My daughter and I found ourselves in very unfamiliar waters. Our loved one was in the final stage…read moreof Alzheimers at Hospice. We had been working with three other long distant funeral homes in trying to make arrangements - almost impossible to get them to commit to costs and logistics. I spent hours on the phones with them and although they all came well recommended (one of whom even handled my father's funeral) none of them could hold a candle to Curlew Hills. They were beyond professional, patient and extremely supportive. Every single detail was reviewed and confirmed. It's just so personal at least for us. They left nothing to chance, were responsive to our questions, calls and emails. We decided to abandon the long distant arrangements based on the level of care Curlew extended to us. It wasn't routine. It wasn't just another client. It meant something! Our religious traditions were respected. We were speechless because for an entire month we had been dealing with funeral homes - where it meant nothing at all to them. We were frequent visitors to Curlew Hills for the yearly 911 memorial and we will remain with them FOREVER! I recommend them without the slightest hesitation, because they came through for us in going beyond the call of duty. They were so gentle with my mum - everyone at church commented on how professional Curlew orchestrated my mothers funeral. We received so many praises on their professionalism. Thank you so very much for making this very difficult time in our lives so much more easier to cope.

I was a family member and guest at a funeral service at Curlew recently. Compared to other services…read moreI have attended at other funeral homes, this one was a little disappointing. It seemed to lack the planning and oversight by staff members that is so critical on such an important day. The flowers that were coordinated through Curlew looked sadly wilted. There lacked any tribute to the vibrant life of the deceased in the way of pictures, videos, or memorabilia. The little prayer cards that were distributed were made out of paper and wrinkled as soon as you put them in your pocket. There was no comforting wrap up speech by a staff member, just a quick sentence on how to exit. There was no opportunity for each person to put a single flower on the coffin as a final goodbye. There was a little confusion with the procession of cars and how to line up. In a time of grief, Curlew should step up and provide opportunities to make the planning easy for the family.

I walked the cemetery and the preserve. I didn't inquire info or pricing of services.. A description of what I viewed while on the property is below along with several photos. The Heartwood Preserve is a medium size property and is essentially the same environment as Starkey Park. In fact, the most southwest corner of Starkey Park borders the Heartwood Preserve. The border fence can seen on the preserve trial which is probably a quarter mile long. I walked through the cemetery portion of the property viewing two graves. Small grave markers can be seen along the trail indicating gravesites. One grave not pictured was circled by pinecones with pineneedles a top. Each gravesite was directly beside the cemetery pathway (not paved) identical to many field like trials at Starkey where many fan shaped palm fronds are. The welcome center was staffed when I visited and a separate employee was tending to the grounds and politely waved and smiled. I learned a lot by walking the property on my own and will consider burial on these grounds.

So today I took his remains to Holloway Funeral Home to have them put in to several keepsake urns. I wasn't sure how this could be done. I called only one place. And instantly I knew I made the right choice. Summer was so gracious and helpful over the phone and made me feel comfortable and confident that they would be able to take care of this for me. So I made an appointment. My husband and I carried all the keepsake urns and my Daddy in to Holloways and handed it all over to Summer. We were able to wait while she took care of things. The sweetest part about this experience is when she was done she showed us what she had done and assured us that his remains will be safe in each one. So appreciative. I am certain that when the time is right if you are reading this you will be happy that you reached out to Holloways. I promise you they will take care of you and your loved one with great dignity, respect and love.

Holloway showed up the day of his death as well as another place that was going to perform the cremation. We were so stressed that day and did not know what to do but Holloway stepped up and asked us if we wanted to go with them and if we did they would price match. (Not that it mattered because I would have paid anything for my dad) They were so prepared and professional and took the time we needed as a family to say goodbye. As you can imagine, this was the hardest day of our lives! and Holloway was there every step of the way in an amazingly kind and professional way. The day of the service went so smoothly with them. The media ran smoothly and they ensured everyone had a seat at the ceremony. I cannot say enough about this experience and this business. I suggest, if you are looking for someone to entrust your loved one with, go with Holloway.

I have helped a woman in her 50's who lost her home and I helped get her into a local assisted living facility and she had money coming in for her social security disability but she suddenly died and has no family or friends in the area. She has one relative who lives out of state and doesn't have access to her bank account YET but because they are not getting the $$ right away they are dumping her with another group outside this area. I called several times throughout the week asking permission to see her to say "good bye" and they stated (LIED) the family would not give permission. I finally got the number for the family member and she said this facility NEVER called her to give permission for me to view her. This family member called this afternoon giving me permission to view and they denied me at the door stating "you need an appointment and she is leaving tomorrow." I offered $100 for just 5 minutes to see her before she left the area but the staff member looked at me with cold empty eyes and said "no." I understand rules but when minutes count and can make the difference for someone asking for closure and to say good bye you CAN make exceptions. Not them, they were done with her, the family member and me, Heartless! If this is how you treat someone without family and $$ you showed your true colors. This was just another injustice to this poor sole who did nothing but be kind to everyone around her. I am a retired military veteran and have a doctorate degree. I'm not just some hack - this was really ugly and sad.
