Recently my Grandfather on my Mom's side passed away and we traveled to Ohio for the funeral. It…read morewas the first time I had been back since I was 17 and it had to be on a bad note that it happened. I have been blessed to have only been to a few funerals in my life but this was the first person that I really knew and had family ties to. I was actually really impressed with this Funeral home and the professional appearance of the family that ran it. I am pretty sure they knew my Grandparents and went to church with them. I am guessing that the building was a converted house from a long time ago as it felt more like a home than a business and you were there for an event rather than something sad. Everyone was very courteous and helpful even as we carted around our 3 kids. I in my own way have a great respect for this business and what they are able to do. It's funny that a place like this with its finality and ending would make you realize more clearly that life is so short and a beautiful precious gift, don't waste it, make it count.

Marino. I live in California so the planning and travel time was short, but Bill made the process so smooth and flawless that it took the stress off of me and my family in planning the funeral. He goes above and beyond what you ask and showed so much compassion, care and respect in the memorial services for my father. He is a dedicated, true professional with high standards of integrity in how he conducts business but most importantly in how he treated me and my family. I know he may be considered the "new" guy in town but he should be the "only" guy in town that you go to in times of sorrow and sympathy. Thank you again for EVERYTHING! Kind Regards, Cheryl Marino & Family

When my mother was paying for the services there was definitely added charges to the billing. She paid what they asked anyway. She had continued to also plan and pay for her services for when the time came. When she did pass July 2018, we had her services at Flynn's funeral home. As stated she paid ahead of time and there wasn't much we had to pay for at the time of her services. I can say they were not as attentive to our needs this time around. My sisters and I felt like we didn't have direction during her services. When we had the graveside services a few days later, there was nothing set up. We had to call to have the flowers and funeral directors to come. 6 months later her date is not present on the headstone either. I believe the difference was they were paid ahead of time. They didn't need to try to please us anymore.

To the person who wrote that their Loved ones bronze vase…read morewas stolen- I am very sorry to hear that. Many years ago I worked for a cemetery in the area. It is sad that there is theft but that has been happening forever all over the country. There are signs posted in most cemeteries for no " entering" at dusk. People will steal no matter where it is. You can't expect a cemetery to hire a " night watchman" ( would you want that job?) motion lights, cameras, & all other things mentioned. The cost is too high, the area is vast & they would have to pass the cost to the families. Many people do not visit their loved ones over the years - they may live out of the area or feel going to the cemetery is not what they wish to do. For the ones who do visit it's a sad fact that there is theft here & there. I'm sorry for your loss & the theft. I have close friends buried at Forest Lawn- it is a beautiful memorial park. Elizabeth Hartman from the 1960's movie A Patch of Blue is buried there.

We recently discovered that our two family gravemarkers had their bronze vases stolen. We were…read morenever told by the office. When we contacted them the staff stated more than 20 have been stolen. They called the Police but have done nothing to improve the security of our loved ones' graves. No cameras, no warning or no trespassing signs, no night watchman, no motion detector floodlights, no increased police patrols, they have not even contacted local scrap yards to describe the items and encourage them NOT to accept the vases from graves. The Board Chairman told us to file a claim for the $300 vases with our own insurance. Why doesn't the cemetery have insurance against theft and vandalism on their property? Even if we paid for replacements, they have not taken any steps to prevent the new ones from being stolen. What's next? If the large bronze markers are pried up who will replace them? Perhaps the Board is looking at this as a way to receive more revenue? The more that are stolen, the more they sell! Clearly, the cemetery believes they have no responsibility to the families who have trusted them to protect our loved ones' grave sites all these years. The Board President stated the Board and management have known about this problem for years and yet they have done NOTHING.
