My father-in-law's funeral was at Duckett, they did a nice job. when my mother-in-law died, my…read morehusband wanted to have it at the same place because it was right down the street from where they lived. 2 years prior We met with a man from Duckett and planned/prepaid while she was in a nursing home, the man was lovely and explained everything to us and we paid. When my mother-in-law passed, we contacted Duckett, but the man we met with was no longer there., We met with a woman who said she was the director, she had a really difficult time locating our contract, but finally did. It was an odd meeting, and I felt like she was very new at this. The day of the funeral we arrived on time as the family, when we walked into the funeral home we couldn't find her or anybody, there was a janitor's door open, and a lot of cleaning supplies were still out in the hall. My family came in right behind us and brought it to our attention that there was no book for people to sign in so we had to look for the director ( took us 10 minutes to locate her) to ask her for the book and the stand. When my husband got up at the funeral to to speak, there wasn't anything for him to put his notes on. Again, I went looking for the director to ask her and she said she took the stand to put the sign in book on so she took the sign in book off and carry the stand to where my husband was speaking. It was odd, the entire ordeal was odd. Lastly, and I hate to bring this up, but my mother-in-law looked horrible. She had makeup caked on her and bright red lipstick. I couldn't in good faith recommend this place. Sorry

Sure I was pretty upset in the first place seeing us were there for a funeral, but I thought the whole purpose of those people was to keep everything smooth. The actual interior has water stained ceilings, bathroom fans that are dying much like the whole reason you're there is way better places.

John was meant for this work and it shows. He is empathetic and patient, while also being extremely organized, knowledgeable and seemingly always available. John walked us down this very difficult path in a gentle manner, and took care of us and our mom like we were family. We never felt pushed towards any decisions, he showed us options and let us decide always ready to answer questions. I hope I won't be planning a funeral for a long time, but I can tell you without a doubt I would work with Dee again.

My wife recently passed away and I chose Fowler Kennedy as our funeral home. I did this with…read morelittle consideration beyond proximity to my house. I dealt directly with Matthew, the owner, and he could not have been more professional or nicer. He was always responsive and able to help me out with a responsibility that was completely unfamiliar to me. The job they did was nothing short of phenomenal. They took a collection of pictures I provided (electronically via Google Drive if that matters) and made not only the usual video collage but also a blanket, a jigsaw puzzle, a printed collage board and, the one that garnered the mot comments, this folding memento of my wife. The visitors to my wife's Wake were all so touched and pleased by the job Fowler Kennedy had done that they couldn't stop talking about.

I called Casper about 2 months beforehand and they were very detailed and provided all the info that was needed. I had multiple phone calls with them and they were able to assist me even though I was in California. I mostly spoke with Jake and Colton during this process. When I arrived Saturday was the only day I could go down and we had a snowstorm the day prior. Roads were pretty bad and they were able to accommodate me even though they had a service going on. Parking can be a nightmare there, I parked a few blocks away near a barber shop. I would recommend this place to everyone!! I was truly blown away by their service and empathy.

It had been a very difficult experience. We have used this business for 3 family members. The…read morecompany has been known to us for many years, given I am friends with their cousin. Because of that, the experience has been even more distressful. There may be financial issues that have caused them to become so reluctant to return calls. The reason doesn't matter. It's not important to us any longer. It has now been 2 years since we used them, and the reason I waited until now was because we had been waiting for the military plaque to be installed after 2 years. At one point I was told "we have it and will be installing shortly". That, of course did not happen. The few times I was able to get through to a person to speak with I was told either, we are still waiting for it to come it, or it must be in a closet somewhere. How is that an acceptable response. We ended up calling the Veteran Administration to get this done in a matter of weeks. Before the incident with the military plaque, we had already had the headstone in place for the other 2 family members and just needed the engraving for the dates. That went on for over a year. My sister had to hunt down and find out who does engraving at that cemetery by calling headstone engravers in the area until she found someone did that cemetery. My sister even stopped by the funeral home more than once, no one answered. They do not return calls, have been inconsistent when we have been able to reach them and found after a long-term relationship, that we would be treated callously , was hard to understand. Whatever the reason, their line of work is to deal with people at the worst time of their lives, that is a special skill. One that appears they do not possess.
