In Memory of Kena Alonso
Hope began with her last wish.
Before she passed away, Kena Alonso dreamed of a green end-of-life option, set in a garden for everyone to enjoy. When she asked her son and daughter-in-law if they would make it a reality, they said, “Yes.”
After more than five years of unwavering dedication, Hope is a wish fulfilled.
Located in the Southwest Florida countryside, Hope is a family owned and operated, licensed, 42-acre natural burial cemetery in a park-like setting.
Hope is a place where friends and family can plant a forest together and where lasting memories are made. It is a place where you can make an impact today and personally experience the results as it grows for years to come.
