My dear mother passed away on July 15th, 2024, 476 day's ago!!!…read more As of yesterday Dignity Newcomer's White Chapel at 6600 NE Antioch RD Gladstone, MO. 64119, phone number 816-452-8419 has yet to engrave her stone with the year she passed and fix my father's side with the fading. The paperwork for the PRE-PAID funeral was signed on 7-16-2024. I signed the Interment Order and Authorization form three times now!!! Still to this day they have given me nothing but excuses as to why this has not been done! I have been told every excuses under the sun! Too much rain in KC MO to do the engagement, weather related issues, there are six other families on the list with us being on the top of the list, it normally takes 6 months, there a third party company that does the Engravement so on and so forth!! I took these pictures yesterday, no rain, ground dry and still NOT ENGRAVED!! It took 3 hours to sign to prepaid documents only after I started questioning the price I was going to have to pay. Because I was having to pay the difference they paid for something that was prepaid for!! So yeah I was beyond pissed when the fiqures were not adding up!! Would you not be if it was your Mother or Father?! I was also told sometime after my Father's service this place turned away friends, co-workers, former KC MO police officers and military personnel away, that the service was for family only, which was a complete lie!! You can't tell me that there is only one engraving company with over 510,000 people in the greater Kansas City MO metropolitan area! I call bullshit and I'm over it with all the lies and excuses! All I want is to have my mother and father's stone fixed, done and completed so I can move there stone to were we live now! My sister called this morning speaking to Andrea Olsen, only to receive the exact same lies, excuses, as to why it hasn't been done. To only have Andrea Olsen say she will call once it's completed and hung up on my sister!! I did not post my mother's passing on social media nor did I call every family member at her request for several of her reasons that are irrelevant at this point! If you unfortunately have family member pass away I would highly recommend staying clear of this company period!! I don't want another family to experience the utterly disrespectful way we've been treated and especially the disrespect to the memory of my mother and father. This is NOT HOW YOU TREAT FORMER MILITARY MEMBERS!!!
