Services
The flagship facility at 725 NW 23rd Ave. houses the funeral home operations and connects to The Tribute Center, described as a state-of-the-art on-site mausoleum and chapel. Glass front niches are available for cremated remains, offering families a protected yet visible memorial option. The three cemetery properties provide distinct environments: Cemetery-Central offers expansive manicured grounds with orderly headstone arrangements; Cemetery-West features oak trees with Spanish moss in a more natural setting; Cemetery-East emphasizes scenic, well-maintained landscapes. Cemetery contact is centralized at (352) 376-9552, separate from the funeral home's (352) 378-2528 line.
Forest Meadows emphasizes comprehensive, all-in-one care where families can arrange funeral services, cremation, and permanent memorialization without coordinating multiple vendors.
Forest Meadows Funeral Home & Cemeteries has served the Gainesville community since 1951, making it one of the area's longest-established funeral providers. The operation stands out for its fully integrated model: the funeral home, crematory, and three cemetery locations all operate under common ownership, eliminating third-party transfers and keeping loved ones in continuous care.
Located at 725 NW 23rd Ave., the funeral home anchors a network that includes Forest Meadows Cemetery-Central (4100 NW 39th Ave.), Cemetery-West in Newberry (700 NW 143rd St.), and Cemetery-East on SE Hawthorne Rd. This geographic spread gives families options across Alachua County while maintaining consistent service standards. The business identifies as family-owned and family-rooted in the funeral profession, though specific founding family names are not detailed in available materials.
