in north Dallas with the main entrance off of the Northwest Highway and if you are into famous graves there are a number of notable people resting here.
