This is one of those businesses you hope you never have to use. But that said, every service I have attended here has been handled with respect, decorum and professionalism. The last service we were at several months ago was set up to live stream the service. I thought that was a nice touch as sometimes people do not have the ability to travel to locations or get time off of work. There is a nice size parking lot and the physical space and rooms are well maintained and clean.

I have always believed in "people first money second" especially in a time like this. Jamie Greenbaum was born for this position, her sensitivity, compassion and understanding of people who have lost a loved one was impeccable. Unfortunately this was a covid funeral which had many limitations, but Jamie and staff helped us honor and celebrate my father's life beautifully. The night before we needed to get photos in so they can make a montage. One of our family members gave me the wrong email and all emails came back with our pics. I was in tears, Jamie and staff at 7am the next morning 3 hours before the funeral made a miracle and what a job they did!!!! Thank you for all you do, Lori

They did almost everything for us and incorporated all the payments for the cemetery and the church into their bill, so we only had to write one check.

Ever since my father passed in 2010, I have been intending to write this review. It is difficult…read moregiven the painful and sensitive subject, but Scott Funeral Home deserves the praise. I did price shopping. Scott Funeral Home was quick to match local prices. The memorial involved a church, then the cemetery, then a restaurant. They worked closely with me on planning the details, and helping with newspaper notifications, thank you cards, and the like. Our family chose cremation. The cremation facilities are in another suburb. I let our contact know that I wished to drive along to accompany my father's body as it was transported to the facility. When I arrived for this, they instructed me to follow the hearse. I was surprised when another Scott Funeral Home vehicle pulled up behind me. They made it a funeral procession! For just one person, just one car, and not even technically part of the funeral ceremonies. While unexpected, I felt it was very dignified, and I was deeply moved. The day of the funeral, our contact was not available and Scott Funeral Home had someone else step in. I was very concerned about this, as I had gone over all the details with the original contact, we had a printing error on the directions to the restaurant that needed to be communicated to the mourners - it seemed to be a fiasco in the making and too much to think about with everything else going on. My concerns were unfounded. The substitute took care of everything smoothly and calmly. It was a great relief for an otherwise difficult day.

While I can't speak for all employees there, the man who worked with my sister-in-law caused so much grief and pain with his hard sell tactics and self-promotion that it made the whole situation much worse. This "gentleman" was very proud of the fact that he followed his father in this business, but all his years in this business must have inured him to the suffering of others. Plus, while I am not privy to the actual financial arrangements, rom what I have been told, the cost was exorbitant. It is so sad that there are people and organizations that thrive on taking advantage of those in their worst hour.

I see from other comments that her lack of concern for grieving families this is a long standing pattern of behavior. My brother who has been managing my dads burial from a distance did not deserve to be treated in a cruel way. My parents bought three lots, plus two in another section. There have been arguments about whether they were prepaid, which they were, and finally, days before we leave to bury my dad, Elena sends a document asking us to waive our rights in case my recently deceased father was buried in the wrong place, because we could not come and confirm! She included no map or diagram, not letter of explanation. Its been a nightmare dealing with Memorial. We are shipping my dads body from Florida to get him to Memorial to be with my mom and our brother, meanwhile my other brother had a stroke and my younger brother God bless him has been trying to manage all of this. Now I am concerned for his health. That is how bad this has been. May my dad rest in peace finally, in the right grave near my mom and brother. This process has been awful, traumatic and stressful for no good reason. Ms. E, your ego is getting in the way of you doing the right thing by families needing comfort. Shame on you. . Jane N.

But, NH Scott & Hanekamp truly went above and beyond to help my family say a proper goodbye to our loved one who passed unexpectedly. Prior to picking NH Scott, my family called and visited several other funeral homes in the area. From our very first interaction, it was clear that NH Scott was superior. During our initial meeting with Justyne, it was evident she was focused on making us comfortable and making sure we knew what to expect during each step of the process (as opposed to being more focused on the business or contractual aspects of the arrangements). This is why we chose NH Scott initially, and we couldn't be happier that we did. Our initial impression proved to be very accurate. Justyne and the other owners and employees, including Jon, continued to provide a high-level of customer service and emotional support throughout the entire process. They were always incredibly easy to reach any time we had a question or request, and continued to always respond with kindness and understanding.
