This review is long overdue. I am returning to express my gratitude for my mother's handling while…read morein the care of E. Vaughn Wray in November 2022. I am eternally grateful for the diligence, respect, and kindness shown to my family while my mother was in their care. Their team meticulously prepared my mother and presented her more beautifully than I could've imagined. I remember feeling much anxiety about a viewing - as anyone would - but experiencing an indescribable feeling when I did it; my mother was gorgeous. I cannot forget the warmth I felt while carrying out the difficult task of coordinating my mother's remains at every stage. I was shown patience, empathy, and respect. My mother's funeral was held in New York, but her first stop was with E. Vaughn Wray, and they took expert care of her. They even continued to reach out to my family as we traveled behind my mother from Virginia to New York for her services. They reached out during the process to ensure that her interstate transition went as smoothly as possible. They even offered their support after her services had concluded. Again, I'm grateful and I will continue to recommend them.

On 2/4/2022, I signed a contract with E. Vaughn Wray Funeral Establishment to embalm my mother's…read morebody and send her by plane to NY. The contract also involved the purchase of 6 certified death certificates. The total bill was $2114.00. ($542 for air transport by American Airlines and $1572 for the embalming, death certificates and tax). My mother's body was sent to another funeral home in Queens, N.Y. On 2/9, the embalmer at the other funeral home called me with the following disturbing information. 1. My mother's body was not embalmed properly. 2. She was sent in a container that was neither new nor approved for remains. He said the E. Vaughn Wray funeral home simply took an old container, flipped it inside out and placed my mother's body inside of it. He said she was not strapped in properly as well. He said it was the most disrespectful thing he had ever seen, in addition to other disturbing observations. Immediately after I spoke with this person, I called EVR funeral home to inform him of what I was told. I asked him for a refund. He refused. On 2/22, I called him to ask about the certified death certificates and why I had not received them. He said "this is a service that my company provides and we won't be providing this service". I am currently seeking legal advice on this matter. I had a gut feeling that I should not use this company when he asked me on the phone, even before I met him at the establishment, if I was bringing check or credit card. He also (multiple times) insensitively referred to transport of my mother's body as "shipping", as if I was purchasing an item on Amazon. The process of burying your mother is tough enough. Companies like this make it even more unbearable.

Eternal Honor, Respect and Gratitude Cedar Hill Cemetery amazed me today. It was a friend on Yelp (Carissa) that inspired me to visit here on Veterans Day. (I usually just visit one Veterans Cemetery). The grounds are immaculately maintained here. The land has hills and amazing trees and shrubs. The head stones and memorials are amazing - most are very old and historic. There are a lot of vets here. There is an amazing history here. The views are moving. I sure am glad my son (also a Vet) and I came here today and spent time to show gratitude and to take in the history and the beauty. A side note- while my son and I were about to leave - 2 ladies pulled up in a car and asked us if we saw a big Cedar Tree with a Cherry Tree growing out of it. They showed us a book that stated this tree was here and it was a book of Historical Trees of Virginia. We hadn't seen it but started out hunting it. We found the tree and it was most amazing. I'll post a photo or 2 of it. I've added photos from the cemetery already. This is a place I will have to visit again soon.

My situation required logistics that R.W. Baker made seamless. I am grateful for the compassion and professionalism exhibited by Suzann and the entire staff, from accounting to the boots on the ground, the day of my father's service.
